You can make it more gradual with a simple mod (it's literally just adding a resistor, iirc). It is definitely not a shy pedal, though.
It runs an EF86, which has more of a fat full range thing happening than 12AX7s. It does get a lot of furry, crumbly texture at higher gain settings plus whatever nastiness you've dialed in with the bias. In person, I'd say the sound leans more towards thick mids and kinda saggy lows more than treble, which gets lost in most of the cell phone demo vids. (That and a lot of the vids are just people shredding.)
GC blew them out for $99 when they were discontinued a couple years ago, so you'll occasionally see them for $70-80, but most sell for around $100.
