«  Worse than the current deluxe reverb, a perf ... »

Purchased from okaz for 50roros, according to its quality should be 20 euros new in fact.

The idea was to use it as a preamp or power amp loop on paper more reverb eq preamp was more attractive to a format as nice without menus and co.

The battery compartment is too tight to put a 9v battery, not serious since the conso consistent we will use a transformer.

I tried it before in the 63 series reverb and it's really not the same type of sound quality.

UTILIZATION

It is easy to agree, but once we found that the reverb is right away plocs absolutely undesirable and unpleasant even to 8hrs ...
the gain setting goes from inaudible to dirty without a clean state ...
the equalizer type vox, namely the treble when you are going up the bass and vice versa ...
the tremolo is not triggered at the foot ...

in fact it is very complicated, it will never actually.

Another oddity, this pedal reacts differently to the material to which it is connected in a loop return marshmal head it does not sizzle but that power in a bandit today is good. Powermixer it goes on of course, but before kustom defender limit is 5 level issue.

Anyway ...

SOUND QUALITY

The sound that comes out of this box is weird, cold and dark / metallic bleak.
The only case was fair or what was in the input power in a bandit today.
Out of curiosity I set up a digitech RP70 pti as the boss, and the difference in sound quality is downright sidereal.

It's simple, I think I've never had a worse product between the legs in recent years.

OVERALL OPINION

Well, the amp is supposed to emulate it is poor in its current execution (no matter how built, cheap to possible) and abysmal in its price / quality ratio, but still, it was not worth doing as bad Mr. Boss!

Out on the amp up comparing huh ...

What I do not understand is the fundamental failure of equalization (when you put on the fender deluxe bass treble does camp do not care ...) and reverb (plops the afternoon c 'would have been cool, but not permanently).
As already mentioned we will not throw the baby out with the bathwater, boss pedal '63 spring reverb sounds great, we'll say that boss has just picked up serious on this one.
