Yeah. This was my reaction as well. I thought it would be cool, but I was wrong, at least for doomy distortion. It works as a boost, but when there is any amount of gain in the circuit, the hiss is incredible. My metalzone is quieter than this thing on the same power supply (no joke).

i've listened to a bunch of videos...not tried it first hand...and it didnt do much for me.
I'm completely guessing here, and I may be way off...but I would say that if it was a BAT pedal it may be slightly different as it tailored for a certain taste in tone; whereas being its Digitech (DOD) it has to have a mass market appeal, so its voiced that way.
I like the Boneshaker. I think it depends on what kind of sound you're going for. I'm not sure if it'll keep the Quantum Mystic off of my board (might try stacking them, though I have never had any luck stacking gain), but it's got a certain clarity and graininess to it that pairs well with hot pickups. My strat with a Lace Wino bridge p/u through the Boneshaker was GNARLY. If you are going for woolly tone, I don't think this is what you want. But since I've been slowly going for a cleaner, clearer tone, I've gotten some good sounds with Boneshaker -> V4 (though I think it'd probably pair particularly well with something that has a gritty clean-ish channel like a Marshall or Peavey) into my Orange cabs.
That said, yeah, it is a rather noisy pedal. Gonna hit Mark up about it and see if there's anything to be done.
Yeah I think you guys got a higher attractiveness ratio going on down there, I noticed that last time I was down. Although with the the heat up here lately, Brisbane has become the capital of shorts that are probably not legally considered clothing. With this comes the good and the bad, but I gotta say it has been mostly very, very good.
Misogyny, over and out.
WWPD?

Don't know if it has already been posted by Kowloon Walled City streamed their new album and they have an interview with Kurt from Converge: http://noisey.vice.com/blog/kurt-ballou ... iew-stream. New album is pretty nice.
