This pedal is a must have for any gigging guitar player. It is totally versatile, it all revolves around the MODE knob, offering 4 practical, usable settings, allowing the user to pick from 4 completely different voicings. I use a Marshall JCM 800 head, I use this pedal with the mode knob set to the first setting for the original TS9 voicing when I am going for a hot rodded sound in conjunction with that head, especially for leads. I have used the pedal in the HOT setting with a fender combo to get a great bluesy tone. When using the 3rd and 4th mode it pushes into the metal zone. This pedal truly has something for everyone, and can be used in a variety of ways to achieve the desired tone.
I had heard alot about this pedal through word of mouth and magazines. The quality of the construction is very good. It has a lot of tone variation. I like to use it as a boost to the tone and volume. It gives a nice edge to the sound. I haven't had this pedal very long and still am experimenting with it. Not sure which setting I like best on the overdrive, but I seem to keep going back to the original TS 9 setting. I think this pedal would be great for lead guitar with some bite. I prefer to use the BOSS MT-2 for the heavier rythm. I use this pedal with a Fender blues, Jr amp and I think it saves on the tubes rather than cranking the Amp way up.
There are 55,000 overdrive pedals on the market today and impossible to test them all. However, this one is a safe choice especially if you are interested in the classic rock tone. Very close to the original tube screamer with some updated options. Awesome!

I've been playing for 41 years. And boy are my arms tired. But seriously folks-if I had to pick just one pedal from all the pedals I own-which are many-this is the one. I'm told Keeley does not make these anymore, that you need to buy a stock one and mail it to him. The rolloff on this pedal is legendary. Set it hot and control it from clean to mean with the volume control on your guitar.

The Ibanez pedal was said to be used but in great shape. When I got it, it was like new and had a new battery. It was ready to rock!
