i have the v-twin. If you are into thick mids heavy distortion, you might like it. The overdrive channel is not bad either.

Only thing i didnt really like bout it is the volume increase when you switch from drive to distortion. As a solo boost, it work fine. But if you need a constant volume from drive to distortion, you might be frustrated with the increase in vol.

Whether does it get that recto sound, i am not sure. Most reviews seem to say that its not the same. But for sure, the distortion sounds good, imho

wah how much do u get the pedal for? did u import it ? yeah am looking for tt kinda distortion, i have a tubescreamer, modded 808 now looking for a distortion pedal to accompany, been using the boss mega distortion, now juz looking for sumthing better,...

i got it used. Saw the ads from luthermusic class ads 2 years back

If you are looking a good heavy distortion, maybe can check out sansamp gt-2 or tonebone hot british. I like the gt-2. The other sansamp pedal, tri ac also not bad, just like the gt-2, but more control over the setting
