I wouldn't recommend using it as an overdrive, if that's what you're thinking.

wow, looks great :D

tube and everything! and a noise gate thrown in! (in case any of you don't know, i have a huge thing for Behringer gear :lol: )

could it do REALLY heavy tone though? not Trivium/BFMV tone, but i mean Doom/Death metal tone

maybe along the lines of this

i know, they use Matamps, but this is just a reference.

It's a Vox Bigben copy I believe, if it sounds even slighlty as good as the original it could be interesting :)
You have to use it to boost an already overdriven amp.
