His style is great and it really suits him. It just looks sore and the ocd part of me gets all agitated
Nice sounding pedal. Sounds more like a fuzz than an overdrive to me when the gain is up
All pedals that do that (for example the wampler euphoria) have the property of getting much fuzzier and gainier as the bass goes up.
Would it be a good substitute for a Klon(e)?

The subjective bit is the distortion flavour. It has a bit of a fuzzy characteristic. I've only really noticed how pronounced it is under mic'ing though and not through an amp in the room. It's not unmusical, but might not be everyone's cup of tea.
The good bit is that its really touch responsive. In low gain mode its really uncompressed and you can go from clean to overdrive with your picking hand. It's still sensitive in high gain but with a bit more squish under the fingers. Because of the fuzzy quality that becomes more apparent the higher the gain setting, I've been running mine in low gain mode with the gain at 9 o clock. This adds a bit of sheen to the clean sound and a genuinely natural transition into overdrive. I've not found many pedals that can actually do this. it also doesn't sound like a pedal sound on top of your core sound, it's really integrated.
I have a distortion pedal for heavier duties and use the LG to boost it. A TS style pedal would probably be better for the mid hump thing but I only play with drums and bass so I'm not finding solos are getting lost.
The EQ is also really useful across the sweep. There are no bad settings to be honest.
Hope that's useful.
thankyou!
