I do not want to appear to be a dcrire pedals that no connate ...
There are three rglages, tone, and drive level. The first plays on frquences mdiums the deuxime on the gain and the last on the desired degree of saturation.
Entrance, exit, as the mono jack, but what a joy!
The Casing is solid, the pedals is robust, the rub is that it's a boss, and level lifetime, you will survive the Casing (r is the mtal sisting!) but the pedals in itself will not last long ... Indeed, the switch button is a poor plastic. But it is the small bte look, I admit ...

UTILIZATION

The buttons are simple to use, the fact that they are closer to pose too much problem unless you have big fingers. The simplicity of the pedals in fact its main advantage, no buttons concentric, no tricks how crappy (yet they are able to boss!). Then we ACCS a wide range of sounds, easily ditable, a lightweight motion of a button changes the sound (which can be a one shot ... inconvnient sole and your sound chri goes! Record your rglages if you can, may save your life in concert, believe me).
Once engaged, the only concern is the breath ... I use a 2203 JCM800 2004 JCM800 cabinet connected to a home (in Mount 65 Watts folks, and yes) and a combo Fender Champ 25 lamps, as well tell you that on the fender , has the fact (the breath is not too important) but on the JCM800, the breath is deadly for your ears!

SOUND QUALITY

So l. .. Despite the breath agaant, once the agreement is good lch! The pedals, sadly, is not only a pure amp of course, pure and with a guitar!
On my gothic SG, I have two EMG (81 85) and rings of death on my marshall! Saturation fucking! but beware, it is very simple to have a rotted area of ​​metal, screaming, with no consistency, if we push the right tone too ... finally got question I guess.

In any case, the distortion with the following rglages, tone 2 level 10 and drive 10 has sent the steak on the JCM800!

OVERALL OPINION

Well not bad at all for pedals! I also use a Maxon OD pedals 808 of the rdition ibanez tube screamer (maxon know that it is providing components for ibanez!) Is a fucking overdrive ... but the distortion metal, cold, cold, sharp, I did with my DS1 !!!!!
