As for the J&H, it wasn't my thing. The distortion is more than I needed, and the overdrive side wasn't as transparent or responsive as I would like.

I loved it and swore by it when I had a fender amp. When I got my Traynor though, I ran into the problem thesteve had and found it was too mid/low heavy for my liking. Sometimes that's actually a good thing, but I found I couldn't get much crispness out of it without it sounding thin. I always found the fender to be very bright and trebly, so it probably perfectly balanced out the Jekyll and Hyde to get a sound I liked. I did find though that it never quite reached the crunch level I like for metal. The Traynor amp really replaced it for me. Definitely worth buying though. Of any distortion pedal it's the first I'd recommend.

It's awesome! I love that pedal, but I'm a big fuzz lover in general. If you check out some of the video's on the Z Vex website they give you a very good taste of this pedal

I love the J&H, the overdrive is fairly transparent, regular but very sweet *)* type drive, but the distortion side, this is where the unit excels, IMO! Very smooth, hard, and modern. Way NICE. Maybe my fav distortion box right now. To bad I have no real use for distortion.

I like using the distortion side of the J&H with my SBN Screamin' Eagle. The Screamin' Eagle is definitely my favorite overdrive, I use it constantly.
