suppression buuzz microphones guitars
a switch to select normal and strong level of intervention effect
is the analogue
an input and an output jack 6.35
7.5 volt power supply by transformer supplied
it's tough, it's ehx! Brushed metal shell, you can jump on it without problem (well after that I weighed 60kg ...)
UTILIZATION
for use is simple:
a switch to turn on the classic effect
2-position mini switch to select the degree of suppression of buzz.
we would have preferred a knob qd same story can be determined, there is a little or nothing ...
Manual no help I did not read I do not even know if there is one elsewhere ..
SOUND QUALITY
this is where things get complicated!
I bought this pedal because I play only on single coil guitars (Telecaster, Jazzmaster, Danelectro) and always with a big crunch or even a good fat hi gain distortion pr tv.
I say eureka! finished the infernal buzz microphones in repeats and saturated sounds I would win in clarity!
let's be clear: this pedal is not made for that. Let me explain:
with a big crunch, the "normal" still happening, it in effect removes the buzz, but there are residues of a signal quite nasty. if I pass in "strong" that is supposed to completely eliminate the buzz that is going bad. The buzz disappears indeed but the sound is distorted. A small but very very very very unpleasant reverb occurs (such as "I play in my toilets tiled from top to bottom). So there is not great, it's very Legernes, but leaves no longer have that buzz, both maintain a clean signal.
Saturated mode (distortion, overdrive fuzz, any pedal or amplifier channel with gain at least half> I did the tests) is the catalytic bin there (in "normal" as in "strong "). The reverb is not very light but actually completely there. That said it could be interesting because the reverb is ultra short, it sounds a bit like a ring modulator, some perhaps its stride but it must be noted that this is not what is asked.
In fact it does not work very well with clean sounds or light crunch. And suddenly it's practical to record guitars with the mic stuck to HP and have a clean track from beginning to end of the socket.
OVERALL OPINION
Ultimately I was very disappointed by this announcement as a "miracle product" and the EHX brand, which I love and I have a dozen effects that have always filled. I thought he did not care a bit about us over here.
I put 5 / 10 because it makes qd even half of the job and can not deny the quality of the material stuff is pretty solid.
A little boring as the transformer in 7.5, which adds a power supply on the pedal board (for those like me who lugs around a swarm of pedals ...) and does not connect it via a string like the others. And it is increasingly recurrent in EHX.
I advise qd even those who play with sounds cleans or those seeking sounds a bit strange (but for the price> 110 eur new! As a good buy or a good reverb ring modulator!). Value for money just so abused.
I bought used in August 2009 and I sold it, for the fans.
I do not have that choice referrer. the limited opportunities for a pittance to use it on record for cleans sounds ...
