That CTO-1 is badass. It has great response to my picking dynamics and does well with the guitars volume taper. It can be shiny so if I break out in a chickin' pikin' session it could sound authentic (just kidding, I can't).

The knobs on the front don't bother me. I opened it up and it looks like true bypass, not "fake" true bypass but the real deal.

It just brings out more of my actual guitar tone for less dinero.

Solarburn, how do you run your rig. Do you use both amps in stereo or one for clean one for dist, or both simultaneously. Or do you use the amps separately?

And if you do use them together how do you split your signal, are you using the VS and the CTO on each amp?

Sorry for all the questions but I have a Marshall and an el84 single ended amp that I am using together in various ways with the Danelectro and the Fulltone as my boost pedals so I am just looking for what options others prefer.
