I used one of these for quite a while for live work as a signal booster into a Boss Metal Zone and was quite happy with it. It's nothing to get excited about in a noise context on it's own but it can be a nice partner to other pedals.
Good Points: Tough build, plays well with others.
Bad Points: Rather weak sound on its own for noise (much more of a guitarists pedal), can be pricey.
Price Paid: US$30.00

Nothing special, kind of pricey (new at least) for what it does. The distortion is pretty tame, although the output boost isn't half bad. I would skip it if I had to make the choice again.
Good Points: Alright distortion, good boost.
Bad Points: Nothing that great.
Price Paid: US$70.00

This was one of my first pedals back when I was in middle school. I kept it up until last year (14 years). I never used it at all, except for when I was in middle school. It does an alright job at lighter ditortion, but once you get higher up on the dial this thing sounds pretty weak. A little less impressive than the Boss DS-1 even. Actually the trebles seemed to be boosted quit a bit, so could be good for doing some high end scree...? Any ways I sold it for more than I paid for it to a guy who plays noodles on the guitar.
