This is a pretty impressive distortion. It's got a massive gain range, from light breakup right up to fully mental. It's also got a very powerful, interactive EQ, so you can dial all sorts of different tones in. There's a certain transparency and amp0-like quality to it, so even at higher gain settings it's still got that natural quality to the sound. Classy!
