Great if all you need is clean
This little box has a really great clean sound. If this is all you are looking for, you can stop reading here. However, any over-driven is where it really fails short to me. With the limiter off and the gain set anything past 12 o'clock, it produces a nasty fuzz zing that I really can't bear. It takes pedals well and you can achieve a nice overdrive sound with a pedal, but when you push it too hot with that pedal, that zing comes back.
I've tried the Superblock with headphones, its XLR output, and with a guitar cabinet, I've tried even two different Superblocks, it all sounds the same to me. Great cleans, but unbearable overdrive tones, at least to me.
The overdrive tone is something I was particularly looking for, as the Superblock is advertised as full simulation of a tube amp at any volume. However, for me, it fails to deliver on that. I have decided to go for the Simplifier MKII, even though it means losing amp functionality, it does not have the above mentioned problem.
