Brief description already mentioned repeatedly:
Gain control
Setting EQ: Low, High and medium with a frequency adjustment for the latter
Volume control
Supply 12VDC
Tube distortion pedal (a 12AX7 it seems to me)
UTILIZATION
Is a distortion pedal, no need for manual ....
SOUND QUALITY
So I bought this pedal without having tested and used. Well I do not regret my choice.
I use it on a tube amp that I built (a G5) and frankly it sounds god of fire.
The sound is warm (maybe being in any lamps), the pots are responding pretty well, all the harmonics emerge alone. The grain is relatively tight. This is a really good distortion for metal.
Note that the greater the volume or gain more than it blows and it means a lot. I want to say: Gate mandatory! Apart from that I have not much to criticize this pedal ... one could say it's a bit expensive but honestly it's worth it!
I also had my first try on a Behringer GX110 amp has transistors, it was very ugly. I sincerely believe that it should not react like the type of amp, like any pedal, but it's really obvious. I should add that I had also tested on an amp Line 6 modeling (I can not remember the model) was better than the Behringer but much less than my all lamps ....
I found (in my experience) that to use this pedal on a tube amp or so on a very good transistors. Anyway there is no secret, the sound is always the image of the weakest link, it was nice to put a super distortion, but a rotten amp, it sounds like the amp "rotten". Unless I hear otherwise.
PS: I put a Boss HM2 series ...... and we go for a good Swedish death metal, huge! what resemblance! on the other hand Gate MANDATORY there.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 1 year. I tried a Line 6 Uber Metal, fortunately I did not price this stuff, it sounds artificial and synthetic super side.
I love the color it gives the sound a little color and personality without having something far too typical. The sound is great, I can not get enough.
Given the quality of the distortion and the price of some less good, if not excessive.
I remake that choice without hesitation
