Analog distortion.
Three levels of distortion (Hot, Melt, Burn).
One Input, Output one, and 9V battery-powered or 9V power supply (mini-jack, such as Electro-Harmonix).
4 knobs: Distortion, Scoop (used to dig the medium), Tone, and Volume.
A 3-position switch for 3 levels of distortion
UTILIZATION
The general configuration is simple.
Must spend some time on set to find the sounds that kill everything, but once found, it is ecstasy!
The knobs are progressive, and when you turn a knob a little, there a difference in the sound, unlike some other brands.
The switch is a bit brutal, but you get done.
The case is the strongest and most convenient pedal that I had for now.
It's a bit heavy, and must admit it is a bit ugly this pedal, but it does well
SOUND QUALITY
Then there is the strong point!
I was stuck when I tried this pedal!
Already, the Solo is a sound of madness, not synthetic for a penny (bye Boss!), It's hot, it couillu, it wakes you up a cemetery full! It's like really with the distortion of an all-tube amp pushed well!
What's great also is that it is very versatile. The overdrive is terrible (that's my opinion, and fan TS9 do not end up there I think), we not lose momentum, it's very nice. The slight distortion (see a little less light) already sends the wood by altering the tone is reached sounds really interesting (the crunchy sound dull style stoner), but between the two is the seventh heaven! And when you arrive (in town, the whole world is changing sidewalk! Oula, I had a return of Balavoine) I said when we get to the big distortion, there is the Apocalypse! The palm mute stand out too well, it was a big sound to pull the string of Paris Hilton at the other end of the Earth (if it has one: p).
on the other hand I know why they called "Solo", because personally, I find that it is slightly better than solo rhythm (although it's great solo, too).
Well, must be prevented, but the grain Proco, so you must try it before you buy!
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 3 months.
What I like most about this pedal? Just about everything. The rugged, warm and dynamic sound, which sends many potatoes, versatility, ...
I tried a lot of distortion and overdrive before buying one: Boss (BD-2, OS-2, OD-3, DS-1), MXR Disto +, Proco (RAT 2, You Dirty Rat, Turbo Rat). The Boss: too synthetic, cold enough, and enough knobs progressive. The MXR is a total crap, a bee, you can not play properly with it. The Proco are fine, but Solo was more versatile, so I took it.
The price of this pedal is slightly high, but if not go Gillou (www.audiotubetech.com (http://www.audiotubetech.com)), we can have it at € 120. At that price, and given the quality of the pedal, I think it's as honest price.
With experience, I do it again this choice, of course!
(I may even buy me another, that way I'll have one for the overdrive and distortion for a)
