It sure is, look up the sample settings in the manual for it too, see if they float your boat. The SAG option is interesting. PM me your address and i can post it tomorrow

Check out the Visual Sound Son of Hyde. It's a huge fat pedal. The mid knob goes from massive chugz right through to sorta Sleep territory. Roll back the gain and treble, crank the mids and it's a very convincing Zeppelin sound. Great little units that punch way above their weight.

if you don't trust Pete Thorn, then definitely don't trust Ola either, he makes everything sound awesome.
