I found the second, more gainy channel far too much. It was very noisy in the clean channel of my Peavey Invective MH and went into feedback super easy. Sounded very fizzy too. The first channel tho was very good. Especially when boosted with my TS Mini. So I decided to return it, since I couldn't see myself using the second channel. Instead I got myself the original BE OD and I'm super happy with that one. The Deluxe might be great as a preamp tho. Haven't tried that since that wasn't the use, I bought it for. Still good product.
