- What are the effects, or types of effects available?
Compression
- What technology is used? (analog, digital, tube...)
Analogue, tube.
- Can they be edited? through a Mac/PC editor utility program?
Nope
- What connection types are there? (Audio/MIDI)
In & out.
UTILIZATION
- Is the general configuration/setup simple?
Yes, very.
- Is the sound or effects editing easy?
Yes, but settings are powerful so u need to be careful and use them with subtlety. Too much can really kill the sound.
- Is the manual clear and sufficient?...
Yes, very clear, with preset examples.
SOUND QUALITY
- Are the effects good, usable and sufficiently realistic?
This is fine for electric guitar during a gig but be careful when recording cos you can add hiss easily. You might want to dehiss the track afterwards, actually.
This is no Neve gear...
- With what instruments do you use them?
Useless on bass unless you're looking for a special effect.
OVERALL OPINION
- For how long have you been using it?
About 8 years.
- What thing do you like most/least about it?
Great for added sustain. Goes well with the TK-999 distortion.
- Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Not sure there is much competition, really, or there was none at the time...a tube compressor pedal? Do you know of any?
- What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Was about 150 € (£100 back then), which was not cheap, and i'd seriously hesitate now before spending as much. As ever, second hand this would be a good choice, though, if you can get it for about half as much.
What's good is that the settings are very powerful, as for the EQ on the distortion model, and you can really transform your sound drastically. This can be used creatively or just naturally. Worth a test drive, i say!
