It plays well with the volume knob and playing dynamics. Plays soft and it has a nice clean bloom and hit the strings for a growl.
A few minor concerns: it is about the size of a Muff (so bigger than a Boss pedal), and there is a some noise (nothing major, just some hiss).
For $100, it is a great deal.

Plenty of headroom to keep up with a loud tube amp.
Dual gains do create a lot of feedback, though.
Bass boost is great.
Very rugged.
Quiet switching.
It needs separate low and high eq controls, instead of simple tone pots, though.
But, I'm going to keep this one because it's loud.
This pedal isn’t at all difficult to learn or use but even at that you may find yourself spending hours getting carried away dialing in different tones. Every player has a different preference, but the great thing about this pedal is that you are almost guaranteed to find a tone that you love if you spend enough time dialing it in.
For live use I pretty much leave this one on setting that I like and toggle on whenever I want distortion, but it would be nice to have a stomp switch between channels. I might fork out the money for the Duel Pugilist one day, or even another pugilist if I want one set to rhythm and another for lead tones.
The only genres this not might be well suited for are extreme genres of metal that you would play on extended range guitars.
Fender replaced my item without even thinking!!! Now I know why I play a Strat through a Hot Rod Deluxe.
Thank you!
What I really like about it though, is the ability to have two entirely different-sounding distortion effects that don't require adjusting the control knobs to switch between effects. And then being able to stack the two distortion engines if wanted, which creates a full, complex sound.
If you are shopping for a new distortion pedal, it might be worth giving the Pugilist a listen with your guitar and amp combination. I find the sound and pedal design impressive. You might too.

Tem dois canais distintos, sendo um com ganho menor e outro com ganho maior. É possível mixar os 2 canais e obter um som com ataque e definição com distorção e sustain, algo que somente consegui extrair com pedais de 2 canais e blend knob. As texturas são complexas e ricas. Também é possível ligar os 2 canais em série e obter ganho ainda maior.
O ponto negativo é que só tem um knob de tone para cada canal. Seria muito mais versátil se tivesse controles de grave, médio e agudo separados para cada canal. Entretanto, isso pode ser ajustado em seu amplificador. No meu caso, somente o knob de tonalidade já é suficiente.
Gravei um vídeo que inclui nesse review, gravado com Fender Deluxe Reverb 65 RI e Fender Stratocaster com captadores Kinman. O microfone do celular não ajudou muito, pois comprimiu um pouco o som, mas já é possível se ter uma boa ideia.
Gostei muito do pedal e espero poder ajudar de alguma forma em sua decisão.
