seinthomas « THE distortion pedal »
Published on 11/15/11 at 03:03Distortion pedal lamp / transistor
input, outpout, power and control knobs (with parametric medium)
All steel, super sturdy the ptiote.
UTILIZATION
The config is very simple, managing parametric midrange demand still some time to adapt when you do not know.
The knobs are really effective over their entire range, even if the gain of an issue already settled three sacred sauce with a micro active.
SOUND QUALITY
Degree of parametric pocket, we manage to spit out any style of sound this pedal.
It is not dedicated to the metal, the sound depends greatly on the guitar you have in the paws, especially on the type of microphone you use. With assets of type 81, 3 Gain on tape already in records old school thrash, with a double liability, we find the same sound with the gain set to 6 / 7. Not tried with single coil pickups.
To make it sound less violent on record, just down the microphone volume, the beast continues to sing without loss of quality but less aggressive. We can go down to the rock muscular, less than that I have not tried.
the thing I like in this pedal really is the attack of madness that it has the grain on mute to "scratch", and timbre that can go from ultra dry to round type 5150 hardcore to Hatebreed.
Lamp colors the sound so it's true, I have received from the former owner with a EHX in the trunk, and all the lights I've tried is the one with the largest dynamic in attack fairly dry and ultra tight grain. (Right now, I opted for a GE in January that offers a bit less violence in attack and a slightly less tight grain too)
As against it must be borne in mind that this is a light mix / transistor, and it shows. After 5 / 6 on the gain, we keep the side "tube" sound with more distortion on one side transistors "randall" who go out more and more of the mix, and honestly, it EXCATEMENT the sound I was looking for. It's a little accident that I found but what happiness. Find a head that will get me out the sound (except the new series Randall RV, V2, T2 etc ...) is almost impossible and certainly not for an investment so small.
Used with a Johnson JS910 EMG81/85 and equipped with a Dean ML79 L500Xl equipped with Bill Lawrence bridge, stock (Dean Zebra) for the handle.
I use this pedal on two pure transistor amps clean channel (Marshall 8240 and H & K Warp 7 head)
OVERALL OPINION
Used for 4 months, I have a banana as always crazy when I turn it on. The 8240 has a stereo chorus for his 2x12, and this distortion with the Guyatone oats really severe.
I tried a lot of models, but this little beast is the devil really has!
Assets: All
Cons: the input / output jacks original females were bitten by oxidation (10 years even when the pot) and caused a bad contact, I decided to change and it is left as 40. I analyzed a little circuit and other components, the rest is aging very well, no need to worry.
Choices to make and remake my friends!
