The pedal offers an overdrive mode and mode distortion.
No editor, everything is at your fingertips.
Original hyper-connectivity: in and out ...
This is a posable model down and disposable under your foot!

UTILIZATION

It's a pedal that requires in my view at least a degree in quantum physics: and yes, you have to press the button with his foot (right or left, careful not both at once) while playing the guitar with both hands.
The knobs are beautiful and the more they are used to something! Attention, a slight shift of a few nanometers can drastically alter the sound.
The manual ... ah yes, the manual! I'm sorry, I left school after graduation from quantum physics so I can not press the button with your foot, playing the guitar with both hands and flip on top of that a manual!

SOUND QUALITY

Let's be serious: it's a great pedal to sound dirty. The range available is impressive (that's what determined my choice) because you can go from light crunch to distortion greasy. There is also a function contour seems to me he acts as a kind of filter on the sound and allows you to scan the edge of very heavy.
It is essentially a fact that I use with a guitar, but I have to plug a synth also.

OVERALL OPINION

I had to get it around 2003, like I said I was attracted by its vast sonic palette. In the shop where I bought it, I remember having with her sister compared the Blues Breaker. But it seemed more limited (good sound in the crunch, overdrive, but less aggressive than Jack Hammer as it was to increase the gain). This is my first and my only distortion pedal (I was using before the saturation of my Peavey).
I am totally satisfied. I think there is a debate on its ability to spit sounds good nag. Must try is the only way to realize. I think she can get away in all areas including making sounds of a pneumatic drill. And besides, she's beautiful!
