«  Good quality / price ratio for a pedal rock "roots", but not that »

Published on 06/06/12 at 07:49
Value For Money : Excellent
Analog distortion pedal. Cf the picture for description.
config + standard small switch "crunch"
Solid metal case.

UTILIZATION

Extremely simple as a distortion pedal.
The small switch "crunch" gives a boost in the midrange. You can not miss when this switch is engaged, because the blue LED that lights flashing damn.
Nothing special to say, easy to adjust.

SOUND QUALITY

I find the pedal very effective. I have not noticed any problem with the attack.
It can give a little warmth to a rather cold. It can also serve as a boost.
The directory will use the punchy blues to rock, ... the cat to the lion (of purr to roaaaar).
I particularly love with my guitar in the bridge position split (I have an SH4). Must be really nice with a strat or tele.
The group's sound engineer (who is also gratteu) told me when he heard: "Oh? Another Texan pedal!"

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 6 months. This is not a pedal that will revolutionize the distortion, however, it does not invent anything. But this is a pedal that offers sound we know and love at a great price.
Choice again? Certainly though ... I might go looking sidewise at the Badass Custom Modified ... Try it.
Unless moving average weights to another category, the heavyweight with a Xotic AC Booster?
