Brilliant, versatile, easy to dial in
I've been playing with this pedal for a few weeks, and am more than satisfied with its sonic qualities, as well as its versatility. It delivers anything from a nice overdrive to dynamic, singing sustain, is very touch sensitive, and responds very well to the guitar's volume control. I've been running it into a few different amps, and couldn't be happier with it. It gives a clean valve amp effectively three channels, and turns a crunchy classic Marshall into a fire-breathing monster. Very well thought through in both concept and execution. Bravo, EHX!
Ehxtortion
Overall I think it is built well. High quality construction. Cosmetically pleasing to the eye. The best part is the tortion sounds great . You get a warm rich overdrive with this pedal and you can achieve that high gain crunch. It's like having two extra channels on your amp. Three band eq lets you dial in humbuckers or single coils. Having two separate volume and gain controls is nice giving that extra boost for leads. Great pedal would recommend checking it out.
