I do not like the position of the power input.

UTILIZATION

Config and simple little more appreciable the swich crunch. I leave it always switched on.

SOUND QUALITY

I think it's a distortion that sounds rather round and warm, fairly accurate with a good presence of mediums. I have not heard of too much compression as some say. It goes well with a light amplifier on a clean channel but a little less of a crunch or overdrive channel. In this case it sounds a bit too dark.
Equipped to Roxane on my humbuncker and sh2 sh4, it sends hot and heavy on my Telecaster, it's incisive and biting. It can lower the gain and have a fairly punchy crunch or a big boost.
With two guitars, a clean sound fendérien, sleep easily mix live.
Good point, max gain it does not become an infamous boiled. But hey it all depends on the amp and guitar without doubt ...
Sonnorités very 70's rock.

OVERALL OPINION

A good little pedal, a bit expensive but that perfectly accommodates a lamp with an amp like Fender clean sound. It can complement an amp already has a good crunch because its sonnorité malleable enough without being too typical.
I'm not disappointed even if it does not revolutionize the world of DSTO. Effective, it is essential to good rock.
