Booster + overdrive

UTILIZATION

Four knobs: Volume, Gain, Treble, Bass with center detent for treble and bass for a dpart without correction. True bypass and power supply 9 volt.
The case is small but tough with four half-sphre silicone underneath to avoid the slide to dclenchement.

SOUND QUALITY

Now that prsentations are made, that there could!
LAKE Booster using both real and boost doverdrive, jai test both configurations.

In boost (gain ZrO)
First use of boost volume without correction (treble and bass on the central screen): the boost is effective but with a contribution in the low and low mdiums. For those who want a boost trs transparent (no color of its base), it is better disorientation on the RC booster made for that.
Now by changing lqualisation, there dentrelefficacit of treble and bass knobs and also lutil two knobs from one tone knob (or Plexitone OCD).
Corrections can be lgres trs pronounce but still trs EXAGRES especially dynamic and musical, particularly at low o with the same knob is the low background always full and not fluffy at all.
Also nice boost in use on another OCD overdrive pedals for example. As Marshall IDTS trs type, we can send a good rhythm pchue with acute desire and lead to correct lqualisation and even add gain. Guaranteed effect!

In overdrive:
OCD with a dj, and a Tube Screamer Plexitone dpoque, I tried one more grain and has diffrent, cest russi. LAKE dlivre a more typical blues overdrive as OECD or the TS9 (especially with P90), the gain range as far more progressive. The possibilities in terms of color are much larger because of rglages treble, bass pedals on non Submitted cites (and for most overdrives dailleurs).
Attention with a Les Paul, fast gain trs Exceeds the field of blues to the most extensive rock trs but without going to the same when mtal.
Another particularity trs diffrent other overdrives, the capacity to obtain a clear lgrement crunch ds the volume knob of scratching is below 7 and can send sauce right time and that even with large gain levels. Not comparable to the OECD cot o it is difficult to find the right balance by adjusting the volume of the guitar.
Dernirement, APRS seeing Scorsese's Shine a Light on the Stones, jai made some tests with Strato in G and! It redcouvre the true sense of the word Crunch! The real crusty wish! Brown Sugar Jumping Jack Flash via start me up and honky tonk woman, it is taken so quickly to Keith Richards is the sound! : D

OVERALL OPINION

In conclusion, the AC boost is done all my expectations (ie a more typical blues although OECD) and the quality is really! Is obtained quickly for the Robben Ford enthusiasts matrebon APRS takes a little finger to go with! ;
Also, bought 185 dollars or 140 euros in Musictoyz report quality price is right!
For that indcis hsitent between OCD (jai version 4) and AC booster cest simple OECD is well-typed and LAC Marshall booster, I think his is more typ Yank (although Quac either AC30 priori?).
For those who want a more transparent boost, you should take the RC booster because lAC colors the sound by adding a hair mdium and bass.
on the other hand for those with a TS9 in hsitent SERIES (the same and other blues aficionados SRV), Bah! The picture is not! Cest quil AC you need!
