This is a Slow Gear, that is a pedal that the attack gum of the note played. An IN OUT and a power socket type Boss

UTILIZATION

Setup is simple: Speed ​​button allows you to manage the rise time of the note when played, and the button Threshold determines the level at which the pedal comes in (by keeping the cleat, the pedal n ' into action after an attack on "powerful")

SOUND QUALITY

Nothing to say in terms of sound quality. The bypass is good, and once activated, the sound of the instrument is not distorted. It acts as a volume pedal, which would be mounted automatically. on the other hand, by setting the Threshold to the bottom means a small buzzing sound as played decreases ...

OVERALL OPINION

This effect is really interesting but very difficult to handle.
Personally, I use it primarily for creating webs. Associated with a good chorus and delay long enough, it can do wonders. Now, if you do not play "clean", the effect can become unmanageable: it is necessary to create a pause between each agree that the system "understands" a (e) new (the) agreement / note will be played ( e) and therefore need to erase the attack. If we play a complete sentence fast enough and especially not between the white notes, the pedal will erase the attack on the first note and not following. That said, this "limit" can also be closer to phrasing typical of Bill Frisell, which personally I like enough ;-)
So far, I used an Ernie Ball volume pedal, the quality is excellent, so-by the way, but I prefer this Guyatone for reasons of weight and space on the pedalboard. And playing, I have trouble managing my two hands. Here at least I think so at my feet. J'enclenche and I play ;-)
For cons, the price is quite high, and I'm not sure I do it again this choice, since our favorite German pumper has released version. To see.
