«  big sound hardcore / grindcore »

Value For Money : Excellent
It's very simple, here we have a distortion pedal which as its name suggests is a type of muscular metal oriented sound. Hardcore, grindcore.
Connectivity issue was an input an output and an input power supply, it also works with a 9V.

UTILIZATION

Using very simple there are 4 buttons to adjust the sound (low high distortion level). Manual useless even for those who never used a distortion pedal in his life

Take time to adjust your sound, try multiple positions and microphone settings on your amp.
Otherwise it can quickly break the ears, with this level of aggression this pedal quickly fatigue the ears.
Small council also set your sound level that you play.

SOUND QUALITY

No subtlety wheel distortion goes nag nag Very! Ideal for an aggressive style and dry Brutal Truth.
As soon as you loose the cords feedback when going in all directions on parts hardcore AC does. It's good big sound. If you are tuned in D or C, there is a way to get a seriously powerful and aggressive.

I recommend using a GOOD noisegate to reduce the level of clean blows to any distortion pedal, unless you like the sound of dry hair thoroughly in the ears.
Here are achieved sommetsniveau breath, with distortion at the bottom is almost unbearable. To tell my gate is at-20db and decay to 1% (not to put 0).

I use it with an Ibanez Prestige Series RG-2550z. With Di Marzio. But I have the same sound with an Ibanez SA series. This pedal is extremely colorful sound and finally the rest of the stuff does not matter as long as it has Watts output.

OVERALL OPINION

Must have been a little over a year now. Always satisfied. I tried everything the store had in stock pedals before choosing this one. Simple: the very big sound Ultra vitamin there is nothing that supports the comparison.
After all also depends on which amp you will use ...
I had paid € 105 at the time, good value for money I've never been disappointed by the Boss was always what we want.
+ I love the big sound, there is no subtlety, this pedal is designed for one purpose, but it does a good job in this field. Pedal No. 1 in the category logger. To play something else, change the creamery!
