Ok this pedal is cheap so obviously you cut it some slack when judging the sound quality. But this pedal is buffered non true by pass, normally not an issue for me. But it makes buzzing noise even when it鈥檚 off, it鈥檚 not my cables trust me. And when it鈥檚 on, first in my stack of pedals (least amount of noise).... craY buzzing. The pedal is not defective, is鈥檚 just so cheap that it sucks that bad. Not worth it even if you鈥檙e on a budget.
