I used to have one. Brentrocks has it now. It was a nice OD box. It's pretty transparent too, without the midrange hump you get from a tubescreamer. The problem I had was that you couldn't turn the gain down enough for my taste.

It seems everyone had this problem, the 4th version (the one I have) has a much more linear taper to the pots, I could easily find a sweet spot on mine when I was using it, often I used it as an always on line driver to just add sparkle and dynamics.

Mine was a V4 as well. Even so, I couldn't turn it down enough to "just add some hair" without turning the guitar volume down too. Now I'm using an Xotic RC Booster, a Timmy, and a Barber LTD set at various gain levels. It works for me.

I love the LTD too,had a BB Preamp and should have kept it, at one time it seemed I had a lot of dirt boxes that covered the same territory.

I've been using an MXR Badass Modified OD.. I like it a lot.. I can leave it on and just roll the volume back on the guitar for sweet cleans, or turn it up for a nice bluesy bite!!

have had some time to mess with it, I like it a lot

 

it is a distortion pedal, so when it is on I expect some distortion :D it does clean up a bit with the gtr volume, which is nice.

 

but if I want *clean* I'll turn it off !!
