VL Effects Bullit Fat Vintage

The PDAL is a medium booster, based on the famous "dallas arbiter" (treble boost), whose reputation is not done. The diffrence is located primarily in the potentiomtre ATK-TON dvelopp by Vincent Loret (VL VL Effects). Internal connectors Fully couraging hand by Vincent, which uses germanium transistors, the same ones utiliss in the years 70-80 and I believe marks the diff ence of its effects compared to type "overdrive / booster" of today.
The connection is simple. taken In and Out jacks for the guitar, a strong switch to trigger the effect (a change of galre me the switch from my TS-9), a 9v power supply (attention, reverse polarity) and / or a 9 volt battery in a well thought out storage latral need to turn the pedals, or anything dvisser: simply pull the small flap on the latrale ct slipping is enlve the battery, it shall give a in two seconds it's done.
A blue LED indicates that the effect is on.
potentiomtres two on top, and ATK Boost-TON.
Note that this is a true bypass pedals.

UTILIZATION

Manual ... manual ... how useless.
config gnrale ultra simple. edition of the sounds is as follows:
This pedal operates two potentiomtres, atk boost and tone as indicated above.

the boost is a boost as its name suggests, in fact it is a volume knob (0 = 0 volume). Basically, we add 15 db. Handle with prcaution, has changed the traditional type of overdrive pedals maxon and ibanez (I am a user and a TS9 OD0 I put parallle often ... I was putting more prcisment since the arrival of the bubble changed my config).

dj halfway the boost knob, sending a timber.

but the plot thickens or is when you play with the tone knob atk. Unlike the boost, it is turned in the opposite direction clockwise. more one goes towards the left, the sound becomes thicker, more harmonics emerge, has become more angry.

APRS, the equation to find a suitable, it is the interaction between the two knobs. I found my sound "IDAL" is by looking at two chicken heads! admnage and dry.

SOUND QUALITY

I use the bubble with a "small" night train 15W/7.5W vox head on a cabinet 2Xcelestion home hp V30. triode configuration (in 7.5W) and the clean volume / gain noon, the havoc that makes this pedal when I was carrment triggers incredible. I used a ton, for years, overdrive, distortion, fuzz and all the rest. I bin the rest of the c. .. One advantage of the bubble is to make you spend your single coils as humbuckers when you need it. then I who mount my strats either DiMarzio (chopper type) or Joe Barden, or GFS, I'm almost sorry for the single shot! but I will not go back, it's all about the adjustable Bullit Fat Vintage, and the volume level of the guitar. except that in the case of the Bullit, it is from much lower with a big sound and gradually get to play the bull dozers, but with finesse, so to speak.
the quality of sound is exemplary, and I must say that j'apprcie most is that its thickness (hence the adjective "fat") when turning the knob-atk your counter clockwise. has also added a bunch of harmonics that can not get with the maxon and ibanez. it's big, fat, of heavy. and remains mlodique (adpend also the one who plays and how and with what!). in my case, my report aa chang indniablement the overdrive, not only in terms of different settings Volume / Tone guitars, but also the configuration of the pedalboard, or the bubble is about to replace the overdrive I was using before.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since mid July 2009, rpt, concert and studio. its a joy every time.
I love the most: the sound, power (15 db is pretty comfortable), the grain of the pedals (the germanium transistors are forcment for something), the thickness " ATK-TON ".
with practice and a little practice, you come to find his way with the bullit fat vintage. it should be noted the sensitivity of chicken heads, a small millimtre left or right, and change. So it is better to note the position or the mmoriser. will each according to his needs.

qualitprix the report? side the bubble 240 is on, it's not given. Month I do not see a thing ... with all that I could put money in as diffrent pedals overdrive / distortion I used until now, no r Ellement get the sound I was looking for (even if I am closer but still missing something), I could pay me a couple of Bullit!
Not that the ... I know she will stay long with me, because I found the holy grail of overdrive. some would say that some j&#39;exagre <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="biggrin" /> . Almost! I love that when they rponderais, etc ... joke hand and objectively, it is not expensive considering the quality of manufacture. Subjectively, I have no regrets.

Note also the friendly builder Vincent Loret Do not hesitate to let you try a dozen MODELS until you find one that suits you. they are all slightly differ but all have the same advantage: ATK-TON, remember, the code name meaning war machine (within the meaning of the term Pacific) for me!
Given the sizes that use it now ... the pedals should be in the history of the overdrive / boost.

The Bullit Fat Vintage is produced by Vincent Loret (VL-Effects). It's a traditional pedal, connected point by point, a true work of craftsmanship.
The beautiful is adorned with a robust metal shell, switch, jack In / Out, a very wise stack location (no need to reverse the Bullit to change).
Finally, two knobs, BOOST and ATK-Ton, very simple but stunning efficiency.

UTILIZATION

I use it since May 2009 with a Twin Reverb and a Start almost exclusively 57. Suffice to say that the sound is wonderful.
The simplicity of the setting allows a quick start, it's rough, but the focus knobs are precision hallucinating. Few millimeters and it's more like ..... Bullit With the single coils in my Start Humbuckers turn into roaring, it's a treat for the ears.
By varying the volume of the guitar + the two settings of the pedal, the possibilities are enormous.

SOUND QUALITY

Here is the vamp. The Bullit is a Bosst certainly but not only ... She is able to saturate any tube amp. Sounds issued can range from a fine crunch, with very slight distortion or clipping more generous.
Simply put the Bullit does not play in the same course as some well known brands of pedals. It's upscale in terms of sound and workmanship. This pedal suplantera undoubtedly some models of your pedalboard, or improve their performance.

OVERALL OPINION

Try to adopt it. The 240 € to pay can be a hindrance, but this pedal is unique and does not need to buy more.
When you look outside the beast is beginning to understand, when you look inside you're admiring, when the industry is taking a big pie.
Finally, bubbles are produced by a real enthusiast, high availability and great kindness.
We understand why the big names are already using ....

Everything has been said I think.
It's solid, it will not move a hair in my opinion and I love the look of this pedal.
The hatch for the 9-volt battery is a great idea!

UTILIZATION

It's simple but powerful, it has two knobs: the Booster and the ATK-TON.
This combination creates an easy to use and super effective.

SOUND QUALITY

I play a LP and a Start plugged into a small Fender Vibro Champ XD and the sound is ultra-malleable. You can go from a light crunch to a nice overdrive just playing with the guitar volume is happiness.
And even if I'm not a size in this area, playing with the bullitt bottleneck will quickly become a classic.

OVERALL OPINION

I did that last week, but I use it every day already.
The value is very good in my opinion, this is not a pedal that will make his own kick at the slightest misplaced. And the sound is there!
Anyway, Vincent Loret is very nice and easy to contact.

In short, I am not disappointed by the Bullitt and I have certainly not done the trick.
