Electro-Harmonix Holy Stain Description
The Electro-Harmonix Holy Stain is a multi-effect pedal that combines room and hall reverb with switchable fuzz and drive. Add pitch shifting, tremolo and tone control and you've got a wildly interactive multi-effect pedal that will inspire any guitar player to make their mark.

this is my initial reaction, having just purchased it. To be fair to the stain, I haven't fooled around with it much, but my first inclination is to say that i probably won't keep this one for long. Not a big fan of the tremolo, which is the main reason I bought it. The reverb (either mode) doesn't do it for me either, just not very organic sounding to me, not a fan of the pitchshifter either. The "dirt" section wasn't that bad, i liked both the fuzz and drive on it. I think this box is trying to do to much and does'nt do anything great, which is what i want a pedal to be, GREAT! I'll give this this a few more chances to prove something to me.

Reliability: 0
I'll give it high marks, because of my past experience with EH effects, never had problems with anything before, wouldn't expect any with this.

maybe if you were on a small budget and wanted to variety to a pedal. But not off my initial reaction, no.
