Trs boss pedals and knobs classic concentric knobs rgl the presence, the medium, bass, treble, level and gain.
There is only one channel, switching from a perfect clean a large overdrive by turning the knob for gain.

UTILIZATION

OVERALL OPINION

It is my first, I do not envy him, I feel it's a PDAL which serves nothing. The clean sound is not transcendent and saturation is synthetic ... Ho hum just a.
