It's simply nothing what it says it is.

I found it to be an anemic TS-9 type with very little gain and a really stuffy low-mids boost, nothing like a pleasant "saturation" effect to be found. Might've been useful for a clean boost, I couldn't care less now.

Marshall Jackhammer - no matter what Idid it feedback all the fucking time, tried it with a few different guitars & amps. It was proper pony!
I was once asked by the soundwoman at Sound on leicester Square to unplug it & put it away it was soooo bad. There is a chance I got a rogue, they can't all be like this surely? I think one of my old band mates blames the pedal for some of his hearing problems.

yeah same here it was my first and it sucked batteries like hell. then i bought the uber expensive addapter.

when i get another distortion pedal rat2 i think im gonna kick it out of the board. but i dont know what to do with it then. theres no point on selling it on gaybay because i'd earn like 15 euros.

DOD Grunge, and like Joe said, any sort of auto-filter.

The Behringer Chorus I had fucking sucked ass and was terrible and I hated it.

Ibanez soundtank distortion. I got it to boost an overdrive signal to feedback, but it skipped directly to awful squeeling microphonic feedback, and simply owuld not do anything else. I gave it to a fellow Bender last week or so, and now it's a fucking rad bass/noise synth with body contacts housed in a tupperware the size of your goddamn dvd player.

Yup, although I sold my functioning one on eBay a few months ago, my Tokai OD does a great impression of it, no point in having 2 OD pedals I only occassionally use.

Or sell it and get a pedal tuner which will tune AND mute your signal.
