It is a distortion with a grain size fuzzi at the pedal.
Analog and completely with a buffer instead of a bypass. You can think whatever you want of a buffer but there must confess that Pete Cornish knows how to do.

UTILIZATION

No need for manual, branch we play ...
3 knobs, volume, tone, sustain ...

SOUND QUALITY

This is where the magic happens ... I will not say what kind of up there and then frankly we do not care a bit ... especially since Mr Cornish has striven to hide the pcb with an opaque film.
The only thing I can say is that I open, I like to see what is in the pedals. Quality of manufacture flawless, everything is handmade. wiring, welding and assembly. I'm not electronics but I hack suffisement to recognize welding Handmade another machine made ....
This pedal is good all for distortion. fuzzy grain brings something that many others do not is no amp would again ... For all we love this kind of sound ...
As I suppose that those who read this article know why they are there I will not hear me on the history of this pedal Pete Cornish and why did it (Lou Reed and Gilmour ...)
If the question is "can get sound with Gilmour?" The answer is yes. Provided that his guitar, his amp, numerous effects of HP rotary sound PULSE and so on .... Then her fingers!!
Because for once the pedal énomément responded to the attack, if you play with a pick or finger and the volume of the guitar. You can spend the big crunch subtyle distortion. Harmonics also readily apparent.
Anyway it sounds serious! but with microphones simple ... Not that she likes Les Paul double type .... but this kind of pedals responded much better to single coil.
I used a 57 Strat hacked at the élétronique and this is perfect!

OVERALL OPINION

My overall opinion? It is expensive ... very expensive. But without wishing to justify its creator there has been any research work behind this pedal and it pays.
Impeccable build quality. Components excelente qualities. Especially when we know for example that the use of germanium diodes application work in amon pairing if the pedals do not sound all the same way, the result would often means ... and it would soon be a mess! !
In short, in my opinion yes it is expensive and my ears and my eyes yes it is justified. We pay good brand but it is like that .... Then again if it was the only one could blame him .... but hey Apple, Audi ..... etc. ....

I received in October 2012. The delay is a bit long but must be ... From time to time he goes one on Ebay or while on authorized retailer websites ...
I personally went live not pete Cornish, I waited 4 months to pay ... unless of course ... that's dessuite: p

Finally yes I remake this choice since it is the only one in its class.
