Best value:
Excellent
I'll let you read the opinion of D_lex
UTILIZATION
Very easy to understand.
I just preferred to have the input power supply at the top of the pedal, not on the side, it's too boring in a pedal board; m'enfin most brands do the same ...
For now I use a Power Engine 60 Tech21 home, waiting to have a real tube amp. But already it's a hit though.
When I do not want to disturb the ptite family, I plugged into the sound card, and I play with headphones, it's just bluffing.
All the configs that I used so far have required that I keep the switch HP Simulation enabled. So I do not know what happens with the switch off, plugged into a real amp.
SOUND QUALITY
I confirm the opinion of D_lex
Whether it's with my custom shop relic strat 60, my Ibanez AS103, my bass! and I even tried with my electro Martin, it sounds great.
In clean: good clean which agrees very well with all the pedals I've tried, distortion, delay, modulation, compressor ...
In crunch: it's easy for me, Marshall is runny, it's garish Vox, Fender is ugly ... There, playing on the EQ you get super easy to get sounds that somewhat resemble each style, but mostly it was the Hiwatt crunch, which abandons any band, whether it's the bass, midrange, or treble, really great. The day I changed the amp to a tube amp, I will use this pedal to make me a channel crunch!
In disto: bah it's a distortion amp, it is not I find the pedals (rat, muff, fuzz ...) but the sound is still very good.
With the bass: either you can have a great sound and very clean with good bass, decreasing the treble. If not by connecting a low precision, and adding a bit of character and drive you directly to the Floyds live at pompei, exquisite!
Since it is not a programmable pedal, change the settings each time you want to change the sound unthinkable live. I rule in very light crunch, lowering the volume of the stratum 8, I find myself with a clean. If I want to slap it in chords, I turn to volume 10 of the stratum, and against the ca-note limit remains clean. Superb. For distos, I have my pedals.
OVERALL OPINION
It's been a year now I have. I am more than happy.
I have not tried the other models in the series, because from everything I could listen on the net, that's really what kind of sound I was looking for, and I really was not disappointed .
What I like most: the sound of course!
What I like least: frankly, apart from the scope of input power supply ... I'm still looking
Indeed, a head Hiwatt Custom 7 it cost 1300th. A 195euros pedal, the price / quality ratio is excellent.
Unless you have a team of roadies and full of dough, I would do what ever choice!
