Overdrive pedal sensible simulate two types of amplifier, "US" and British crunch up the sound of a saturated tube type.
Easy connection, IN / OUT and external 9V power supply
Put into operation and a true "bypass" (real!)
UTILIZATION
Configuration quite simple but original design, however.
LEVEL 1 (output)
1 knob to drive with a focus on the one hand the "grain" Us and the other sound "British", the more turns in one direction or the other or saturates gradually.
1 knob "bass"
Knob 1 "treble"
The operation is quite simple, four knobs, one quickly finds the desired sound.
SOUND QUALITY
The sound is really bleuffant (as his colleague "COOL DRIVE"), excellent quality, the sound of red-hot tubes.
One annoying point (maybe this is about my hardware config): it happens very quickly (too) fast in sounds already saturated, the margin of play to "crunch" is very low, it is clear that we can hardly be used to boost a signal.
For example, if you visit the site www.artecsound.com, you can hear slight crunch (first sample) ... personally can not get there, perplexed ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for two weeks, I love the sound quality, emulation lamp is excellent regardless of the guitar (Telecaster, Stratocaster, Humbucker ...) in an all-tube amp.
What I was a little disappointed this lack of progressivity in the knob to drive.
I already have the "cool drive" and I bought this model to complete my range of sounds (ie, by the way, they are a gross similarity in the grain, both feature the same electronic circuit! )
Unbeatable value for money.
Repeat this choice, I do not know. But I do not regret it either.
All in all the "Cool Drive" is malleable.
These overdrive pedals deliver a high quality, beautiful grain really "hit".
