I have it in my hands! And it has met or exceeded all my expectations!
Admitedly I've only had a quick 10 minute play, but so far so good.
I've always struggled to find a hi-gain pedal that I liked, and always stick with amp distortion as my chosen drive sound.
My Blackstar HT-Dual is great in the low to mid-gain area, but further up the gain scale on the 2nd channel I find it gets too fizzy for me.
This box does not have this problem. Up full it's still fat and full sounding with plenty of definition.
The tone control is very useable and plenty on top end, again helping with the definition.
Wicked. I was really hoping that it would be to your tastes and I really think it turned out great. Love that Metallic Black paint too. Is this pedal what the cream knobs will be for?
Is a possibility - I just thought the other night that it might look cool with pointer knobs, but I do like the whole all black look.
It's definitely to my taste, something I have been missing in my pedal collection.

i've seen schemes where it says to put leds in the circuit, but whats the point? do they actually light up?
KEEP UP TEH GOOD SALT
Indeed they do, and like Reece says they're used for clipping. The threshold voltage is much higher than Silicon diodes so you get a more open less compressed clipping style.
Just thought that you'd like to know that I love this pedal still.
Been playing all evening and it's great. It likes the SHO boosting it too.
The feedback is luscious, very musical and easy to tune.
