Notes
This is a very powerful and versatile stompbox that can emulate: Ibanez Tube Screamer, Boss OD-1, DS-1, and Metal Zone, MXR distortion+, EHX Big Muff and some other overdrive/distortion effects, along with the chorus, delay, reverb, pitch shifter, amp emulators and many other useful things.The most importantly though, is that the effects sound realistic and natural, and you can create a chain of different effects in arbitrary order, including for an instance: placing two or more overdrive/dist one after another.
