Saturation analog pedals.
Manufacturing: beginners anne 80
Plastic housing
3potentiomtres: Vol, Tone and Distortion

UTILIZATION

Use could not be more simple, you press and it works right now do not need the manual!

Use to add a drive channel of my amp

Use with 9v battery or transformer type Boss. The opening for the battery is the same type of opening than Boss!

SOUND QUALITY

For beginners this chapter "A Quality Sound", I would like pedals that I compare this with a Boss SD-2!

OFF mode (guitar amp branch via the pedals tint), no loss of the original sound of the guitar (can be a very small loss of acute), the bypass (even if they don ' is not true bypass), is...…

PDAL Car: while l. ... Wouaooooo, the pedals is monstrous! really
I made a friend try studio guitarist, and now he wants 1.The problem is that it is no longer and must be patient to find one of opportunity!

Try a Lespaul. The saturation of the pedals is: warm, rich. With a full roundness.
For me, it has a typical saturation more vintage than the SD-2 has a more modern sound a bit cold and my taste!

OVERALL OPINION

Well, this little pedals is GORGEOUS!

If you find one used, Do not hesitate!

3 settings for this distortion, the classic volume, distortion, tone.
Case type Boss, sturdy but less well for Inrush foot because too much travel.
PSU 9v classic. € 40 bought used 2 years ago.

UTILIZATION

No problem setting, there is one that goes well, and a single. Otherwise, Intrets is that the settings are not only nuances, they are very effective for those who are still looking and still sound original.
So a single tone control is ok, it is between 11am and noon, is accurate because there is a space of 2 or 3 mm that moves its not bad. The rest is pretty ugly or a very special action, either acidic or too dark. Otherwise, good tuning, the distortion is far, far right,...…

the volume depends on the amp and guitar and the level of distortion can be strong without seeming rude default. For use with all it's a distortion without much flavor without too much character, the grain is fine enough, smooth, clinical, transistorized. In short, it's not great but it does it anyway for a laugh or rock FM home in varying styles.

SOUND QUALITY

I use it little, it is very typical 80's. I prefer the distortion / fuzz / OD that have character, reacting to the nuances that make a rattling or magnitude, a relief, a little juice. Here is fairly smooth and flat even if the power is there. It's a style that can love, but an acoustic point of view, dynamic, that means. Setting of 1 is not that bad but we know we can have much more in this style (DS1 boss for example).

OVERALL OPINION

Paid 40 euros hand, it is not worth more, it's almost the same price for the pleasure given. I bought it for the brand, but Tokai have me disappointed on this one then. So beware of versions of the TDS-1 if I believe other reviews! What puzzles me because the pedals were never really famous.
