    It's Grunge

    DigiTech GrungePublished on 06/07/12 at 16:58
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    Analog pedal with two outputs, one for amp and one simulation for HP direct mixing console or pc.

    UTILIZATION

    Very easy to use, the manual is cool and suggests settings.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The sound is good, it sounds Grunge, the only problem is that you can adjust the treble and bass, but it lacks an adjustment for the midrange.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for four years, but since I acquired my Mesa Rectifier, I use it mostly for direct recording on the PC.
    I bought 32 euros new and I do it again this choice.

    DigiTech Grunge Pedal

    DigiTech GrungePublished on 10/30/01 at 15:00
    I bought this unit used for $45

    I like that there are 4 knobs to play with (loud/volume, butt/bass, Face/treble, and Grunge). The tone is very over-the-top. If you are looking for loud and un-subtle, this is it.

    You are limited by the shear power of the sound. Not a lot more use that "grunge".

    Sturdy metal chasis.

    This isn't a very versatile pedal but if you just need some pure power to rock the room, this is it.

    A grunge pedal to the metal

    Technology and Analog
    For all the crap I can still say anything I do not know enough put in

    UTILIZATION

    Simple configuration with a button that loud volume quivaut
    A button bass not very sensitive (I put in 3 / 4 to 1 / 4 in hight) but even when his work is
    A button Hight against him by making it very sensitive distortion screaming fast enough
    A button that grunge, basically a button quivaut dist. pedals on another, this means that adjusts the amount of distortion, but even by keeping 0 we have a rather strong distortion


    No besion man, you the branch, and you find you are looking after a matter of taste

    No besion man, you the branch, and you find you are looking after a matter of taste

    SOUND QUALITY

    I use this pedal for a year and a prs, after having had a ds 1, ds2 boss (who, I think, sent not enough distortion, not enough power) and a big muff electro Harmonix I only use the little grunge like distortion, I use it with the ds 2 in suplement for lead channel, but even without aditional pedal, it goes pretty good for solos.
    I use it on a mustang fender amp and a fender amp field with XD 25 as jag stang guitar with a Seymour Duncan SH4 JB in bridge and a micro strat good quality set, I plug in the fender XD25 and the field is the sound Kurt Cobain, it is therefore perfect for Nirvana ..
    I also used a Gibson Les Paul faded and is the sound system of a down slipknot up, steve vai, van halen etc. ..

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have over the past year, I gain some pedals (ds1, ds2, bigmuff) to finally stay on if it's even more polivalente people think just by looking at its name ..
    I choose to do it again without problem EXCELLENT quality price ratio

    Well, it's a distortion, we agree. 'Do not expect to find here an overdrive, a nice little vintage sound or other: it's modern, it's digitech.
    Note the presence of between Mixer. Personal I use it but some will interresss.
    The look (huuumm the beautiful violet) is questionable but good tastes and colors ...

    nothing to say in particular on the knobs, simple and sensitive enough.

    UTILIZATION

    All activated / deactivated with the feet, so no need to manual unless you have an IQ in the ngatifs.
    the sounds offered by bte are not my faith but the number trs lev Grunge offers all of the same palette of sounds suitable, easily adjustable.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Okay so that's where I reveal my true opinion, in all its subjective.
    I personally find that the term "Grunge" is rather usurped, because the sounds are strongly reminiscent of the mtal available and not much else!

    I play on the fender bbte with a neutral sound quality and suitable for the big sound, and expresses sounds heavy and sharp, but remain (in pertinant apply settings) nanmoins prcis.

    Basically I would advise to use the grunge mtalleux for use exclusively, and because sutout occasional sounds tired rather quickly (link if possible with another type boss pedal to vary a bit) and lacking in personality. I prefer sharp and shrill sounds (for example solos, and a bit of shred) it can give.

    I play it the pedal on a 1 / 4 ibanez body and of course it's not the kind of sound you would expect most would run this kind of scratch so I am not required if trs ca sounds a little box, it's also my fault =)

    Overall, a purchase trs interresting.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it now for 2 ½ months. I'm happy.

    I like the sound of the pedal up, sounds pretty good too chirurgiquaux typs, modern, and sometimes a bit "cardboard": - /

    Regularly try a lot of pedals, and I must admit that it's done everything seemed cool (79 euros on thomann, it's not a very big investment). report qualitprix trs correct.

    With experience, of course I do it again this election! Honestly, if you are east hard rock / metal / grunge (trs) do not hesitate nerv. -2 For lack of personality sounds, that's all.

    good itches!

    we can find a sound that is very clean ... but its a very "large" which gives correctly the sound "grunge"
    still prefer a rock instead of metal type ... as big as his approach

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had 4 hours so no time to get tired and for € 40 ... there is no battle will long jla .. ... Easier to use than the metal area and the largest the rest of jme at Boss .... do really well to Digitech!
    I would do this election and encourages people to test it!

    EDIT: a lil adjustable very nice level 5 7 severe acute grunge 2 10 (a utiliseravecun boost midrange and treble HT)

    SOUND QUALITY

    Attention /! I use it with any lights on it transo synthetic sounds (not as a MT2: p)

    I use a Peavey VK 412 and VK 112 + a stratum H (soon Start with a floyd and SH4 was going to kill)

    the sound is simply amazing, I really found the sound Louder Than Love Soundgarden vs. Pearl Jam, and the self-titled album Dirt by Alice In Chains and Stone Temple Pilots live alien broadcast or ADP.

    some say it's a toy for fans of nirvachose it is not really very aggressive and really has nothing do with the sound of the Mustang left (whatever Scentless Apprentice ...)

    it is a very versatile distortion can go from a rock by the nerv enpassant 70 80 Hard and heavy but to get to the grunge is perfect for the prog metal genre refrain dream theater (j ' have a shred master that is the case).

    For those with a Marshall MS2, a disto classic is unusable, with that you have the sound with this brick génialissime purple

    OVERALL OPINION

    At first I was septic pedal a "grunge" Yeah, should be a notice I test in the store and I fell in love I pay 62 and I am extremely saaaatisfait . I use it for 3 months now and I intend to keep it for much longer

    quality price ratio 9 / 10 - 0.5 for the fixed gain and -0.5 for the 9v battery clip is not sturdy at all

    put a hand to darken it is great

    Dns the same mind, you can get dj bass because you're quick to get stuck with a loud irritating sound trs but hey, the gots and colors ...
    The sound is qd even cold enough, too lazy to check but only work on digitech numrique I see no reason that this analog pedals is so good ...
    (Other users seem to say that while good j'me c'st analog range of the majority opinion ^ ^)
    Against it by spitting good styles for violent (but not mtal).

    OVERALL OPINION

    Chui really not a fan, plus it is unusable for bass. As against the gain is impessionant, and the Ibanez Smash Box Submitted like the pedals of the most powerful line made me laugh cot;)!

    Digital distortion pedal

    1 in / 2 out (amp / mixer with 4 * 12 simulated)

    4 knob:

    loud: ie level - a kind of post master effect
    Low: uh, guess
    High: same
    grunge: small knob that serves as a bit chaotiser sound. Unlike most noticeable when the knob is low and high noon.

    UTILIZATION

    Everything is easy to use. Nothing really exotic and the manual provides examples of setting. Now it depends a lot on Grat upstream.

    SOUND QUALITY

    SOUND QUALITY

    For sound, I agree with some comments below: do not expect to make the metal with this pedal. I use it with two Great, a classic player 60 Mex Start and a Gibson LP faded (P90 pickups). Start with, I get good grainy distortion. The sound is fat enough without choking on the type of Great and you can even play with the switch on the guitar, it has a real effect. There, the knob "grunge" has a noticeable effect.
    With Gibson, it's gone. A high level with a big gain. Saturated sound very strong, but with less grain strangely. This is probably due to the level of the Great.
    Behind, I have a Classic 30 and frankly, I do not find the sound if it's digital. It's very good to make some big rock or pop rock solo supported.

    Note some comments below: a distortion is not an overdrive. No use trying to make the crunch with a distortion pedal because if not impossible, it may be complicated depending on the pedals.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for one month now. I needed this pedal because the distortion of the classic 30 does not suit the stratum and on the gibson, I had a very significant grain on some pieces, but inappropriate in others. I wanted a pedal offering more grain but without going into the field of metal. I am totally delighted. I could throw my zoom g2 distos which were more like a 56k modem than anything else. I recommend players to rock / pop-rock but I recommend to metalheads. Also, try here because I think she may not agree with all the guitars.

    Good Distortion

    DigiTech GrungePublished on 04/01/11 at 15:46
    This is a good distortion pedal. It can do from heavier blues to metal. It has a Volume Knob, a Bass Knob, a Tone Knob, and a Gain Knob (labeled Grunge). Despite it's name, this is NOT a pedal for Grunge. This is more of a metal pedal in my opinion.
    It has an Input, and two outputs. One is for the amp, and the other has Cabinet simulation for direct input to a mixing console.

    UTILIZATION

    This is an easy pedal to use. The manual comes with suggested settings, but they're really only a ballpark figure. It's a little difficult to get a good tone out of this pedal, but very easy to get a bad one. Too much treble and it become a harsh, fizzy mess. It gets muddy very easy as well. The G…

It's a little difficult to get a good tone out of this pedal, but very easy to get a bad one. Too much treble and it become a harsh, fizzy mess. It gets muddy very easy as well. The Grunge knob controls the gain. It can go from a heavy blues style OD if EQ'd right, to a bass heavy, screaming, metal distortion.

    SOUND QUALITY

    This pedal sounds great for a $50 pedal. It can get very harsh and muddy very quick though. It takes a little playing with to dial in right because the knobs are sensitive. When dialed in right, it is a good metal distortion. It is really trebley though. You have to back up on the treble on the pedal and your amp when using this thing. It is also very very loud. This is NOT the best metal pedal around. It sounds decent enough, but there are pedals who do it and do it better. The amount of treble present in this thing is amazing. It takes a little bit to learn where to set it so it's not harsh and fizzy, but also not muffled and too bassy.

    OVERALL OPINION

    This is a decent pedal, but it's downfall is the amount of treble present in it. It has way too much treble. I used it to play Thrash, and it just wasn't cutting it. It can hold it's own against a BOSS MT-2, but it fails against anything else. It's very easy to make it Harsh and Fizzy. It's too easy to find a bad tone in it. If the dialed out some treble in it, it would be a great pedal. But as it stands, there are better in the price range than this.
