This pedal is fantastic! It sounds amazing through my Twin Reverb. It's a pretty transparent OD and doesn't add that mid-range bump like a Tube Screamer (not that there is anything wrong with a mid boost). Having separate knobs for bass and treble really give you more tone shaping capabilities compared to one tone knob. I play a Les Paul and a Tele, so the extra controls really help. There is a ton of variation with the gain. Rock, blues, country, this is your pedal. It may not work well for metal. You can turn the gain way down and use it as a lead boost, or crank it and get a great crunch. It also works extremely well for gain stacking pedals. It's very responsive to the volume knob on your guitar, as well as your picking attack. It blows away boutique pedals I've tried, and for this price, you can't go wrong. Also, just because I was confused and had to do some research, there are two designs for this pedal, but they sound exactly the same.

.This is a great pedal for sending a low-crunch tube amp channel into rich overdrive.

But, my primary use for this pedal has been in conjunction with my reamping setup. I use this pedal very extensively in my studio for adding character to vocals, snare, synths, bass, percussion, you name it.

.Awesome pedal for the money. I typically lean towards more bluesy overdrive pedals, but this one is a nice addition in the pedal train as it has a bit more grit and provides me with a brighter sound. I use it next to a Xotic BB+ and a Wampler Plexi pedal into Fender amps. The Wampler provides a nice bass boost, so the Crayon is a great companion in this set-up.
