Bought this over 3 years ago. Used on many gigs and I think it is fantastic.
First off, I love it because you don't need to have it between your guitar amp and speaker cab, and the built in distortion is a great tone. The main reason I bought it was for the Bon Jovi song "Livin On A Prayer" and it sounds exactly like Ritchie's tone. The built in speaker/preamp has more than enough power to send a decent, loud signal into your mouth and to your mic.
The send/return is a nice feature, but I haven't found much use for it, so if you only need the dry distortion going into the tube, it's probably worth going for the the Banshee.
All in all, a fantastic pedal. I'd definitely get another if something went wrong with it, but I doubt that's likely as it's built like a tank.
