It does a great job of balancing the low end and boosting the highs in a way that will make your tone cut through the mix.

I use other pedals to boost leads (though I am quite certain the EP would do a great job in this role).

It does a great job of taking an overdriven vox or peavey (which can sound a little dark)and exciting the right frequencies to make the overdrive in your amp shine

There are videos to be found online that do a much better job of describing the tone than I can using words.

On top of that, it does a great job of boosting your signal from your guitar and getting you just a bit of "oomph"

This pedal does a great job of recreating that circuit.
