UTILIZATION

Setup is simple, it's old school so no menu, only direct access, no need for manual ... Note that the output is stereo chorus because of the class!
In fact, it's like the pedals combined with a single power supply ...

SOUND QUALITY

I love but not low, it colors the sound too much, I prefer a Carl Martin Compressor and TimeFactor why.
In fact, I use it only with synths, and especially my SE 1 for vintage color!
The compressor is to be determined subtly, but at least it is versatile. The EQ is very good and effective, delay sounds good especially slapback, and the chorus is stereo rather versatile.
It only needs a distortion, a phaser and a reverb!

OVERALL OPINION

Many people looking for a sound effect to smear their VA or analog too clean, pue5b serves me that! Dirty might not be the word, rather coloring moreover, it is neither the distortion nor bitcrusher ...
Note that it is fairly flat, compact, to compare with Ibanez ue 400 and more!
I had it repaired several times for the switches and the output contacts were fake, but I attribute that to his age, no worries.
Should let me, I'd be bored ...
