This is definitely a great sounding and versatile pedal. However, I found that I can get better sounds with simpler pedals with only one functionality. I use the Monterey on my small travelling pedal board (together with a delay, a tremolo, a tuner and a looper). If I am at home or gigging and have a larger pedal board, I think sticking with more pedals that only have one function each, does a better job. But that is my opinion. I know many who LOVE the Monterey.
