Presumably if you're reading this you arrive to find caracs the gear on the TC website. And its instructions and tutorial videos handy.

UTILIZATION

The setup is fairly simple, but it is relatively complete, recess is a little more complicated and slower than a set of effects pedal with all the separate buttons (above the pod HD seems to me still more immediate ).

Reverb, a ton of adjustment is not obvious to understand what they are and it takes the ass pounding fly, but hey, it works in general.

SOUND QUALITY

Effects of superb quality.

OVERALL OPINION

I'll go in my opinion.
Compared to other devices fuller potential levels the sound quality is there, every guitar gives a different result. In addition the machine is really designed to be connected to the input of a guitar amp, and in this context it sounds better than a lot of other things that are sometimes boiled.


Level features gear is really well thought out, there is the essential matérielement it lacks in my opinion nothing major.
What could be more:
- An outlet for switching amp (it's not always easy to implement) if we want to use it in the effects loop it would have been welcome (especially for EMMC bums me quin have not driven swithching pm)
One-(or two) small loops to insert his favorite distortion pedal.
- Obviously a loop to walk four son it would have been great but it is matièrelement longer the same price.

Programing on:
- This is generally not done wrong, the editor would have been a more PC.
- Appoint a preset is a bit long.
- Setting levels require making back and forth between two menus, it's not too boring, but it is not what is best.
- Some effects tend to be set for stereo, mono must be a little careful.
- Great idea to be able to save the effect settings for import into another preset. Basically, the flanger preset that I like, I copy and I glue in my preset.


Sound level can effect all this:
- The effects he did not miss any of my critical sense. And most importantly they sound great property.
- Big Boost for more that is con but it's really a great idea.
- The tap tempo and tuner are there (classqiue but it's still really better with).
- Functioning as set pedal is great. With a small pedal next to the presets for switching is even better, but it takes more space.

On the ease of getting a good sound, or the sound you want:
There is much less obvious, you really become familiar with the action of each setting, watch downloaded presets, to understand the effect of each parameter. Sometimes watching how the phaser was set on a preset, I was surprised I could not set the effect like that for it.
In brief must tame the beast that is not always obvious, it opens in exchange quite a field of possibility.

The distos:
It's not always easy to get the distortion sound you want.
The od and distortion are good qualities are no doubt the grain color is good too, but:
This is a bit light, a big fat fuzz distortion and a big slobbery metallers I still would not spit.
The tone control, I do not know, it's not like a beast SD1. Distos the blows were fast enough you tend to ask parametric equalizer uses, this one is super powerful, but in return it is frankly difficult to resolve.


Basically, this is great stuff, the sound quality is there, ergonomics is correct, but you still manage to tame it.
