«  Nice but is not its name »

of distortion pedal classic three pots (volume, tone and gain). 9v AC outlet. true bypass

metal box that exudes solid. and color rather nice.

I found the location of the power supply plug to properly bond embarrassing his pedals.

UTILIZATION

very simple. I wanted a distortion that sounded better than a boss and I realized that this was the best result with little gain for another boost pedal or drive the amp.

will gain crunch "means" good little distortion to the 70's. Do not expect to find a huge reserve of gain. Distortion III the name is misleading, here we are in the presence of a muscular overdrive.

knob the tone and gain are very progressive but I missed the closeness of the beach (not enough substance and too mini), which reduces its capabilities. to the volume when it makes a big jump to 13h (where we find the volume bypassed) which makes it difficult to adjust.

SOUND QUALITY

one of which has his hand to a bit of tone and gain.

Its vintage style 70's, it smells the led zep. the grain is nice, plus a super overdrive Boss but cooler than the drive channel of my amp (lionheart lamp).
according regulate according to him you can even find a bluesy side very nice. (I have a P90 handle that love it!)

For my part, I used to have a grain different from the amp (it is set to have pretty nearly the same gain) and I boost Fulltone OCD with one to give it a modern and acidity that demand contemporary music.

therefore giving the MXR for the 70's, 80's for ocd, and 2 for the 90's and 2000.

OVERALL OPINION

used for 1 year, this is the pedal + "cheap" my PB but it remains. Bosses, they have been less fortunate. the Bypass is true for many.

In short: a very good alternative to sd2 a 2nd channel to a small single-channel all-tube, a drive to boost, it will delight lovers of blues and 70's rock, but do not expect a plant to gain her dress roge and his name foreshadowed.
