So that's a digital pedal that emulates seven copies of distortions of trade distortion:
- Ibanez TS-9
- DOD Overdrive
- Boss DS-1
- Pro Co Rat
- Boss Metal Zone
- DigiTech Metal Master
- EH Big Muff

2 output jack (amp and mixer)
no power supply provided, I regret the price of the pedal, because it consumes a lot in a pile I find
appearance inspires confidence, metal case, plastic knobs not cheap at all
weight is therefore ensuring that (with non-slip material) it will not move even for those who are like oxen ^ ^

UTILIZATION

For the config, I think that getting involved well, you get faster the sound is desired (I recommend you go for the doc in French on the manufacturer site)

settings knobs use a system of rings, which allows for two settings of a knob (except for the choice of distortion):
- Level / low
- Midlle frequency / middle
- Gain / high
- Distortion model
it has "only" four knobs, which is not always clear whether to quickly change settings

if not, I find the pedal to activate not always obvious: better to focus good few seconds to press strongly (forget the taps)
On the other hand, it prevents the trigger by mistake when we play songs that often alternate clean and distortion

SOUND QUALITY

Personally, I play metal (lots of Metallica)
so I use the essentiellemnt distos, not overdrive
try to have the original, I find the TS9 simulations, metal area and excellent big muff
I do not know others but I really like the metal master, which I guess should be close to the true (digitech)

I must say that most are not distos of kids lol
I love the fact of not being limited to one type of distortion: I can really get the sound I'm looking for every song, even if it sometimes takes time

as stated in an earlier opinion, I like the fact that it does not alter the sound of the amp: it seems that the distortion of the amplifier is
Moreover, no worries when it is inactive: it retains the original sound of the amp

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months with a Vox AD15VT
I love the versatility it gives me: coupled to different types of vox amp, I have a huge range that allows me to play almost any type of music

I found the distos my amp a bit feeble for metal, and I found my happiness here
I paid 140 euros to my usual dealer: I would have been much cheaper on the internet, but I prefer to support my little dealer advises me since I started ^ ^
but even at that price, I find the price / quality ratio very good: calculate the amount required to have the original seven pedals ...
