This pedal can soften the sound of an electric acoustic guitar and add the trunk.
This is to overcome the sound a bit cold and sharp as obtained with a piezo.
There are two knobs on the pedal for these two functions:
-BOTTOM: add (or remove, depending on which direction you rotate) trunk
-TOP: to soften (or strengthen) the attack
There is also an anti feedback, chorus and reverb.
It's very easy to use.
The only point where we think it is at least 3 seconds on the back.
The connections for connecting the stereo output to a mixing desk or to use only one exit to the table and the other to an amplifier.
There is also a small volume pot (misplaced in fact, why so little and why it all behind?) To adjust the input volume. Loupiotte a light (on top) when the sound clip.
You can use the pedal on batteries (6 AA batteries) but I've never done (I use a power supply).
One button on / off (rear). It's pretty rare these days to be reported.
UTILIZATION
I use this pedal between a solid body nylon (GODIN ACS-SA) and a mixing desk (EDIROL M-10DX).
I do not use anti-feedback (no need: solid body) so I do not will note this point.
Frankly, it's simple to use.
SOUND QUALITY
I will note first the effects achieved with the knobs Bottom / Top, then the chorus and reverb.
Regarding the knobs Bottom / Top, I find it very persuasive.
There is a very good EQ on my Godin, and multiple options on the mixer, but I feel that the knobs Bottom and Top, are more than just fine in the three-band EQ.
The sound of my solid body actually takes the trunk (it does not hurt him) and I get to break a little cutting edge piezo sound. Better than with the EQ of the guitar or the table.
I can not tell you if formally when all knobs are at zero, it returns to its original ... I doubt it ...
on the other hand, chorus and reverb are downright crados.
Why add these super low-end effects on a pedal at 180 euros?
(Rest assured I paid it secondhand).
The chorus is supposed to be stereo but frankly I am perhaps hard of hearing, but not ... sorry to hear the stereo in there it takes at least 4 pairs of ears ...
Finally, it is not too bad it gives me the possibility to have two exits, so it can be used for the signal splitter ...
The worst thing is that the chorus cutting all the bass to your sound ... what's the point of breaking the Nenets to resolve the BOTTOM when the chorus cuts his grass underfoot?
The reverb is super ugly and digital, as soon as you attack the strings have just heard an old pop in echo.
The score given here emphasizes the Bottom / Top, chorus and reverb is useless gadgets.
OVERALL OPINION
The acoustic guitar preamp pedals are all expensive, very expensive, too expensive (BBE acoustimax, LRbaggs DI, etc ...).
Boss pedals are no exception to the rule.
I recommend this pedal anyway if you want to add some natural sound of your electro-acoustic ...
The result is efficient.
Last point: never used on an electric ... I do not ... This pedal you it will transform your Telecaster Archtop?
