Having a hard time understanding how this effects your sound.  Can someone explain it?

How many of you have this as a permanent resident on your pedal board?

I have one each on my electric as well as acoustic board as the very last in the chain before amp.
I have it basically all the time on, when I switch it off I miss clarity and distinction in sound IMO.
As far as I understand the effect is basically a eq of the signal specifically designed to counter deficiencies in speaker acoustics and physical properties of amplifying a guitar signal with a classic speaker cone design; to 'bring back the sound as it should be'.
And that's what it does for me. It's also a bit like 'taking the blanket off the speaker cabinet, it's more defined and crisper with it on. I dig it.

Just my two cents... :)

Always-on effect for me, too. Last thing before amp. Makes the signal sound 'clearer' or sweeter I guess. Love it.
"If you put all the knobs on your amplifier on 10 you can get a much higher reaction-to-effort ratio with an electric guitar than you can with an acoustic."
