For the description, everything has been said. It's solid, well designed, very ergonomic.
UTILIZATION
The operation is very simple to understand. No worries on that side. The knobs are easy to read.
SOUND QUALITY
The sound is superb, very hot, with lots of harmonics. I use it with an LP or a Start, a Bogner amp. The overdrive is more dirty, more blues than the Bogner, it allows for an extra sound. One plus is the very gradual gain staging, which allows all types of classic distortion, that is to say, with relatively little gain. Bass and treble settings are most effective that I have heard! You can also set the midrange, allowing her to have a fairly Marshall, even if the amp which inspired this pedal is the Bassman. Its beautiful and much warmer than my Line6 and natural crunch that will "blend" not so much the grain of the amp. on the other hand, as mentioned above, the volume control is not always easy, due to the interaction of different settings. For example with the LP, I set one overdrive barely stronger than the clear sound of the amp, I plug my Start, the volume is much louder than the sound clear ... Another flaw: it goes very quickly feedback. Much more than the overdrive of Bogner, even if I put some treble.
A transistor amp, it is less relevant. Finally, it is not a tube screamer, it makes very clear on her (including that of Bogner is very pure and slightly compressed), a saturated sound, it sounds quickly boiled.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for four months, it's expensive, but I think it's justified because it has great sound and a wide variety of settings. The main handicap is the tendency to feedback (unless you research it) and adjusting the volume, but it comes out easily. It is ideal for the distortion vintage sound, between crunch and overdrive. Of course, we need the rest of the material to follow. I tested the mid-range gear, the sound was not great, a Maxon overdrive was doing better. I guess there are other excellent pedals lamps (Badcat, Maxon, Soldano ...) I have not tried everything.
