Unique Pedal
Arran B 28.05.2018
This is an incredibly unique pedal that can be used with a variety of instruments to give a harsh, electronic flare to any style of playing. I have used the pedal with my electric guitar, electric bass, drum machine and sequenced analog synthesiser all with excellent results. I have not yet used the pedal with my electric keyboard, but from my usage to date I am sure it will work well in this instance too. It works well in a chain of pedals (as long as it is placed in the start of the chain) and I find it goes particularly well with some subtle delay.

Pros:
Excellent design and quality.
Intuitive and easy to use.
Wide range of sounds and options.
Works across multiple instruments.
Using the square wave only works as a great fuzz pedal.

Cons:
Not exactly needed in all styles of music.
The tracking of very low notes on the bass guitar especially can be a little off, but this is only sometimes and not that noticeable.

Overall I would recommend this pedal to those who want to turn their instruments into chugging, synth-driven, corrupted madness (or those who just want a pedal that offers something unique).

Not for everyone

It's a great weird pedal, but you have to be interested in experimentation to get the most out of this pedal.

I great challenge

Great pedal but it is a challenge to make something music with it. It's just amazing at making over the top crazy sounds.

It's an uncontrollable fuzz pedal, not a synth pedal
StaStas 05.12.2019
Weird pedal. It's supposed to be a synth pedal, but it really isn't. It's a fuzz pedal with a sub-harmonic and a crazy oscillator. It's fun for 10', but then you realise it's too expensive to sit in a closet. 'Cause this thing will have a hard time finding its way onto your pedalboard. Like most Earthquaker pedals, it's overrated. Good build quality but difficult to handle, and definitely a one-trick pony. For synth sounds look elsewhere, probably the Meris Enzo or the latest Boss synth pedal. This one's going back.

Amazing
Kiros 16.10.2018
If you want to go "over" this is the pedal. A journey trough the unknnow.
Infinite possibility.
If you give him a bit of time he'll give you a lot of new sounds
