I purchased this item used. While it has a well-worn appearance, it functions without issue. It produces a raw, aggressive sound. It would be a great fit for metal, hardcore, and of course, grunge bands. This distortion has a strong FAZZ feel, so RAT lovers should definitely check it out. It looks pretty rough, but it has been thoroughly cleaned with alcohol. Battery and power supply operation have been confirmed. The box and manual are not included; the pedal itself is the only item for sale. I really love this effects pedal, but unfortunately, I have some awkward bills to pay again this month... so, thank you for your understanding. Please note that this is a used item, so please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about its condition. Price reductions are not possible. Thank you for your understanding.
