Good if you like it dirty
Bought one of these a while back and ended up selling it because I don't use this much distortion.
The built quality is very good and the functionality is simple but is just too "hairy" for me.
Too much gain and I could never get a clear tone out of this.
I like a gain pedal that can play low if I want it to.
If you're into my line of thought this is not the pedal for you.
On the other hand if you are looking for a heavy gain pedal, this might be the one for you.

Nice but a bit dull and noisy
Basically, it is a good generic-sounding overdrive/distortion pedal. But I found the sound to be a bit dull, lacking lows and highs. Also, it seemed a little noisy, but comparable to a similar pedal by Boss.
So, if you have a packed pedalboard, this effect could add some new colour to your palette. But if you want just one distortion/overdrive pedal, maybe look for a more versatile and rich-sounding option.

Not the tones you want.
This pedal might lure people who want something like a TS but with maybe more gain on tap. As an MXR pedal it is very robust and good quality.
The sound however I found to be unusable in mostly every setup I tried.
The pedal introduces a muddy and fat overdriven sound, that is neither nicely compressed and saturated, nor rich harmonically.
Even at minimum gain settings it colours the sound 100% with kind of an unpleasant hard clipping distortion. Maybe someone could use this sound as a main rhythm sound for 80s-90s rock/metal.
Also it could be used to push your dirty amp to saturation.
It is possible that with expensive valve amps this pedal could result in something better.
