Let's be quick with this one because it's a single objective pedal- mega destruction. If you wish for lots of distortion, a blatant disregard for EQ & setting everything to extremes, this is it. So is that a good thing? It depends on the manipulator If you are looking for something intense but with singing tonal quality then you are wasting your time. Being 'nice' should never be a point of reference with this one, maybe that's the reason two knobs are all it needs to serve its master. TCE's Eyemaster, together with Digitech's Death Metal, are on equal terms when it comes to maximum delivery. On the more appealing side, I dare say the Eyemaster has a more usable bottom end by default. If it helps, Entombed's Left Hand Path should be a useful backdrop when it comes to understanding what's in store for the player. Perhaps one needs to dial up a wee bit more lower frequencies over at the amp end to make it more convincing.
What I like about this pedal- the holes you see depicted above. These keep the battery clip tips in place if no battery is in use. This way, the clip stays put & most likely would not damage/ short circuit the pedal.
