Captain Danny « Overdrive's Synthetic »
Published on 04/24/12 at 04:36
Value For Money :
Excellent
Overdrive / Distortion analog, non-editable, connectors Standard Boss (jack in and out). Not true bypass.
UTILIZATION
Very simple configuration: 2-band EQ (very effective: Bass and Treble), a Drive to manage the distortion level, a Level for the output volume and mix to manage the mix between Dry and Twisting. The manual is clear and more than adequate, yet not need a novel ... We quickly found the sounds of interest (as long as we want to sound synthetic).
SOUND QUALITY
Indeed very effective, many bands of EQ and gain very active, but synthetic sounds, if you want sound organic typed stoner, tube-like overdrive or vintage, go your way. I use it with a Fender P-Bass Standard V and an OLP Stingray U.S., both are passive but I also used an Ibanez ICB 300 EX Icebass active, the pedal supports all without flinching but renders evil personality an instrument (even the CBI that a very, very large volume of output). The sounds are cool, but synthetic surgical and easily controllable. for many this coldness is a disadvantage, in fact, everything depends on what you want: I played in electro formations where it works wonders in order to reproduce well saturated fat synths, I send him the SYB-5 story to thicken and distort the synthesized sounds while keeping in mind cold and heavy electro sounds. I use it to grow then my other overdrive and give more definition to my fuzz (TS9B Ibanez and MXR El Grande Bass Fuzz) by placing it before (it sounds monstrous gain in the forward half an El Grande Bass Fuzz pushed background for example).
OVERALL OPINION
This was my first bass effect, I've had 3/4 years see, actually I do not even remember when I bought it. I love the sounds of surgical distortion and cold but not enough to play what I play for the heat (sounds hard rock, stoner rock, classic rock, etc. ..) I have to go through my TS9B or my MXR. Clearly it is not only versatile and am using that in the register electro / nu metal or disco by thickening TS9B or better defining the MXR. The value for money is good in my opinion. And I would do this choice because I'm a fan of Overdrives on low and can not be said to be worse than the TS9B example, it just sounds differently, in another spirit and another grain. If you are fans of Overdrives and want to have the maximum opportunity of grains and colors, you need it for your sounds cold and precise.
