The Micro Amp is a booster / preamp, analog technology.
The pedals can rhausser the guitar signal to 15dB max.

Rglage a single gain, to adjust the boost level desired.

Trssrieuse design and robust, a 3PDT true bypass switch.

UTILIZATION

2 uses for two tendon ducts possible:

>> Branch faade in between the guitar and the amp (before preamp)
- Clean channel: volume and input gain, the amplifier Tendera crunchiser
- Channel crunch / od: input gain, increased volume and lightweight gnrale
- Distortion channel: input gain
The intrt here is sort of going beyond the maximum position of the volume knob on the guitar (more gain and / or volume)!

>> Branch in the effects loop of the amp:
- Contribution of volume gnrale on all channels, the trend crunchisation the clean channel.
The stroke of the gain knob is progressive, and pass the 3 / 4 of the travel of knob, the boost is pronounced trs. The zero-point of the race is its your departure.

SOUND QUALITY

Transparency! Full compliance with the sound of the amp. Transparency 95%, 5% high mdiums apprciables.
Rather, I see the M133 ( http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/5285/mxrm133001db4.jpg ) as an accessory rather than an effect itself, because ultimately it's like adding a deuxime mode on channels of the amp, it broadens the pannel winning this one.
Other purposes: to adjust the output level between different guitars / pickups on a same amp, a lot of guitarists use it also to boost a solo.
I read it was used as a buffer: it lowers the impdance. Information vrifier ...

The sound quality is the hardware used with the Micro Amp.

OVERALL OPINION

Used among others by the scratch of The Strokes, Jack White of White Stripes and Adam Jones of Tool, I ask them their opinion on occasion.

Most
