« excelente distortion »
Published on 03/27/14 at 08:11This is a distortion size pédal with 12AX7 (Sovtek original).
The pedal is huge, made of metal (we just jump in with both feet above) with its own power supply (12V). The footswitch is silent.
Settings: gain, bass, middle, treble, ISF Level.
An output "emulated output".
UTILIZATION
I do not remember the manual. Is it necessary? ... A little anyway for the ISF.
The effect is very effective and easy to adjust.
Want a big distortion: here's one.
SOUND QUALITY
The distortion is very beautiful very hot (thanks to the lamp) it goes from "a little dirty" to "clear and precise" with ISF or, to paraphrase, "the British style to American style." All those who seek a large distortion will get their money (it is not among the least expensive).
I have long used the original and I ended up changing the lamp and told me she was starting to tire operation since almost 100% of the time. I put a Tung Sol. I personally did not feel the difference but do not rely too much in my opinion on this point.
OVERALL OPINION
I used it for 4 years.
I had a Boss loan once (do not ask me why), I have a DOD Attacker, a Digitech pedal RP7, the distortion of my Marshall VS100, the crunch of my Blackheart BH15-112, I have a a Zvex Box of Metal (which I sold because I found it too artificial), I have a Maxon D & S. (More or less in chronological order)
This is a good distortion pedal (the best I've had in my hands). It's solid, built to last. It is a little big and it says it needs its special power supply.
If I had bought myself one, this is the one that I would even if it is a bit expensive.
That said I bought a more consistent head shot I need ...
If you have the means and the need for a versatile distortion pedal size is frankly good stuff.
