Had the v1 years ago and used it fondly, mostly on drum machines and synths. Got back into guitar and the v2 quickly became an attractive proposition. Was weary though, due to it being expensive, but I see now how it may serve a core function in my tone. In my ears, it makes my clean tone more appealing and further lets me colour the tone ”unclean” with saturation and modulation. This pedal aspires to be a ”always on”, and has every right to!
