To my ear, the effect is pleasant and meets exactly what I expected, even though I bought it more or less blindly. The only complaint, which may not mean a problem for someone else, is that the TONE has a very steep onset for my taste, and the extreme positions do not sound very pleasant to me, because they are either too burnt or too sharp. But every guitar can react differently. In any case, you can easily find the right color (approx. between ten and two o'clock). Otherwise extremely satisfied.
