They are great for gigs where you know over the years they ARE going to take a battering but they will keep going. I've had my Metal Zone and Turbo Distortion Pedals now for 6 years and they just keep on going and going. No sign of collapse
Now I've said this they'll probably die at practice tonight
What does this pedal actually do? It improves sustain? Makes all notes sound at the same volume?
Nah, they won't stop working during practice.. If they do, they're just fooling around making you all sad before they laugh gain at you
Well, it does a mix of both.
It increases sustain and level without increasing distortion (It compresses louder signals while boosting lower signals.)
