Published on 06/19/13 at 06:21A good tite hybrid Germanium Fuzz pedal / Silicon.
Input Jack Mono / Mono Output Jack
9V power supply jack
9-volt battery compartment
UTILIZATION
4 Knobs:
Volume: to adjust the overall output level, without affecting or "distort" the Fuzz created by the pedal.
Fuzz: turn clockwise clockwise to increase the effect.
A pair Tone / Shift.
The "Tone" works more or less like the tone knob on a guitar. The "Shift" to adjust the midrange more precisely, it is based on "Tone".
One branch, it locks the footswitch is adjusted and plays, it's easy!
SOUND QUALITY
The pedal recreates the sound of the Big Muff green "Sovtek".
I use it with my Variax 500 in position and soon Les Paul Guitar with SR type Les Paul also. I'm plugged into a Vox AC15 amp lamps.
The sound is pleasantly greasy and gritty, especially when the knobs "Tone" and "Shift" turned left.
The pedal has a slight fuzz when it is triggered, like a strong overdrive, even if the fuzz knob is turned down. The more you turn the magic button, the fuzz is more powerful and vibrant!
The sound palette is wide. You can easily spend a good heavy fuzz and inflated to a "tighter" and rich midrange, close to the classic fuzz distortion.
The volume knob adjusts the level without altering the fuzz effect. This helps address the preamp correctly and have more flexibility in settings to avoid having such a difference in level when switching the effect or, conversely, to have a reserve at power gain of the pedal.
The sound is pleasantly fat and creamy, recalling the fuzz effect used by Stipes White or Black Keys.
Sustain it brings is monstrous!
However, it is less oily than other pedals I've tried hair, delivers a bit more midrange and thus allows for a little more out of the mix.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for three weeks and I am delighted.
Originally, I was looking for a cheap pedal to get closer to the sound era Mick Ronson and David Bowie "The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars" (Tonebender MK1) or Sripes White, Black Keys ... but I wanted to still be able to have a more modern and less typical sound.
I tried a few other pedals like the traditional Big Muff Electroharmonix, The Triangle Muff MOOER, The Germanium OD of Electroharmonix the ProCoRat ... but without conviction.
Then I tried the little golden box store and I literally hooked! It was out of my budget but I do not regret having paid the price in a pedal that I waited a long time and that brings me satisfaction.
The only semi-flat that I could to make my choice is that I have since discovered other pedals brand and the "Dirt Transmission" could be more dirty and creamy yet, where Hoof is more rich medium. But this is the other side a large advantage to highlight the group or highlight solis. (And only a matter of personal taste and not of the high quality of this pedal).
The real downside is its price on the other hand. Around € 200, it's expensive. It was definitely worth it, but ...
