«  pretty good, but not all .... config! »

This is an overdrive that goes to the consequent distortion rock / hard rock but not metal

Effect pedal non-editable analog priori

Good construction, although it is a little surprised by its small thickness compared to other pedals but it is not too bad if you put it in the first rank of pedal board

no, not only for MIDI in / out only

UTILIZATION

config is derived from the Crunch box with more advanced and broader functions

the core is the volume knob and gain and tone

In addition, this version of "Super" a knob has a position lo / hi gain and position
compressor

So a priori quite possible amongst different settings between all

No edition planned

SOUND QUALITY

Overdrive and distortion effects are quite effective over the counter completes the whole.

Good results in terms of gain, although it is not intended for the metal and extreme.

Made for guitar and should be made that .... for that.

The problem is that a system (highly crystalline Fender) it goes in very bright with a tendency to side in a fuzz sound.

And, even with inverters "tone" and "presence" at its lowest setting, it definitely loses its characteristic grain and its qualities of openness and brightness, and it should better marry a less clear by Marshall amp ex ... Question association restitution.

So it is not the universal pedal, despite its qualities, I have not found enough body to return, at least in my config.

Therefore imperative to try because it is not so important opportunities versatility that necessarily arrange everything, so I thought a little at first!

The "compressor" function is useless for me (because I have the Empress Compressor much higher) but can help, who does not!

OVERALL OPINION

Actually, I did not keep, because I know my system, and a single use me enough to tell me that my config was not here, and it returns, alas in the box.

Most: the range of possibilities

The less the refund and tonal balance very focused mid / treble missing body and made a few high gain fuzz.
The knobs "Tone" and "Presence" would be like pus cream Volume and gain, because it is not too easy to act on those tiny buttons especially with big paws

This side & the Midnight Red Stone gray (very precise WWith a specific tight grain) Mad Professor, seems much more balanced (it also has a great comparative crunch / red midnight on youtube.

R / Q / P is very good building made in Austria and extended possibilities.

I will not repeat that choice, since it does not suit me,
but I do not recommend it for all but

For the record, his cousin Mi n'buff Boost (boost / buffer) with 3 modes boost seemed more universal (and therefore much less critical coupling) and much more attractive with 35db of gain!

So beware of bad associations, and include in not too clear config in terms of tonal balance.
