This is an analog distortion pedal (transo), with in and out jack classical supplied 9v

UTILIZATION

It can not be simpler, a tone knob, a volume knob, a distortion knob, and a foot switch.

The reading of the manual is useless, it's stupid as rain use

SOUND QUALITY

I use an Epiphone LP Standard, original pickups, all in a Blackstar HT5 on the clean channel. I have a Vox Ice 9 OD I also used as a boost, the marriage of two (Ice9 in boost and mxr disto) works pretty well.

To return to the previous review, I'd say it's a classic rock sound, rather 80's or 90's. March well on AC DC, guns, guts of Led Zeppelin, Metallica to the limit. The sound is loaded medium, and grain rather rich, organic.

It does not stick with the hardcore metal, seems to me - it does. In any case I have the MXR Fullbore which is perfect for playing small singer with Iron Cross

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week. This is what I was looking for classic rock, at least it seems to me.

We have the same style of distortion on the HT5 (respect the character of the amp), but with a grain "tighter" and richer, so that the distortion + lead channel of the amp, which to me looks more a big OD. Pedal so take a dose of extra sito without killing the amp.

I had a DS1 before, I would say that this pedal is in the same tone, but with a fuller sound with a bit more possible gain.

I tried the yellow sister distortion and distortion + III (red) who seemed well below. Less gain in any case, nothing beats an OD or OD channel of the amp to sound crunch (ie loguique same time!)


Clearly, if you want to play Angus edgy or slash Version You Could Be Mine, it does. to death, take a look at the Fullbore
