Eulfred « Complete Music and pedal »
Published on 03/15/11 at 08:55This pedal is very comprehensive foremost a multi-effects modeling is a bit of modeling technology found in Vox amplifiers DA with a lot of additional opportunities and a 12AX7 tube to warm the sound, particularly disto.
It has a substantial bank of amp simulators: Fender, Vox, Marshall, Mesa, etc. ... and several cabinet simulator, which makes it very convenient to play a sound.
The effects are numerous: Reverb, Delay, Chorus galore, wah, Tremolos, etc. ...
Connectors classic for this kind of device I / O standard, midi, etc. ... but not a big fan of PC applications I did not look into the matter ... I guess it must be connected without worries.
UTILIZATION
So let's be clear right away: it is not easy at first ... it's a pedal that requires a lot of research to find its own sound banks, beginning first with the type of amp, then adding the desired effects as well as any necessary adjustments based on the config in which it is rotated.
Personally I use a bank of 4 pedals sound: clean, crunch, distortion, Lead, on every channel I add the possibility to trigger a delay through the last connector, to finish the pedal I use only pedal volume, all this to explain that I use probably 20 to 25% of the possibilities of the machine, but it suits me perfectly as I use this pedal only in rehearsals in order to avoid having to take a configuration too heavy.
The manual is complete, no worries on that side.
SOUND QUALITY
The sounds are generally good, some simulations seem unsuccessful, but others are enormous: the config Mesa is monstrous, the rather nice crunch on the side of Vox and Marshall, cons by the cleans are pretty disappointing ... they sound a bit too synthetic for my taste, unfortunately.
Effects while impressive at first, become quite pervasive in the long and not easy to properly adjust ... should not be abused and cententer limit their impact on the basic sound by mixing approx 30/40% not well, unless like the sounds very busy indeed.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 1 year only in rehearsals, plugged in the Marshall MG100 or Vox, although this is not the ultimate pedal, I must admit that sending distos really strong and OD, as I play mainly from hard and heavy it's perfect!
The quality / price is more than excellent on occasion, very correct in nine.
I remake that choice without hesitation, because few can boast of cranks make distos "lights" for a fee as competitive.
