A solid overdrive choice
I play mainly blues/blues rock, and like to have a clean sound that is just pushing over the line, so has a bit of break around the edges. This pedal responds nicely to dynamics. I'm able to set it fairly clean, but with a bit more pick attack I can push into into a light breakup overdrive. As such, for the tone I like, this pedal performs perfectly. Right now, for my preferences, the Wampler Euphoria or Nobels ODR-1 are better for my desired sound.
It drives well with the gain turned up, and is a pleasing sound on my tube amps (Marshall Class 5 and Fender Pro Junior which I keep at clean volume levels).
I no real criticism of this pedal. It does everything it's supposed to, and I do like the tone, it's just that right now I have other pedals I prefer with my amps. It's definitely well worth trying out, though, and may have perfect for tone you and your setup!

A bit underwhelmed
Now, don't get me wrong, this is a great little pedal. The construction is road worthy, the knobs and footswitch feel real solid. No issues in terms of it's construction and foreseeable reliability.
I've heard that this was "THE" pedal for any Vox owner, and it does play really well with my AC15. My main issue is the high end. It's very fizzy and hard to dial out. Even with careful dialing in of the MXR Timmy, the high end is either fizz or gets too dark for my taste,
I have other great "transparent" pedals, and perhaps I would not be so picky if I had nothing else to compare it to. All-in-all this is a great pedal, I'm just not too impressed with the fizzy high end.

Good cost effective overdrive
Really good overdrive and gives you pretty good Timmy style sound. I use this alone or in stack with other overdrive.
