It's a good old analog effects pedals plutt compact (70 * 115 * 35) trs well finished and looks plutt solid. It can be powered by a 9V battery, phantom power if it possesses an EBS amplifier and a power adapter that is not given (30 euros).

UTILIZATION

The configurationgnrale is ultra simple. There is a two potentiomtres rgler to the level at which the effect will dclencher (treshold) and one for rgler the time to onset of effect (attack). This time limit can vary between 50ms and 2s. There is also a switch to choose between the three following filters:
Hi-Q is a kind of autowah, the scan will FITRE frquences the lowest to the highest and again
Up is the effect of a classical style MuTron envellope filter, the filter scans the frequencies of the lowest to the highest (effective opening of the filter
Down the filter will scan the frequencies of the highest to the lowest (exit effect of the filter)

The English manual is clear and trs given the limited available rglage was quickly understood the operation of the bte

SOUND QUALITY

I play with a Sterling and all the effects are used IMMEDIATE. The simple configuration allows you to quickly find the sound research. the apparent simplicity hides trs varied sonic possibilities. Can be obtained thanks to the filter Hi-Q sound of classic auto-wah sounds, but also much more funky and complex.
Up Filter allows you to find the sound of Bootsy Collins and himself as a king of funk and slap in 5 min. Down the filter is the least empty manage because it has a significant impact on the dynamics of your sound FITRE the closing and reducing the volume quickly if one dose not attack well but proves to be trs original interresssant once masters.
Sound clips are available on the BSE but does not realize I find more things, but allow any time to get an ide. <ul>

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month and following conquered by its simplicity and efficiency. Common to all the filter envelope, the effect is trs "alive", it is your trsdpendant fawn playing. We must therefore learn to control it and this is done, you will have gold in your fingers.
I tried also the range in Q-Tron Electro-Harmonix also trs that sounds good. But I think that is imple BASSIQ job thanks rglages its limits without losing cele "versatility." I think it also causes less problems of dynamics, the volume substantially the same as when the effect is activated or not. It is also less bulky
The report quality price seems trs correct and I would do without any concern that choice.
