«  A big fat reserves distortion »

Analog distortion
It is red, there are buttons, they can rotate, it's magic. Seems that you can plug a guitar top, it does not stop progress.
Ah yes, it's Australian. Who cares really, as it looks solid. And then I looked for a valve to do with it, but I have not found then we jump to the next chapter. Zou!

(Oh yes, "we jump" as kangaroos, go I keep that one)

UTILIZATION

A large volume knob, a big win button, it should not be too complicated. Oh yes, there are switches (two) and pimples (also two) below the big. But what can it be used for? Mmmmhhh suspense is unbearable ...
Well it changes the sound, sometimes drastically:
- The switch lo / hi is the degree of saturax, it speaks for itself
- Comp the switch corresponds to the degree of compression, with level 3. Please note, in addition to sound itself, it changes the output volume, we can be very scary. When we know it gets better.
- The presence and the tone will play both on the tones, with a good range of action. Personally, I leave at noon.

Attention on the site Mi-Audio, the power supply is given to be positive center. This is false: it's classic negative center, as shown in the same box of the pedal. And that's good, you can use your standard power supply.

SOUND QUALITY

Sounds good, really. It goes from clean to overdrive a little mega saturation. With the right EQ, you can tu metal, it's not bad at all that.
Lo in position, it was bluesy sounds range knob, that's fine too.
Depending on the gear you put behind and especially when you put the gain well in the area, it may have a small tendency to fuzz effect I'm not a fan. Do not abuse the gain and play well on the tones so.
I'm used to big sound on models of our compositions, it does.
Note that tone knobs at noon and gain at 0, I found a small alteration in the sound, it has not appeared to be total transparency, but personally, I'm not a purist, I rock!
;-)

OVERALL OPINION

Used at home for a few days, plugged into a Mesa DC5 or a Torpedo CAB to model.
I have other pedals saturation, this one has its own personality, that's fine.
Store-bought in Paris, I could try it so I have no surprises. It is not too expensive, it is usable with a range of satu fairly consistent, it will perhaps join my pedalboard naughty!
