BLackstar has some of the best sounding amplifiers on the market right now. Now they are better equipping guitar players with very useful and effective distortion pedals. Even their ISF control knob and their award winning preamp design has been put it into a pedal.
This is a pedal that has dual boosts and distortions. This pedal was design by the the guitarist from Ozzy called Gus G. These two spend time compiling what was needed to get a fire breathing distortion boost.

SOUND QUALITY
This is an over the top distortion box. This thing is all that the other dual box is but increased even more. A slightly different voicing but generally the same thing. This box is just a distortion monster. Most of it in my opinion is unusable gain. I know there are guys who think you can never have too much gain, but they are wrong. Unless you greatly increase you midrange then you will not cut through the mix. You must have something in the way of clean gain to cut through without boosting the mids, which for you down tune guys an mega gain and distortion guys you wanna kill the midrange. Tag is why most guitar tone pretty much suck in the metal world tight now. They have so much gain and drop A# tuning is just sounds like someone belching. The tones from many of these bands right now have a guitar tone that sounds like someone belching. It is horrible!
OVERALL OPINION
At new you can find these pedals for right at around $270. They are hard to get so if you find one and Gus G is your man than you should pick it up. He does have a killer tone on with his last band Firewind. This is a cool pedal nonetheless, but they are a bit more expensive then he other Blackstar pedals. This is a cool pedal but let someone else take the new hit and buy it used and save 40%.
