Basic, hated, yet in my opinion quite good choice
I bought this pedal for to widen my choices and to discover whether the hatred it gets is deserved or not. I use it in FX loop of my M/B Rectoverb or Hughes & Kettner Tubemeister 40.
In spite of my rather low expectations I was pleasantly surprised, it's just wholesome no nonsense distortion pedal, which allows me to get the heavy sound I desire. All in all there's a reason Rob Barrett of CC uses (or used to use) it.
A solid choice, well built and I'd recommend it to anyone as their first distortion pedal, or just to add to their collection.
The bad reputation it sometimes gets, is not really deserved.

Truly a workhorse!
Despite quite small knobs, they are really sturdy. Once you learn the EQ and how to tweak your sound, it is easy to use with almost any kind of electric guitar. It's most suitable with metal and any heavier kind of rock and has a balanced tone even with the gain turned way up. However I don't recommend it for blues since it has a little bit more agressiveness than your average overdrive pedal. I highly recommend this pedal if you're looking for a quality metal sound that handles high gain with ease. The switch is very responsive and makes a smooth transit when turning it on or off which makes it great for live performances.

Distortion for special use
This is pedal, what you need if you play melodic/soft heavy (e.g. Nightwish). Outside (soft) heavy I have found very little use for this, since I'm not a heavy musician. The sound is almost the same regardless of the type of your guitar :-) This is in a way funny. Some people call this soft chainsaw distortion. There are also many modification possibilities for this box.

great for everything from blues to metal
this pedal has a bad rep but without extreme settings it can serve you anything from nice warm blues tones up to metal.
