Published on 06/24/12 at 15:10Everything has been said I think in many opinions on this pedal.
Foot-high gain distortion
-1 Volume knob "Level"
-2 Coaxial potentiometer EQ (low, medium, sharp and to choose a parametric midrange frequency change)
-1 Potentiometer for adjusting the level of distortion
-1 Input and 1 output
-9V battery or external
In short a distortion pedal rather complete level parameter.
UTILIZATION
I always love the buttons and tweak what is not these unfortunate knob that scare me! The handling is very simple, the manual is almost useless. We shoot, we see what happens and then return it to understand what each buttons are.
SOUND QUALITY
This should be about 6 years that I have this pedal if not more. I had a few months after my first electric guitar. Chooses a bit by default, being new at this at the time, I just wanted a distortion pedal to play the song of my favorite group of the time. I thought she was great with my little transistor amp marshall has 15 watts
With time I learned new things, my ear is improved, new equipment has arrived and after a year and a half I completely neglected. I finally find the foul and I still do.
The sound is neutral, synthetic, too "hardcore" for my taste and my style. The éqaliseur works very well gives a wide range of sounds but only unusable.
But there are quite a few months, out of curiosity I decided to resortir to experiment a bit, and especially out of the dust! And it is qu'additionner with the overdrive of my amp (100 watt ashdown fallen angel hybrid) I can get stuff from the beast! I could get the sound of the song "Till I Get My Way" Black Keys! It plays very well the role of EQ pedal with boost bonus.
OVERALL OPINION
Conclusion:
Pedal very poor for my taste in "standalone" but is very effective coupled with an overdrive that will provide the necessary heat and restore some life to the metal box.
In my opinion it up to ca in most musical styles. Only, it will be suitable to the metal, trash, ect ect (area that does not attract me especially) but for all the other style (blues, rock, pop, alternative why not even RnB) it will use it wisely and not especially only. It's not really the ultimate distortion pedal for the novice!
So for now it remains in front of my amp. But once I have the means I highly likely to replace it with a good fuzz.
So much for my very first review
