Good, but I'm not sure if I'm convinced

First of all, thank you Thomann for quick operation with failed unit! You're great! And what about the pedal?
Quality - It looked like everything was working but the pedal was dead silent - no sound going out of the device. After I received the second pedal the same issue also happened once or twice. And now I may understand the reason. Looking at the older videos on YT there were different in/out jack ports - the internal parts of them were covered. My pedal has them without any cover. I suspect the jack ports were shorted somehow to the casing. In the second unit it happened after I was setting internal pots. Probably I mounted the back plate a bit differently. I fixed it on my own - just tried to bend more the internal parts of the jacks to increase the distance between them and the back plate.
Sound - generally I like it, but do not feel blown away. It sounds better when it's connected to the real amp (Fender Deville). When it's connected to my Tonex I can hear some unpleasent modulating, higher frequencies. The second channel with more gain is noisy, much more than my cheap TC Magus Pro set to heavy gain, but maybe that's the cost of that high-gain channel.
Features - as you can see in the picture - two channels, many knobs ;) I can customize the sound depending on the needs.

Would I buy it again? I don't think so. Would I sell it? I don't think so :)
