«  Good for tube amp + distortion and chorus »

Published on 11/15/11 at 05:51
Multi nice effects, easily editable via PC / Mac.
Saturation tube amp simulator and effective comprehensive.
USB connectors so easy.
The mixture of these effects is poorly against thought.

UTILIZATION

I bought it mainly for playing faithful headphone and replace my BOSS Metal Zone lacked versatility.
The config is simple, I used the distortion and chorus.
This serves as my distortion / preamp primarily because I connect directly to PC or PA.
It has become my only purpose, but I only use distortion, cabin and serves me as a preamp, a little chorus and reverb sometimes forget the compression.

Interresting thing is to comple lamp with overdrive distortion, the amp simulator allows many combinations, it just easily be a bunch of sounds to suit all styles.
Being able to assign the overdrive or delay the expression pedal is very useful and overcomes other equipment (except for the compression that I think is awful).

SOUND QUALITY

Super suitable for different styles of saturation, cabins amp unrealistic but convenient to have a his own studio or repeated.
Compression is moldy (blowing distortion) even if it works well.
The reverb is not adjustable, either too much or too little.
The delays and chorus are bluffing, I never used before, for cons, flangers and other effects I was not Strongly believes that over the pedals dedicated (and I had a bunch) or other multi effects tested.
The high quality of this machine lies in having a tube amplifier with USB interface and to see games have multiple presets provided that remains light on the effects.
My guitar is only built for big sound, just not judge sounds clear but it looks great for adding warmth (but I play without distortion)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 or 4 months, I am a firm believer in this machine.
For the price, I'm happy because it allows me to have only one machine interface for PC / Lamp and effects.
I tried full of multi before (thank you Milonga that left me trying most of the store) and at this price, equivalent to little lamp.

But for those who like me, just try a tube preamp and good saturation is a good choice, it is the perfect all in one (again, I do not use guitar amp) and registration, not to use VST, except for compression but actually chain is null.

For effects is too limited, for example, you can not mix chorus + flanger then we can have the same 2fois disto ...
impossible to wha-wha + compressor peurt when we have two different tremolo ...
Compression is inutille given the quality of it and a lot of effects are very experimental in my opinion, it was soon soup.

Interface so inconvenient for someone who seeks above all to good effect, the above, the competition is much better.

Apart from the tube saturation, the effects tired me a little perplexed,
The sound vox is a standard for tube overdrive, the pedal is metal so strong.
I am not disappointed but not sure I do it again this election, I will remain in the future in separate special Indeed, the savings not this type of machine is good for troubleshooting but for those who want a professional, not sure.
