Pro Tube series in the late 80's and were really just a hot rodded Marshall JCM 800. The 50 watt and 100 watt versions in the AOR series were not to my surprise the hot ones. I believe they were a little cheaper and once used were affordable to many up and coming Metal players. So it would not be unfair to call this pedal a JCM 800 pedal but with more gain and a few extra options. To set it up closer to a more JCM 800 sound is definitely possible but not your best choice of MIAB for that.
It has 2 channels. The first has preamp, bass, mids, treble and gain that gives you something closer to a classic style crunch but this pedal is really about the second channel which adds more gain for massive dirt and saturation. Each band of EQ allows you to boost it separately by the toggle under it. Finally there is an overall output level. A footswitch allows you to add the second channel.
CONCLUSION
It sounds impressive. It has an 'authentic tube" sound. It has plenty of headroom so even when totally saturated the real amp sound hangs in and it doesn't become a Fuzz. It is really about a heavy Doom like sound but without sacrificing a tube type vibe.
It sets out to really just one thing really well. It damn well succeeds. Love it!
