It is a quality made pedal. As the other ones that I had from MXR, very well built. Tone wise, it is different from previous signature versions of Yngwie. Compared to my DOD YJM308 and Fender's version, it is slightly darker and a bit muddier. At the minimum gain level clipping still can be heard with medium to higher output pickups. Unfortunately, this version still has some amount of hiss which gets quite loud with a cranked plexi.
