Pedal psychoacoustic effect divided into two section: Aural Exciter and Big Bottom.
- 4 knobs (one to adjust the frequency range impacted by the effect, for a mix of fact, for each section): 30 to 210 Hz for the Big Bottom, and between 500 and 5000 Hz for 'Aural Exciter.
- Input and output jack unbalanced 6.35
- Switch entry level instrument for active (high, max 2.4 V) or passive (low 0.6V max).
- XLR DI output 150 micro ohms.
- Switch to bypass or activate the ground (to avoid hum) for the XLR.
- Switch wet (no effect) or dry (effective) for the DI output.
- Taking alim '9 volts (battery can be used, it is in the closed case with 4 screws). The pedal can operate between 5 and 12 volts AC and 7 and 17 volts DC (I tried with various power supply ', the 9v DC brings the least amount of hum with my pretty alim' regulated). Boring details: Aphex on both I, the cord is the 9v Line 6 (barrel wider than the rest of the prod ', used by Line 6, Digitech Whammy for, and for the Aphex). 5mA.
- Switch on / off in true bypass!

UTILIZATION

Simple as all, as stupid as cabbage, playing with the knobs until you find happiness!

SOUND QUALITY

I am no longer that of computer music ...
I use it with a small Warwick Double Buck $ $ (MEC active pickups and electronics), an Ampeg SVP-Pro preamp, all on a small Yamaha mixing desk, and shoo all in Cubase.
The sound? B'en there, slap!
It really happens to a sculptured his formiveilleux:

The Big Bottom adds an unexpected depth and dynamics of the same adjective. In short, it is simply amazing!

More mixed results on the Aural Exciter: in small doses, it goes well, there was greater clarity in the sound. By pushing a little sadly, and predictably, he adds the breath, where the Big Bottom is very clean.

I do not think it would help me bagpipes, I bought "to show" (yeah, I cracked wheat at that time). And also for his ID.

DI for the part, in the end, I use it (it also adds a bit of breath in my opinion).

Come on, a sample chtit (http://jacksonfreak.free.fr/audio/test_aphex_01.mp3) to the hard biniou (Part 1 Bypass, part in the Big Bottom Aural Exciter and 7 to 4). To listen with headphones or speakers too pourrites

OVERALL OPINION

I have a few months. DI bought for her and a big curiosity, I do not spend more of Big Bottom (and I do not use the DI).
Damage, the light breath of Aural (I'm really finicky with that, especially at this price). -1
Damage, the DI, not exceptional (it's not what a Palmer PGA ...). -1
Too bad too, the price quite high. -1
But it's totally addictive when it was!
