i still have one in the gigbag..it's the only spare pedal i bring to gigs in case things go pear shaped....i used it solid for about 12 years before that on the pedalboard......good solid overdrive..it's also as far as i know one of the few boss pedals with no ic's involved..one of the many boutique overdrive pedalmakers claims to fame.....i used mine mainly in mode I for a light break up sort of sound or as a booster for the ds1...the only complaint i could make is that the volume of the pedal itself seems a little low for an overdrive..but used together with a ds1...watch out......
