It's very much a one-trick pony and I'm not sure that it does that trick so well (maybe I haven't explored it enough). I have an Attack Decay pedal by Electro Harmonix and it is far more interesting with many more options, but is a lot more expensive. These tc electronic pedals have heavy metal cases and strong, snappy foot switches that feel good. I have other pedals in this line-up that I love that are rock solid, simple and sound good (Thunderstorm, Forcefield, Prophet, Cinders, Skysurfer, Honey Pot, Nether).
