Sound
This box is nothing bout a rip-off of the well-known "Timmy"-pedal by Paul Cochrane. It is built in order to add a transparent overdrive, eg. it will NOT change the sound of the amp, just add some overdrive. By now, the box is discontinued since there was/or is a lawsuit against Danelectro from Paul Cochrane since they took the whole circuit design.
Soundwise this box does the job fantastic, it really doesn't change the sound of the amp at all. No added overtones, or added frequencies. There is adjustment knobs for bass & middle, but they are'nt needed unless You want to re-shape the eq when the box is used.
There is also a volume, which act as master volume and a gain control. These two works in conjunction with each other, just as an amp volume & gain will do. You can go all the way from no crunch to REALLY heavy crunch without no change in tone.
