This is just what a distortion pedal should do. It's OD-ish but no Metal Master-thingy type poop box. And so true about his touring fender-twin (or even board..[bad monkey/sans amp situation]) situation.
Guthrie sells out this pedal good. Even i want one now. It's not even the sound I'm looking for i just hope to get his skills when pushing on that pedal!
