-This is a distortion numrique.

-The connection could not be more basic: input / output and plug adapter.

UTILIZATION

-The handling of this distortion is very simple: we have 4 knob: Level, Distance and two knobs "Color Mix" that roughly correspond to an adjustable treble and bass SETTING THE.

-There is a very easy or good sounds.

-I did not have the manual (bought used) but I do not see what could have brought me so much config is simple.

SOUND QUALITY

So this is disto-trs particulire: the grain is bold and rocky, trs saturation level is actually rather low for a Hi-gain pedals.

"I used the pedals in a branch head Randall G3 (hybrid) directly on the light or in conjunction with an Electro Harmonix Metal Muff, all with an LTD Eclipse 500 (mahogany + EMG)

'Then we can use the pedals alone on the clean sound of the amp but my humble opinion, this lack of intrt config and I was not convinced even knock, the distortion plutt remains low (I play mostly Black / Death Metal) more grain is really fat and imprcis, and tends his "rounded" when playing fast (eg tremolo picking Black Metal.)

I personally branch together a Metal Muff Electro Harmonix:
With the equation of the two pedals or nearly neutral (almost all knobs 12), the saturation of the ELH 4 and that of the Boss 3, and volume 12, there's a very s nice to play Black Metal or Death: the sound is really dense, and the cot of the rocky Boss gives super rsultat for big power chords and other big riffs, more everything remains pr cis net can play prcis and net (but has, I trusts you!)
Mention specially for picking riffs trmolo: the sound is so dense they sound really big and as I said above, the trend lgrement rounded while remaining fairly rpeux This gives good rsultats trs.

The pedals are legendary for their key Old School Death Sudois (ingrdient obviously essential to the sound of tnors like: Entombed, Dismember and Co.) and well we can say that it is not rat even if personally remember the sound of bands like Dissection (I have a sound that is very close to that of Unhallowed or Soulreaper!) but must be because I am in agreement and Mi not in Si

-In calmer areas, the pedals are well dmerde frankly: the thickness of its natural grain and gives super rocky trs rsultats Blues in good fat and Stoner Rock.

I put the maximum, BUT THIS WARNING pedals will not fit EVERYONE AS ITS GRAIN IS INDIVIDUAL.
Personally it is exactly what I wanted, which is why I put such a good note, but everyone will not find his account.

OVERALL OPINION

I use only a few hours but I think I've been around, if I change my mind or I add something else, I'd be told.

The extreme-Grain Metal Sudois of the old school is in this beast ... I think it's an indispensable seeking this type of sound: Entombed, Dismember, Dissection, Amon Amarth. (For cons, recess, the gear derrire to follow ... but is it ncessaire to prciser?)

Level of Disto-pedals I tried many a thing before, but I do not use it in the main distortion, only to color the sound of my Metal Muff.

-I got used to cheap can trs (thirty euros) that the price is a bargain!

-I do not know, in any case, the pedals are and will remain of good quality APRS, do I always sound so particulire signature in a few years?
