NOTICE GLOBAL

As said above I 'lai not yet, but I've seen test substance, and happiness ... I'll rush to buy it and you will too ... lol

It's a pedal that reproduces the sounds of Brian May 14, classified under seven models (ie models 2 sounds). It contains most of the sounds of Brian, I think he just needs a clear sound to play "another one bites the Dust." It can connect a guitar amp or mixer, in stereo or mono (to both types of output). In the box there is a 6 pence, mine in 1961 with the head of Queen Elizabeth. This is not the room to éphigie Brian.
It hangs under the ropes, but the sound is identical. There is also a bag to put the pedal, but there is very little room for food.

UTILIZATION

In use, I have a little gallery for 30 min. The manual is in English and I'm not very good. But once everything runs well translated. The negatives are mainly in the "DOUBLE" button and accessibility, and the fact that we can not save the settings for each model. For each model you have to turn the knobs to get the sound that goes well. I find ausi switch heel a little hard, but must also say that I play sitting down, not much strength to support it. To ease a little paradigm shift, we can put an optional footswitch to 60 Euros, I find it a bit expensive for the gain obtained using. To resume the previous opinion, it is true that for live use, it is not advisable.

SOUND QUALITY

I use the pedal with a whale low end and I live in the PC industry. The sound is very close to that of Brian, I said that with a Red Special's got to be even closer but verify). The effects in general are very well done. I am a bit disappointed with the sound emulation (for CLTCL), it saturates as soon as you scratch a little too hard. The sounds are very typical Brian May (normal), but I think we can also use it to play another song, with still a little color Queen.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this pedal for 2 days, it's true that I may not be enough back.
I spent a lot of time trying to approach the sound of Brian with a GNX-2 and there is instant. It's true that it is for home use, or he must pause between each song to change the settings. I think the price can be a bit expensive, but when you're a fan and guitarist, there are not
This pedal is designed mainly for fans who want to play in their rooms.

I swear to tell the whole vrit nothing but the vrit I swear.
For the sound of Brian, it can be a shortcut, but even when a lot of rods on the road.
So the principle is simple you turn a knob on September 1 and oh, magic is the sound of Queen comes out of the amp. No need for all the gear, pedals a little and everything is l. Deacy sound, the flanger, phaser, delay two famous rponses ect ... Ok but how you use it?

UTILIZATION

Then the famous buttons, there are four two-button actions (low / aig control / type of micro ect ...) it is essential to have fingers extrment for agility and a reptilian rglage to pick up the bottom without touching the top one. It is not DEFINITIONS Poupa Choubi use this pedals. The big problem is that for every sound you need a rglage diffrent, which means you can only play a portion of a song. If we play on scne "We are the champions" you can not do the solo ... On "Bohemian" must zap the first verse and the beginning of the second ... There are seven banks of two sounds and sometimes the two sounds in the same bank do not match ex. "We will rock you / We are the champions" - Deacy / "A Winter's Tale" and the two sounds go to the same song he is going to miss a troisime and so on. It is therefore impossible to use the pedals to the live. If they put it in with another parallle pdalier you need a noise gate and super balls quis good quality (or play with musicians who are deaf). So if I put a note in a ten for use ...

SOUND QUALITY

In terms of sound quality, I must say that I am the proud Owner 'of the pedals from prs a month and since I seek continuous (day and night) a rglage suitable switches between the six of my Burns and forty-three buttons on my Vox Valvetronix SETTING THE. But I know I will get there one day, there's no reason y 'has to earn the lottery ... Well, in real as my wife says "It looks like, but the sound is awful." It must be that nothing can replace the fingers of Brian May, the quality of its equipment and sound engineers who work with him.

OVERALL OPINION

In conclusion, it is a gadjet plutt nice for the fan. We take pleasure with it is limited a. This means we can play as either in his room or on a recorder. The choice of sounds disappoints me a little, there is no clear sounds of the fabulous' It's a hard life "example, one wonders what use the audio intro to" Crazy Little Thing, "is the flanger is laced quickly to "Keep yourself". But all is not lost as we find in the box with this marvel of technology 250 euros a small piece of six pence ... to OCCAZ.

7 DDouble types of effects for 14 possible sounds of bass tubes queen, We Will Rock You, Winter's Tale, brighton rock, etc ...

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple but the buttons are difficult to ACCS, not adjust the control without disturbing the control infrieur suprieur has less to have fingers orfvre.
The search for patches DIFFERENT nothing compliqu7 possibility of a button and switch on the pedals to get a 14 types of sounds.
The manual for my part has t delivered in English but it is easy in the download franais.Toutefois not rocket science to use the pedals.

SOUND QUALITY

Uses a marshall amp with me and a guitar humbucker, the effects are rather Russian with a minimum of rglages both the amp on the pedals.
Course was not playing as Brian May and nothing else, the sounds are close to the Ralite but not worth much on the combination red special guitar + vox ac 30.
But why have included the sound of the intro to crazy little sing Called Love?? I think it is unhelpful and limit.Pour the rest that remains very acceptable.

OVERALL OPINION

The particularity of the pedals is that it is a toy that can be used that home, it is indeed not possible to change the effect without stop playing to change the sound .
The price is a bit multi levun effect of good quality is almost equivalent in price.
Regarding the choice .... he who loves his queen and sound will be pleased, this pedals is intended for fans of Mr. Brian.
The PDAL comes with a cover and a coin (anecdotal), mine is 1957.L adapter is provided and the special red digitech can be used with batteries, an error I think.

The DigiTech Brian May Red Special is a guitar effects pedal that is modeled after the classic tones of Brian May of the rock band Queen. I also believe that it was designed by Brian May himself, which would explain how well this pedal emulates his sound. It has 1/4 inch connections and is not a rackable unit.

UTILIZATION

The configuration of the DigiTech Brian May Red Special guitar pedal is pretty simple to follow and if you have any experience with guitar pedals you'll have no problems figuring out this pedal. Each knob has two layers of parameters and the unit as a whole has parameters for gain, level, treble, bass, and a knob to emulate the custom guitar that Brian May plays, with options to choose between either single coil or humbucker pick up emulation. It then has a mode knob that has seven different fixed points, each of which emulates the tone of a different Queen song. The manual for this pedal is put together well but isn't necessary to learn the unit.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality of the DigiTech Brian May Red Special is pretty outstanding, and is an extremely versatile pedal to boot. Not only does it do a great job of emulating May's tone, but is a cool pedal in its own right with plenty of different types of sounds. I usually use this pedal with a Fender Strat plugged into a '76 Fender Twin Reverb, so I think I get a pretty accurate read on what this pedal truly sounds like. Whether you are a fan of Queen and Brian May or not, I think you'll agree this is a cool pedal, but it is especially great for those of us who are fans like me.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using the DigiTech Brian May Red Special pedal since it came out about a year or two ago as I was anticipating the release of this pedal for a while. I love the different tones I'm able to achieve with this pedal and the tones are pretty awesome across the board. Although the price isn't cheap, this is really a must have for guitar players who are big Brian May fans. Overall, highly recommended for all guitar players and especially Queen fans.
