There are what seem to me a few oddities amongst (perhaps especially) the pedals.
For example, the "Big Pig" has completely insane gain; I have to dial it back pretty severely to avoid clipping the overall output even with a very modestly set clean(ish) amp. There are so many Big Muff variants out there, I'm not sure whether this is authentically reproducing the behavior of any given one of them, though it's notably more insane than my old green Sovtek physical Big Muff pedal.
Also, the "Swedish death metal" tone is (in)famously achieved by diming a Boss HM-2, and that pretty much did the trick on my old physical Boss HM-2 (which, alas, I no longer have! ), though in my experience the "Metal Distortion 2" stomp model just sounds nasty, to be sure, when dimed, but also a bit weird ... a bit funny and digital.
