This is a distortion pedal, Darkglass. I think you can get a satisfying modern distortion sound with just this one pedal. You can infinitely adjust the blend of the two distortion characters, so you can easily find your favorite sound. The EQ band settings are also exquisite, and I've found it useful for easily creating everything from extreme scooped tones to tube-like distortion. Operation has been confirmed. Includes the main unit, box, and manual. The switch hat shown in the photo is also included as a bonus.
