eulflaike « The distortion that would overdrive .. »
Published on 03/31/14 at 11:23Distortion pedal
Analog
1 input and 1 output
1 9V connector
1 ON / OFF switch
UTILIZATION
Config 'very simple: three knobs: Distortion, Tone Output + 1 switch "Crunch"
No manual on the purchase, but not required, it is a pedal effect ...
SOUND QUALITY
Instruments: Gibson SG '61 in 496R/500T and Epiphone LP Studio SH-1/SH-8
This is a distortion pedal a bit special. It has its grain, which is very personal. This is a distortion but, for me, is used in a spirit of "overdrive".
The sound is powerful and bold. It sends strong enough, but at the same time, it drool. The "crunch" switch is a kind of boost but that does not really change the grain or the signal, it just adds a little power.
Gain mini without the "crunch" mode is already more saturated than traditional OD. However, I rather use it in that spirit. Like a OD on steroids.
on the other hand, attention to Tone knob. If you go to the treble, beyond a certain point, mediums come out too, and the sound quality drops, it gets a little too loud. But nothing to do with the side "Bee" some distortion as the Boss MT-2.
This is probably not a pedal to the metal clean and surgical. It is the opposite of that. It is suitable for most well edgy rock or punk. Or, in the spirit of metal productions Ross Robinson 90s (1st album Korn, Soulfly album 1)
To summarize, I would say it is as powerful as a distortion, and Garsse as an overdrive.
OVERALL OPINION
I have a few months. This is not the pedal that I use the most because I prefer the mixture OD + saturation of the amp (Orange Jim Root, JCM800), but I like to connect from time to time.
She really has an identity to it, a very special grain.
Paid € 50 in Cygnus' in new condition, I do not regret that choice. But because of this particular grain, I really recommend trying before you buy.
