See below ...
(I do not note, the pedal is as it is, if I wanted anything I would have bought something else)
UTILIZATION
No particular difficulty is a Boss brand loyal.
Problem: it is impossible to have a clear if you did use the reverb and / or the tremolo, it is imperative that the gain setting is not zero if its not! So we must of distortion. One dose level playing subtle distortion between the Gain and Level knobs not to mention the volume on the guitar, these three settings interfere.
SOUND QUALITY
Want to get here for a Deluxe Reverb is inflated anyway. We are far, far away from his "Fender". On the contrary, the receiver for which I bought this pedal has a sound entirely clear and slamming, and much the FDR-1 gum attacks and shine, it's anti-Fender!
I quite like the simulation, no breath, a nice crunch texture.
Tremolo and reverb are acceptable if you have a light hand. For reverb, 9am knob past is the cartoon (my Holly Grail is 100 times better). The same applies to the tremolo, not to exceed 10.
Settings bass / treble correct.
Tried it with several guitars and amps. The disto respects quite well the character of each guitar and each microphone but does not contribute to a quality amp.
It really does not get the sound for which we try to pass it but I understand that the sounds it produces can agree, they are not inherently bad, it's a good point.
OVERALL OPINION
I bought the Boss FDR-1 to give the grain and some air in my little amp Electro Harmonix Freedom Amp only clear and why it does its job quite well. I had a lot of amp simulation (V-Amp, Zoom Gxx, Pandora ...) all go wrong with this amp, they generate a lot of breath "digital" I can not stand, not the problem with this pedal, well done the simulation COSM.
This pedal is well associated with a clear, flat amp which can give a bit of personality.
This pedal is not a wonder but it suits me since I am not naive enough to believe that it will replace a Deluxe Reverb, it fulfills the role that I gave him.
