I thought fully featured meant it wasn’t missing anything. And compared to most boosts it’s not.I don't have anything against this pedal but calling it full featured is quite a laugh.
yeah...there is only 1 knob
That’s fair. Actually i think I’m wrong on this point after thinking about itI think for most people "full featured" means "has lots of features".
I think it's meant to be fully featured. As in, you won't be able to not see it and you have to have it. Until the next one comes along.I don't have anything against this pedal but calling it full featured is quite a laugh.
I’m sure I’m in the minority on this, but I hate completely obscure and subjective descriptions on stuff like this. (Not saying this pedal - just ODs/boosts, etc in general). It reminds me of cold medicine. I just flip the container over and see what the active ingredients are, and don’t care if it’s a “cold and flu” or “cold daytime formulation extra strength.” When we talk about “tight” we’re really talking about EQing the signal. I’d much rather know exactly what is going on, because otherwise it’s damn hard to do an apples to apples comparison across all the different types. And as a consequence, I just don’t buy any of them. I’m content to hear what people do on their EQs to get a good sound, and mimic that. I wish these sorts of pedals were like delays. Delay pedals are VERY explicit of what is going on, in terms of repeats, wet/dry mix, milliseconds of delay, etc. So if I have a pedal that only goes to a certain length delay, I know I can get other that goes further. With ODs and boosts, they’re not typically giving you the precise info on what’s going on.

Mainly because if they give you a frequency analysis you can duplicate it with an EQ so you don't really need to buy the pedal
There's some magic with clipping diodes that many players like that just aren't in EQ pedals.
