Very clever "box". I own one "original" effect that this box is supposed to imitate (Big Muff Ram's Head) and I must admit that with a little effort you can get the same sound there. With Tone all the way to the left and Tone all the way to the right you get the same sound to my ear. For intermediate positions you have to turn it for a while and search. You can't get the same position from both boxes. The volume is not the same for all effects, you have to play with it, but that's probably a feature, not a bug. I don't know how they did it, but the box is lighter than the imitated effect and is a little bigger than the Ram's Head. It doesn't have the option of being powered by a battery, only via an adapter. But you can probably live with that. If you don't want to spend money on separate boxes and are willing to accept the risk of a slight difference (I repeat, I only had the opportunity to compare the sound of one effect), I recommend it.
