Ooooo, very interested in these to be used into a clean amp to give me clean/crunch/solo.

Well jell!

Yup, full fruitbowl!

So you'll be playing with lots of knobs tonight?

Ooh, it's good. Ooh, it's really good. Insane levels of gain... BE-OD levels. Push it too far and it gets a bit noisy, but dialled in sensibly I think it's a cracker, and the 'voice' control means you can get it to play nice with lots of different amps.

Very nice.  
I'd be very interested to hear how it compares to the be od and the riot?   Is it effectively two riots in one box?

I no longer have either to compare it directly to, but I'd say the BE-OD is brighter and more cutting and the Riot is darker. I expect it shares some DNA with the Riot but is voiced slightly different and with a full tone stack.

I'm very interested in this pedal. Is it possible to set the first channel to a very soft crunch and the second channel to a classic rock lead tone or is the pedal to gainy for such a classic tone? Greetings from germany!

Kebabkid

Sounds promising and I'd also be interested to hear from other new owners.

Definitely possible I'd say. It also cleans up nicely with the guitars volume.

I'd really like to try one of these in a similar setup to how digitalscream has his Bogner pedal. Suspect it would get me most of the way to the kinda tones I like (big modded marshall type sounds) without needing a loud expensive amp...

So if you back up the lows and highs and push the mids it is possible to create TS like overdrive sounds?

Sounds stupid but I just hate the font they used for 'eclipse' and the colour of it. Bet it sounds great though. 

TTBZ

Yeah the Suhr pedal font is bloody awful.

I'm curious about these. But I think my current Distortion may have the edge in terms of noise levels.
