albou « A little sticky, but tasty! »
Published on 10/25/10 at 01:07Here we are facing a multi-purpose lamp Vox (I must say I've never seen that, at the same time I do not own innate knowledge ...).
I do not think too much I am right in saying that all known effects are available (11 in all) with the exception of a few: Chorus, Delay, Tremolo, Wah, and so on of the best, and a reverb, built (you can choose between 3 types and their intensities: Spring, Room, Hall). There are also (it does you will not escape) a pedal that can change sometimes serve Wah, sometimes pedal volume, Whammy ... You decide!
The pedal also has an amp simulator (11 in all) to 3 channels. No need to have a PhD in math: it has a total of 33 amp simulations which can at will choose the independent firm and an internal equalizer, and a simulator and distortion pedal .. . Phew!
With that, if we do not find a sound that pleases us is that we are probably not for the guitar.
I forget to specify that can be programmed 99 different sounds, and sounds from 49 to 79 (or something like that) are guitar sounds of famous songs (Smells Like Teen Spirit, Pride and Joy, I am not a drawing).
The pedal steel in the mold, gets a nice 12AX7 pre-amp that becomes glowing lorsque'on lighter gear. Imagine what can be an arpeggio with a chorus went on a Fender Hot Rod: pure delight!
Finally, we can pre-set sounds through a USB connection located in front of the pedal, with that, you can share sounds, or even create new ones. It is an almost unlimited potential!
With all this, I almost forgot the tuner!
UTILIZATION
One might think that this machine is difficult to use, but NO!
The ST has a Tonelab ergonomics and formidable annotations! Click here for this, click here and let you have this!
Well ... regarding the manual ... well ... not being bilingual French / German, let's say I had to fight with fists (image) to decrypt it (to this day I still have not succeeded). But otherwise, I assume the manual is clear, there's no doubt: It is still VOX!
For editing sounds, it's easy: you observe a few annotations here and there, and the rest follows naturally.
I still have some difficulties to get to work other than Wah pedal, but we made it with time xD
SOUND QUALITY
Pedal with 12AX7 tube, sounds are of rare quality and settings are almost as numerous as independent pedals (I said almost): the tremolo, you can adjust the height and intensity of vibration and the volume effect: what more?!
I have a little regret for the whammy is not very effective. But otherwise, I am satisfied with everything from the light air Chorus, Flanger to torture!
Some effects seem unnecessary, as the "Filtron" ... To this day I still have not found myself agreeing settings ...
However, I am enthralled by the chorus (or there are 2 or even 3 if you count the chorus / delay). They are of rare quality!
Now to the amp simulations. Now I'm more mixed: the sounds are really cleans hell! That nothing wrong! That is the distortion that I'm disappointed!
The distos amps are good overall, just that I can not find what suits me, it's the same for distortion pedals. But the sounds are good, that's for sure! I'm picky, but you should find what you seek! The reverb is not bad, but considering the quality of the whole, there is still a little hungry ...
I would put 8 because of the reverb and amp distos. Otherwise the rest is monumental!
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for several weeks and that is really the foot is not lost with stupid and useless as effects from other manufacturers.
Before this, I tried the same model (multi-effects pedal + change) at Zoom and Digitech home, but without the lamp, there's nothing to do, it does not sound like alas ...
What I like most is the warm, realistic sounds and clean sounds and crunchy pedal, there's something for everyone and really, except for metal or distos limits are pretty ...
What I do not really, it is the distortion pedals ... Some are similar and nothing new.
A 217 €, it would be wrong to complain: it is a quality pedal, which he will prefer a tube amp rather than a buzzy transistor that can not bring out the true sounds of it it (but you can always try!)
With experience ... I would do this choice, although very disappointed by the simulations "pedal", they needed no ... Apart from the "Tube OD" and "Store" which are really great.
A value for the price of thunder p'tiots! It was I who told you!
