  Characteristics

  Tube saturation pedal (2 ECC83) number 633
  
  handmade, heavy and very solid
  
  Three-button tone output gain
  
  Japan (110v) converter works with a 220 -> 110V, which also serves as a ground lift (bye bye and hum hum ...)

  Utilization

  Very easy to use, the sound is excellent whatever the setting.
  
  No manual (to OCCAZ), but not necessary I think

  Sounds

  Connected to Blackface Fender bassman 67 '(and celestion Blackback gm25 tubes and NOS) and Les Paul Standard DC, R9 or Start.
  
  with this pedal, you get a unique sound and a few variations of tone. But it remains focused on his Soldano. And what a tone! Whatever the saturation rate, the sound is dynamic, warm, husky, with a superb sustain, very accurate and balanced.
  
  It can range from mild crunch and hard (crying sound) to hard rock while you eat cru.Excellente definition of notes and chords typical Soldano whatever the level of earnings. Using the guitar volume knob turns out interesting to get a clearer sound (always with that beautiful tone). Used with an equalizer in pre or post, it opens a range of its largest.
  
  I do not know if it's based on the SLO lead channel or not, but honestly, it's really a very good job.
  
  The v twin is very pale figure next question tone and grain.

  Overall Opinion

  Pros: what a sound!
  
  Cons: a little impressive nonetheless.
  
  
  
  Like so much I have gained a second in backup ...

  Characteristics

  PDAL saturation lamps.
  
  The lamps are the original JJ Tesla ECC83 S (there are 2)
  
  The pedals are large enough (length: 27cm, width 17cm, height 10cm with buffers)
  
  Manufacturing and components are of good quality trs. It's solid!
  
  
  
  CONTRL 3: GAIN, TONE and OUTPUT
  
  Between 1 and 1 output
  
  A switch ON / OFF
  
  Direct supply of 220V with fuse. Good point!
  
  Conform EC.
  
  
  
  No, really it all! 10/10.

  Utilization

  No need for manual ...
  
  We quickly made the rounds of rglages. The PDAL is a bit cumbersome I got. The buttons are not a lgance extreme, but they are clean and breathe the srieux ...
  
  
  
  The pedals are not made to replace a prampli ... in the sense that the chanage: Guitar -> GTO -> power amp -> speakers, is not the most flattering.
  
  The pedals performs well with a chanage: Guitar -> GTO -> preamp -> power amp -> speakers.
  
  Without prampli, the sound is not really usable ... the diffrence between the two correspond obtained using an exit Recording plutt a MAIN output TriAxis an example ... the sound is not "natural", it is starved of tufts and prsence ...
  
  
  
  But all APRS! PDAL is one! So for pedals: 10/10!

  Sounds

  The rglage seems to be the most efficient gain and volume.
  
  SETTING THE TONE The does not propose radical change ... a little above the feeble ...
  
  The PDAL has less gain than channel 3 of CAA 3 + SE, or the red lead of a TriAxis.
  
  
  
  We find the nice grain Soldano. It would be a well liked SETTING THE mdium and bass as well ... could provide greater diversity of sound. Soldano chosen to provide a basic quality quilisation course, but rather fixed. Nevertheless, the use or supported in rhythmic crunch or lead to rvelle well made. Likewise, if I personally prfre the grain of the MAXON ROD881.

  Overall Opinion

  Most <ul> The quality components and manufacturing
  
  A report qualitprix acceptable (about 500 AudioTubeTech) </ul>
  
  The - <ul> A SETTING THE mdiums low and could have more room ... </ul>
  
  I will not go that choice, because my preferences is the MAXON ROD881, which is two times less expensive, more possibilities and especially a grain that suits me better.
  
  
  
  Go! 7 even when everything else!
