They do take a while to dial in but once you get your sound they get the job done.
it has never worked for me much either, but when you got endorsees like john petrucci who are known for using a bit o tubescreamer it makes the young'ns cream at the shorts and have to do it as well, but as usual it gets taken a bit to far.

i have actually used a gain pedal in front of a boogie w it on a clean channel just to get a different type of gain out of it. w the right pedal it can work very well.
