The PDAL is one of the newest, and any range of Premire Blackstar amplification, bote up by former guys from Marshall.
The pedals distX is in this range possdant the most gain.
Its amplifier circuit, as with all pedals in the range, is low on a lamp. Unlike many other pedals sold for this technology, blackstar really use the light: This is REALLY a polarizing voltage 300V approaching, thanks adapter 16V (uncommon) provided with pedals. Digging on the netvous find articles of little guys who disassemble the bte for vrifier.
Like other blackstar of its range, the one between possde distx, and two outputs: a normal, made to go to an amp and a mule, Designed to be heading for a sound system, a mixer, sound card, in short, which can be used to record.
Rglage level, there is first the classic: gain, bass qualisation trebble medium and master. And there is the famous ISF. This one is sort of the equivalent of a SETTING THE contour, it can change the color of his (lblackstar tells us to go from his English sound California).
The pedals possde over a true bypass.
Finally, case level, it&#39;s a tank, it&#39;s heavy, sturdy, the knob and switch are of excellent quality. The loupiotte under the lamp is the most beautiful effect, in its grid-like grille of a muscle car. Nothing wrong on that!

UTILIZATION

Nothing more simple, you plug, you play, the rglages are simple and efficacy of a formidable Describes as in the sound. It quickly finds what you want, not making head.

SOUND QUALITY

So it&#39;s the norm.
Dj point I have seen all the Blackstar: The qualisation is magical. For the first time in my life I hear the real bass of any effect from scratch: to increase the bass do not dampen the sound, adds a depth to the contrary coming from below, which supports the rest. I t bluff.
The ISF is also superb. I always found that the contour SETTING THE amp I have played at least half of the beach offers n&#39;tait any fawn unusable: either incredibly loud, compltement is deaf and dnu body. Of course I&#39;m not talking luxury amp. In any case, none of this is: it changes the color of sound, according to his taste, period. Again, this is an incredibly effective rglage.

Just by the bridge the most important gain. While the as I have read once adbouche cages honey. There is a monstrous Reserved. I can not use the max for my part, is not my style. And yet, I can tell you that I like to have a good disto buggers, though full, dense, dj del far from a simple crunch a little boost. For a, I do not Exceeds half the gain available! In any case, whatever the rglage is prcis is any, and can, thanks qualisation and the ISF, absolutely get what you want.
Please note that this is PDAL dedicates to high gain. Use it for a lightweight crunch would not be at all suitable. Remaining trs (trs) close to the minimum gain, you get a feeble sound, not a great crunch. Of course, pushing the del "1", everything works out, it is not forced to have a ultra sound bourrinos with this stuff.
Finally, I put a 9 because j&#39;mets Reserved on the quality of the output mulated: EN store, sounded a lot, plugged into a mixer and a good sound system. On my little line6 sound card base is less dramatic, but I have not gone further testing. So this is just a reserved.

Finally, something I find important: I could try it 3 or 4 DIFFERENT amps, good to worst: it is its level remains constant. I have not always had fun with the other stuff I&#39;ve had, so I wanted to report it.

OVERALL OPINION

The pedals do not in any part of me. Résumé to: qualisation prcise, of excellent workmanship, a very nice ISF, a reserve of gain intersidrale that satisfied everyone.
Simplicity and efficiency in the end you can get what you want, there is never a rglage stumbles, it is never galre, we do not find to tinker get what you want. It is a pure DLIC. Who can not afford to buy me an amp lamps, and these amps as gnralement overpowered, I researched a PDAL can satisfy me. I t&#39;s by VOX Cooltron home (the bulldog is deaf trs). The Jeckyll and Hyde, plbicite trs, trs ultimately left me skeptical. I do not even speak Mtal area and other stews. With distx, I had a thunderbolt. For once, the price seems to me the height of its quality and finish.

Finally, I would do no forcment this choice today, and this cause my style of play: as I said, I never use the gain more than half and I find it a pity . I will leave on a Dual plutt home blackstar (no question of leaving the mark of any Manir), which has less gain and correspond more my style. It&#39;s got a question: is just the distX oversized for me!

I think this is incontestable THE REFERENCE in the field of large distos in pedals.
