This thing is awesome. It's like a Swiss Army knife of OD/Boosts.
I've been using it quite a bit lately. It can beef up your clean tones and give them some oomph for arpeggiated stuff, unlike my Bad Monkey which just makes cleans sound kinda meh. As a boost I can dial it to sound identical to a TS/Bad Monkey... or it can be dialed to sound transparent which is how I use it for my recto... just to tighten up the lows a bit without the mid bump.
I thought all the switches and dials were a bit much at first, but they're all very useful. I'll be keeping this one on my board for a while.
Looks sweet, and your description makes me wish I'd heard of this before I picked up a Green Rhino to replace my Bad Monkey!

Despite a million debates raging in his head over string guage, pickup height, Pete Townshend's sexual history, and pick material he makes his Shiva give up the goods. Plus his unplugged electric tone... well... it exists.

Yeah, but I don't think you can go wrong with the Rhino.
Right now I've got the Black Powder set up for leads and the Monkey I use for rhythm stuff. The Monkey just sounds more raw and agressive... The BP is dialed to sound fatter and smoother for leads. I think I paid 160 for it, which is a lot less than most bootek OD's.
