I've had one of these for almost a year now and even though the honeymoon period is long gone, I still use it all the time because it just sounds fucking ace. Today I was playing my dad's blue flower Telecaster with it and was blown away by how great it sounded. It's good with humbuckers, but it seems to work best with single-coils. Pair it with a good Tele and you'll be in tonal heaven. Kept me playing for about four hours. With the bridge pickup it sounds amazing for the kind of grunge and alt-rock I like playing, and can go heavier too. And with the aforementioned Tele's neck pickup I was able to totally nail the Another Brick in the Wall lead sound. And it's also a favourite of country players, Jerry Donahue being a notable user.
It's green and has three knobs, but it's not your normal TS-style overdrive by a long shot. The way I have it set, with the Spectrum control at about 1 o'clock and the gain around the same, gives a more scooped sound that is very responsive to dynamics, and also responds really, really well to being stacked with a more middly overdrive with the gain set lower and the volume higher. You've gotta try one.
I don't have any video clips of my own sadly, but I'd like to get some up with the Tele soon. For now, here's PGS Andy.
Oh, and the best thing? I got mine for 55 quid. New.
I'll be a dick and even post a link if anyone fancies an impulse purchase. If you have a Tele though, you owe it to yourself.

Never tried their chorus but the Nobels tremolo is pretty good too.
