This thing can be had for as little as $20 used if you shop around a bit. That's basically zero dollars, in my book. That's a pizza. It works as advertised. It distorts. Subtle it ain't. But honestly, it's quite a bit of fun to play around on. There are some better pedals out there (I prefer my Big Muff) but all of them cost more. And honestly, most of them require you to have a good handle on what you want. Whereas this? It's...just distortion. It's what you use until you can figure out what you're really looking for.I'll never bother to sell mine. It's got a certain charm to it.
