drapeau_rouge « Really excellent »
Published on 03/07/14 at 14:16The Dirt Transmitter is a fuzz pedal built around transistors germaniums and Silicone. It is always the duel between the two kinds of transistors in all fuzz pedals, with some preferring the sound germanium, else its silicone. Here, not jealous!
The pedal has 4 knobs: Traditional Volume / Gain / Tone knob and a "Bias" which allows you to play on the "stability" of the effect, but I'll come back later.
An inlet, an outlet, a plug for 9V and basta.
Without revolutionizing the world of fuzz, Earthquaker Devices sign a simple, clear pedal and manufacture (casing, screen) ultra careful, consistent quality for this manufacturer. The foot is the size of a MXR therefore rather small, which is an undeniable advantage in pedalboard provided.
UTILIZATION
The usage is quite simple but it should still be noted that the item "non-operating" the bias knob, that is to say, the position where it occurs absolutely not, is located at 2:00, a Slightly more than half.
SOUND QUALITY
I must admit that the Dirt Transmitter is really excellent. Despite limited versatility, she does little but it does really well!
To me, his areas of expertise are the riffs and solos of "vintage" field. It's simple, I managed to get the sound of "Satisfaction" by the Stones, the sound on the David Gilmour's solo song "Time" or more sounds used by the Queen of the Stone Age for you Locate a little ... All good!
The knob "bias" adds a real trick to the pedal, to generate sounds "velcro" completely barred. Then the sound literally tears the HP when you play notes while a dead silence is heard (or not for that matter) between each note as if a noise gate was installed ... Very musical and very inspiring !
OVERALL OPINION
I am not versed in ultra fuzz, however I own / have owned four: Electro-Harmonix Double Muff (preserved), Death by Audio Supersonic Fuzz Gun (sold), the Fulltone Soul Bender (recovery by store) Earthquaker Devices Hoof and Fuzz (preserved).
The Dirt Transmitter is a great fuzz that I can not do without in the future. They really take a vintage dimension riffs or solos! And originality, just put the knob "bias" minimum and here I am with a velcro fuzz the most beautiful effect. A great success and a huge blow of heart!
The Dirt Transmitter does not leave my pedalboard like his sis, the Hoof Fuzz I reserve rhythmic and as a boost to single coil. The two complement each other perfectly! I would do 100 times this choice and also if I had done it before, it would have saved me buying a Supersonic Fuzz Gun and Soul Bender ...
