"Great pedal!"
Feature:It's a tank. 5 knobs and 2 push buttons. (Just FYI: The BOSS Metal Zone has slightly better EQ settings)
Quality:
My little scoop button doesn't light up... not sure if it's supposed to.
Value:
It's a little too expensive in my opinion. I think $75-$90 would be more reasonable.
Desirability:
Looks pretty decent... has great reviews... endorsed by Dime Bag from Pantera (which I don't like because it's cheezy and jacks the cost up)
Sound:
Ok... I got BOTH the MMX Dime Distortion AND the BOSS Metal Zone. MX just sounds more "tube" and sounds much better for recording on the computer. BOSS Metal Zone has a little more crunch (and might work a little better with a microphone) but sounds more transistor and buzzy. Both had some terrible feedback ... which is to be expected from that much distortion. I recorded what both sound like using a digital recording program on the computer and wish I could post the MP3s. I liked the MXR even better when it was 4 guitars together panned out from each other. NICE! My take? I like the MMX Dime Distortion a little better... especially for digital recording - I didn't have to mic my guitar and it sounded authentic tube. I like that thicker tube sound. It's a slight bit cleaner sound than the BOSS but still has that nice crunch-crunch-crunch. Those two are the leading distortions on the market right now so I only tested the two. (All this was tested on an Ibanez AT300 guitar, a PC using a multitrack program, and a 15 watt RMS Crate amp).
Support:
N/A - never had to contact them
Overall:
I'm happy with it. Now I'm going to run it through some EQs and tube filters and see what I get. muhahaha

"MOST VERSATILE DISTORTION EVER"
Feature:5 knobs: Output, the standard Treb, Mid, Bass and Gain. Also a switch that I think compresses the sound. Only qualms I have with the setup is that I wish the tiny compressor button was bigger.
Quality:
This should last you a lifetime. Tough metal case...switch is made from same.
Value:
Cheaper than those boutique amps.
Desirability:
Its pretty much perfect...I only wish it wasn't endorsed by Dimebag Darrell. That fact alone probably tacks on about 20-30 bucks to the price.
Sound:
Screams versatility. Can get Tube Screamer tones all the way through to Grindcore stuff. Sounds great through Twin Reverb.
Support:
Never needed customer assistance.
Overall:
Sounds good right out of the box. Minimal fiddling.
