Two effects are currently available: Red and Classic Fuzz Screamer.
The Red Fuzz is a replica of the Dallas Arbiter of 1966. Three components are proposed to "customize" your pedal: AC 128 (the sound of Hendrix), Mullard OC75 (more acidic) and Mullard OC44 (a variant of the above). Nothing but beautiful world!
It is almost insulting to have to clarify that it is analog. So no USB interface with database Rack Midi via a scart lead. Input / Output, that's all folks!
Beware, however. This pedal only eats 9V batteries. Why? Just because the fuzz is generated by the electrical signal. Sends an electric battery power only by "intermittently" (sometimes the signal is strong, sometimes it is low). This is so that at times it seems that the sound crackles and cuts (especially in the bass).
UTILIZATION
Two knobs: Volume and Fuzz. Does it develop?
SOUND QUALITY
After looking at the manufacturer, I opted for the AC 128. And then my friends slap LA. "Back to the sixties in the Swinging London".
My Telecaster still can not, but when I plugged my SG ('67 Reissue with P90)
ouch, ouch, ouch ... To get a clearer sound replay WildThing who you know, the live at Monterey. Then, connect the Red Fuzz ... all the same. Of course this pedal to better performance at high volume.
For the settings I put the two knobs to 75%, and I only use the clean channel of the Peavey Classic 30. The volume knob is adjusted according to that of your amp. But even the fuzz at the bottom, there is always this well rounded, thick, which does not bleed. The agreements open the tetrads are welcome.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it only for a week, but I won. So, I bought the Classic Screamer (see my review this poduit in these pages. If you are interested of course).
If you like the sound "was better before", that's all right. For others, I guarantee you a jump in time but not in quality manufacturing. Everything is carefully machined. In addition Benrod people (hello to Rudolph) are very friendly.
I recommend this pedal to anyone who wants to relive in their own way, the magic of those years have written the most pages in the history of rock, and gave us one day, want to be like.
All this comes in the box with the pedal, no extra charge: 120 € TTC. Prices generally found in all good dairies.
