Le Mercier « Good product, but ... »
Published on 08/16/11 at 02:23Pedal with three distinct functions: a clean boost of 40db (that's huge), a treble boost of 15dB and a function "buffer" switchable from within.
To summarize:
3 knobs:
Volume (Master)
a clean boost (Boost)
and treble boost (Treble).
A true-bypass that can be converted to bypass with buffer to boost the signal of your guitar when used many pedals "true-bypass" (the problem does not arise a few years ago, as all the pedals were to "buffer" against it was found by a color signal of the guitar after what we went up like effects ...) or to compensate for the loss of signal strength of a long cable ...
UTILIZATION
For use ... nothing fancy, you plug one turns the buttons and that's it ...
Where it gets complicated is the use with other pedals, because depending on what you want to do, the setting will be completely different (eg, the master will be used to boost an OD) I think this pedal instead is made to operate only on an amp and all lights but it is a very personal opinion
A mini external switch would have been more convenient to bypass the "buffer"
SOUND QUALITY
In terms of sound quality not too disappointed: it is transparent and the "boost" is very effective on a tube amp (Vox AC30 CC1) it moves ...
As for the "treble booster" nothing beats a TS9 or TS808 gain 0 (matter of taste) but the result is still the appointment, and awfully good with a Start
As for other boost pedals down there, it gets stuck because one can force parasites!
buffering option is very transparent and very effective and in my opinion a strong point ...
OVERALL OPINION
This model is part of the new series from Mad Professor and it is clear that the quality provided to older models of the brand is no longer valid:
Significant progress on the packaging, price squarely down and when you open the pedal, it feels the industrial base ...!!!
It's a shame because practically the entire range has been lowered and handmade probably will become less frequent ...
Advice, those with Mad Professor handmade, keep ...!!! because I think in the near future prices should catch fire because they are all models except the nival sound qualities as well as manufacturing, rather than the new series, and there, the term "BJF Design "is clearly set to sell because it is west of the original model BJF ...
Obviously, the price dropped and it is still a good pedal, but the background in the mass of industrial and other pedals is not what is expected of a Mad Professor, let alone a BJF Design ...
I would do it clearly does not choose this pedal because I'm a fan of pedals exceptions and there is no longer the case, as a bonus, new at Mad Professor:
parasites! absent on the first models on the same distortion and fuzz
My opinion would have been less severe if I did not have other Mad Professor ...
But here, I have five of the older generation. Certainly, they are all handmade and is price accordingly, but then the quality is really the appointment and stamping BJF is not for sale, some say they are better than BJF original and I think so too ... it's a shame, this policy shift to try to make improper, it breaks a little myth ... certainly for economic reasons ...
