Distortion pedal / preamp, True Bypass, 4 knobs: Gain / Volume / Treble / Bass, Case indestructible metal (for the 4 against anti-slip pads pedal sounds themselves off fast enough, the detail is minimal but the price the craft is still painful)
UTILIZATION
Nothing too complicated ...
SOUND QUALITY
I use it with a Jazz bass to add a very slight distortion and give a little more character to my sound. And I just found that the grain of this distortion is rather typical. I play bass amps on different functions of rehearsal studios I frequent, and every time I come to find "my sound" when I turn the volume pot of barely winning.
It does not cause loss in the low frequencies and relatively well preserved attack
I have rarely in the utility but I love the sound when I push the gain to get a true distortion on my bass is fat enough but it's still pretty accurate.
The 2 knobs for EQ are not there for decoration and are handy for adjusting the sound.
Which is a shame is that there have not a knob that allows her to mix clean / distorted sound. Few offer the pedals so I find it a useful, especially on a bass.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a year, and when I play without (which is very rare), I find that my sound is bland.
I tried a bunch of distortion before finding this one and none satisfied me. Then when I tested it, I immediately recognized the sound I was looking only at a price that's significant since about 210 € (!!), ok it's good bill but it remains a distortion pedal, so this seems a bit excessive price ... So, despite the "blow of heart" I took a time of reflection and tried again the other more affordable models before finally buying it.
A year later I am still very pleased with this acquisition, my bass sound is much more interesting than before, it's expensive but high quality material with a particular color. I probably would do that choice.
