Everything has been said, but ...
So it is a specialized analog overdrive for bass.
Connection to a conventional pedal: Enter 'output and external power supply.
Level settings: Level, two-band EQ (bass and treble), too bad there have not ... Medium, balance to vary between the sound of the amp and the processed sound, and finally a gain.
All in the eternal case of a yellow BOSS quite ugly;), it exudes solid, durable.
Simple and effective.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is fairly simple but it took me a while to understand the principle of the knob "Balance".
There are easily a good sound and very well done for the manual in English and French offers sounds well cool!

SOUND QUALITY

Here you get to the big piece: D
This pedal is huge! Really!
I use a Cort Action bass amp and an old Korg ... Transformed!
We can do really everything from small to pure Overdrive Disto-that-hard-the tapestry through the Fuzz. In fiddling, you can approach the sound of Anesthesia Cliff!
It said the Old-School, uh ... Perhaps, but it is equally at home in New Metal.
To say that I was party to take an Ibanez PD7, fortunately there were more in store!

OVERALL OPINION

I squatted for 2 hours as needed I would change my mind later.

Most:
BOSS-style, class and timeless.
Really versatile!
Rather simple-settings.
-Resistant and guaranteed for 5 years!

The -:
Balance-knob not clear at the beginning ...

I had not tried other models before, but I do not think they would have met at this point!
Very good value for money, well worth the money!
With experience and the same budget, the choice I would do without hesitation, but with more Moens, I turn instead to the MXR Blowtorch of ... But I'm really conquered, and I do not change for a long time before Overdrive!
