- What are the effects or types of effects available?
Well disto

- What technology is used? (Analog, digital, tube ...)
Analog I think, although opinions differ, I have a KH and a small 30 watt Vox: Well I can tell you with the same settings and on the same amp it sounds not the same thing (I connected to a squier .......)

- Are they edited? Via an editor Mac / PC?
Not

- What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI)
Input / Output Jack, 9V power supply and one can of course put a 9V battery ...

Simplicity is the appointment (perhaps too?) A knob for volume, one for gain and finally the treble and bass.

- Is this a rack or rack-mount model?

UTILIZATION

The configuration of this pedal is very simple, very instinctive in fact. No need for manual, just 3 buttons to tweak (the volume is excluded ...)
Is easily obtained from large well metal just push the bass and gives a sound very heavy and greasy, or treble to give her a very sharp, really sharp.
However, I do not think you can ask for much more to this pedal and it is really made for metal, hard rock limit, but at this versatility is not the right thing.
For solo ca sending good, with a maximum thrust distortion, low to 2 / 5 and treble to 4 / 5, we get a sound a bit like Mick Thompson.
This pedal is therefore very well to metal fans but also to shredders, I think that with this pedal, solo level is not a good time.
If it's versatility you're looking for, go see else!

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are effective, nothing to say on this point.
I use it with a 202 equipped with the KH kit EMG Zakk Wylde and a vox amp 30watts.

The distortion has pushed back with very low I like these a lot. It sends the heavy what.

What I regret about this pedal, however, the absence of a cest settings; Boss wanted to do in simplicity but they could have let the metal knobs present in the area, could have been better exploited the ability of this pedal, because without these settings are a lot of I think about, which is a shame because there'll have much more to discover but sounds good!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months now.
For the metal is really the pedal for you.
You will be a little short but good sound level ...
Metals will it to their heart I think
I try a lot of distortion before choosing the one (metal muff / metal zone among others) that I enjoy most are low: we do not find these in any other the bass pedal! The level of gain as well, none!
The money is quite satisfactory for the 95th one acquires a good pedal.

I regret, like many guitarists ... the lack of settings, so I decided to sell my Metal Core Satchurator to buy is really a very versatile pedal that gives a lot of possibilities with gain very thorough, and many other perks ...

if satchurator had been available 6 months ago, I hardly think that I made the choice of the metal core; jen still keep the good memories with this pedal that really sounds great despite its flaws: =
