Pedal Ultra-distortion analog without lamp dedicated to metal.
The pedal is very small (about the size of a mini box of sardines), but it rocks!
3 portards on top:
- Output (output gain), as is the high gain it is best not to put it back because the volume is too loud
- Freq: the frequency of distortion. I used it not too early but in hindsight I realized that putting the gain at 10:00 and at 2:00 it was pretty trashy oriented sound, while with the freq at 4:00 and at 9:00 we gain find a more 80's metal
- Gain: the gain. we can push it very far and playing with different settings all have some type of metal distortion.
3 portards on the bottom: low to mid high equalizer. It should be noted that even qd-pedal spits a lot of treble.
2 mini switch: noise gate (which can settle with the screw inside the pedal, but you have to open the pedal), and the scoop that boosts bass and treble
I personally always leave the 2 switched, because without the noise gate pedal tends to blow and to get a little noisy. As the noise gate is set high it cuts the sustain, so I dropped the noise gate, opening the pedal to the left approximately 1 / 4. Without the scoop I found the sound of the pedal not terrible
UTILIZATION
Setup is very simple, but you still would seek a bit to find a palette of different sounds. Once that is branch-qd the very same big sound, with distortion and a very sharp sound very bad when you push the gain beyond 10:00.
The manual is very brief, it serves qd-even a little to explain how it works, since it is a little + button on a regular distortion.
SOUND QUALITY
Very big sound, metal pedal really typed in my opinion, it will be difficult to use on another level music. When I connected I'm afraid, it's really aggressive and hope the sound does not bleed.
I use it with an Ibanez Prestige 3120 (DiMarzio PAF Pro + Tonezone so large output level) and a Marshall Lead 100 Mosfet. It's been really bad. We leave the big trash or cutting riffs, nothing wrong. on the other hand I think buying a programmable equalizer because even with a very low level of acute pedal, I am forced to go low and greatly lower the treble of the amp, otherwise it too. A test on another amp to see if it's the same.
I put 9 for the treble, but it's really to quibble because it is not far from 10.
OVERALL OPINION
Purchased 3 months ago. I tried Satchurator that seemed less aggressive, I also MXR double shot which is not bad but not for the metal. With Fullbore is nirvana for fans of metal, I buy it back without a problem because without having tested many other metal pedals seems to me that one really well done with excellent sound. I could not believe it when I connected, I thought I never find that sound without investing several hundred dollars in some gear, but finally with this pedal there is not need much + if you want sth that must fit inside.
