This is a clever little unit, really. Having Lukather's signature tones in one pedal is a big draw, and the three independent circuits offer surprising versatility. It's perfect for players wanting a range of gain options without a ton of clutter – especially those who dig that classic, slightly gritty California tone.

Frequently Asked Questions

The 'Fat' switch adds a noticeable low-end boost, thickening the overdrive and boost tones, making them feel more substantial and less thin.
While it has a distortion channel, it's more suited for classic rock and blues; extreme metal tones will likely be too brittle and lack the necessary aggression.
The specific barrel connector (5.5 x 2.1mm, center negative) is required; a standard power supply won't work without an adapter, which could introduce noise.
