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

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.
