Flexible and affordable Rat clone
I wanted a Rat pedal for some time and was plowing through some different options. I chose the Magus pro mainly for the additional two modes and affordability. Also in classic mode the gain knob seems to work a bit better in the lower gain area, so you can quite easily get some lower gain drive sounds. SO yeah, quite a lot of flexibility in this small pedal!
We also tested it with my friend's Behringer TD3, which is a 303 clone and it sounded awesome! So now he wants to get this pedal too.

Very versatile distortion
This is not an exact copy of a Rat pedal, but it gets you there if you fiddle with it. Main reason it is not "drop on your face" rat copy, is that this is much more versatile. If you want a decent distortion with many sounds inside, this is for you. Filter knob does magic and the Type of distortion switch is also very useful. Adds a lot to the choice to the tone. And for this price? Seriously? It is phenomenal for me to think that someone can build this so cheap, considering the retail price, factory cost must be ~10-13Eur. TC Electronic gear is fantastic for what they sell it for (I've got Delay, Reverb - had a few overdrives as well. All very, very decent pedals).
Build quality is flawless - the construction is all metal. Very rugged. It is super, super small as well - about 1/5 smaller than a Nano big muff. It will fit any pedalboard.
The availability is not great - I ordered it ~6 months ago and received just now. Not a deal breaker for me, but if it is out of stock, you could be waiting for months.

As good as any RAT
Works well, is versatile and honestly: I think most people couldn't distinguish this one from some higher-end boutique rat clones. Great value.

Gain as I like it
Well not a lot to say really except WOW loud and does what it says on the pedal"it hives you GAIN and a lot of it too" 3 knobs and a cluck switch for giving you 3 different sound ,fat,classic or turbo, the knobs give you full control over the pedal, gain give you what it says(and it is a great metal gain) volume and a filter knob to yes filter the gain a little, try it out it won't let you down,it comes as a metal pedal and it's a metal casing built like a tank.

Great versatile Rat style pedal
Really impressed with the quality and flexibility of the pedal. From a clean crunch for funky chord work to high distortion - would recommend to all. 3 Modes forbtjis price is unbeatable. Delivery was quick and reliable as always.

Very versatile distortion
I bought this as a rat clone and it does that like the original but with much less unwanted noise. Apart from that it has the fat sound which boosts the low mids/bass. The turbo sounds a bit like a tube screamer type distortion on steroids and then some. Turning the knobs makes a huge difference with the sound. Typical TC electronic quality so I see no issues there hopefully.

Very usable pedal, lots of the classic RAT style tones all in one place. Very solid construction. Small footprint on the pedal board. Top mounted jacks is a nice plus. Worth the small extra cost over other similar pedals.
