Packaging of the device was poor so when it arrived 4 if the sliders were loose in the package and there were tiny scratches on the metal surface presumably where the sliders had been rattling around. This look a fault on the manufacturers packaging as there was no foam protector on the front Am waiting to see if dV247 will refund the item or discount
Awesome product that will replace most of your overdrive pedals in one! Fully Midi controllable which adds massively to the functionality, also many parameters can be controlled with an expression pedal.
Sadly it took some time to arrive as a result of incomplete customs documentation submitted by DV247 in Cologne and it was held for 3 weeks by UPS whilst this was being sorted out! However thankfully I was at least not charged additionally when it arrived.
Worth mentioning that part of the delay was due to incompetence and poor customer service on the part of UPS so my advice to DV247 would be to use a different courier!
