Sounds great but fiddly
The sound from this preamp is fantastic. The semi parametric EQ allows me to dial in the tone I'm seeking. It makes even a cheap bass sound boutique!
The only thing I don't like is its hard to setup. The instructions are minimum and it took a long time to find "my sound". But I found I had to tweak it even further when switching to the distorted sound, so I couldn't simply switch sounds on the fly. I would require a seperate distortion/fuzz for that.
If you want a set and forget preamp with DI out, and have patience to play around with the settings to find your own sound, then this is the pedal for you.

I
confused
so its a little bit confusing for me .
first, my pedal is active when the light is red and inactive when green , feels a bit counterintuitive unless my pedal is faulty.
build quality is not great, i had shorting specially with the gain so sometimes i need to actually push it to make it work.
due to its small size, the knobs are very close to each other which is annoying but a compromise that i accept.
you cannot change between clean , fuzz and distortion on the fly due to the difference in levels that creates.
for the pros, i mainly use the clean sound and it gives a lot of tonal variation. i love the blend knob which makes everything more organic to my ears. it has 2 cab sims that do a decent job , i usually use the modern and it sounds very good. lastly , you get a fair amount of in and outs for practicing, recording or playing alone.

Good preamp for the $
It works fine but the one I got didn't have a working Saturate pot so i can't give you a complete review. Otherwise, I liked it fine. Well thought out with an effects loop which thought was very smart.
