Oh yes! Simply monstrous this pedal. Say I wanted to change the amp ...

Analog bass pedal true-by
Three buttons: volume, drive, tone
1 small switch for three different contours: neutral to left, bumped in the middle (boost mediums), scooped right (medium dug)
FX has a link that allows theoretically enable or disable another pedal at the same time (I am not using this stuff)

Simple and effective. On this kind of pedal, and at this price, I regret that there is no more EQ settings.

Note that the power is Boss type 9V or 18V on the same entrèe: I have not tried the 18V.

Wired by hand in the USA, with serial number handwritten (the claaaaaasssse) comes in a nice cardboard box with a foam that protects well.

UTILIZATION

Well it's very simple, you plug it sounds. All positions provide an excellent sound. The quality is absolutely perfect: quality switches, toggle button without "click", it breathes.
Rather, it draws on the purple, she is very beautiful on a pedalboard.
Its format is mini, ridiculous power consumption which is great: you can l (with a power brick and a power input of Boss-type without worry.
No need for manual obviously.

SOUND QUALITY

So this is where we will discuss a bit.
I am quite clear: it sounds for sure. It can range from mild distortion and clean, with a hi-gain distortion drooling. In fact the "Tone" button is a real tone, ie it makes its own or very open and there it drools a lot.

I will say this is one of the best in the compact class analog. But I can not find her a lamp provided (compared with a Blackstar HT Dual which is a pre-tube amp but weighs 1.2 kg and consumes 22 V).

Matter of taste: it lacks a little low for me and a little compression, so lacks a bit of depth to my ears.

Finally, zero wind, making it a great pedal in terms of game

Here it sounds great but for the price ...

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it because it was one of the most expensive with a compact size, which is important to me. This is probably one of the best in this format.
But strangely, I'm not in love so far despite a very good sound.
I do not know, lack of personality.
Tested on Strat (with humbucker above) and a small amp, I used it a few days and returned because the price / quality ratio is no more than 200 € is too expensive.

I will continue my search for the distortion pedal that will suit me. I've tested the Ibanez Tube King, the Blackstar HT Dual (both excellent but monsters size, weight and power consolidated) Fullbore metal ...

Made in USA
solid.
switch also solid.

true bypass.

UTILIZATION

A grain typed lamp very surprising for analog. Good job really ..

SOUND QUALITY

On top of all that I could try in the world of a small stack pedals but do not require a power supply ..

OVERALL OPINION

A rumor on the net as what she shod of noise, even with humbuckers ....
I therefore demented; no parasites seen this is very clean and pro ..

At low speeds the grain crunch is also very well .. A substance that oats, believe me ..

Damper on the idea of ​​voicing 3 which one can hardly see the difference ..

disto 9/18v
switch with three positions for the grain of the distortion tone + - level - distortion

UTILIZATION

effective settings
I usually do not grow too much distortion because I want the sound jazz rock th position switch on the left suits me perfectly.
The demos I've seen online show examples rock heavy, well you can get softer sounds that suit other styles of music.
Exactly what I was looking.

SOUND QUALITY

Without doubt the best distortion that I had in my possession

- Very good transparency
- Ç'est own it does not bleed
- Disto classic and modern depending on the position of the switch


I use it for 3 days and the big plus is a sound that does not betray the guitar, it's true we identify the instrument well.
This is important as a disto classic when you push the notes are denatured shouilla a fake - the non-
We get a rich sound with a quick response without the side of his bees (like the old electro harmonix)

breath if taken it back, there is one little ç'est but very correct because this pedal has a huge gain so we just settle without being there and the margin.

OVERALL OPINION

It adapts to any style from blues to heavy metal in the most abominable way not jazz rock.

How would you rate the quality / price?
well it's expensive but it is the top

Distortion pedal made in United States at Mr. Suhr.

UTILIZATION

Ultra simple configuration! You plug it sounds. And what a sound!

SOUND QUALITY

Used between a Gibson Les Paul and a messa boogie lone star special.
This is the most beautiful distorted sound that I have never heard. Accurate, singing, I rediscover my guitar. I want to do him justice, I found him absolutely no breath. We must pay attention to wiring. C is a distortion made to be used on a clear sound.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for a month. Before her, I passed by DS1, big muff, black star ht dual ect ... nothing to do! If I lose tomorrow, I bought the day after tomorrow. It is not given ... but c is for life ...

See data sheet

UTILIZATION

The use is that of a classic distortion pedals of a knob for volume and another for gain and one tone.
And it also has a switch that changes the timbre of the sound.
After she appeared to have some other functionality but I have not yet identified the Russian ...

I put 8 because I would love more precision of 1 or 2 things from the manufacturer.

SOUND QUALITY

I use a Deluxe Start HSS with a blues junior.
So good if the sounds are effective, responsive and ralistes, I would say that at least so ca ...

Talking about magic ...
This switch pedals 3positions that changes the timbre of his knowledge, his own position and a right prcis I've ever seen on a distortion pedals of the fortnight I look. Then we move to the center has a sound like typical ACDC and left her still a + "dirty" old.
Compared the management of the gain, it's really nice because at least it was a jug of distortion, with my simple microphone ca makes for really good ballads.
The PDAL is really subtle trs I think because the act of placing a micro single or double, depending on the position of the switch "voice" compltement change the intensity of the distortion and not just nervosa of sound.
Then the gain medium and let's say three-quarters, I get even with a beh blues junior have a clean and plutt prcis the mtallica and I'm really pleased dessus.Pour as long as you turn the tone knob strong acute ca accentuates the clean prcis clear we will say.
To the rumors below it blows, for my part I have not a breath with 5 master so good, not breathing on Miss riot ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two weeks and currently is the only distortion pedals of which I saw and did a clean prcis.Et plus she still has two more under the hood sounds so good ...
What I like least beh I know that it must be removed 4vis to change the battery, nothing else I Drang.

The value for money, 10/10 handmade pedal so good ... (Gold has not declined)

Conclusion I just acqurir and I am so pleased that I want to test the shiba dribs: p. ..

Handbuilt in the USA as far as I know, high gain distortion box meant to be a stack in a box. Meaning you can plug this into any small clean tube amp or big clean tube amp and still get a huge usable stack-like sound.

Dist, level and tone knobs with the true bypass switch and also a 3 way mini toggle that shapes the midrange.

Also includes an FX link, so you can remotely control the pedal to turn on or off with other switching devices.

ALSO the LED itself will flash if the battery is draining. How cool is that?

Regular 9v operation, I think my only beef about this pedal is the 3 way midrange toggle, these are basically preset midrange sounds I sort of wish it was a knob so it was sweepable but that's just my thing.

UTILIZATION

Pretty simple, just like any other normal distortion box! Plug it in, turn the knobs and tweak till it sounds good!

SOUND QUALITY

So how does it sound? Pretty damn good for what it is. This is probably one of, if not the only distortion pedal that actually doesn't sound like a distortion pedal and sounds as close to as amp distortion that I've ever heard. It doesn't sound boxy, or fizzy or ice-picky it sounds thick, big, rich and warm. The dynamics are also all there, if you pick lightly it shows. In terms of distortion it sounds very organic, and very very usable and amp-like.

One thing I want to comment on is the actual type of distortion, what does it sound like? A vintage amp? Or a modern amp? It sounds like a Suhr amp, which I feel tonally, tends to sit in between a vintage and modern sounding amp, leaning a bit more towards a modern sound. So this is where some people may or may not like it. Some players do not like the suhr sound, while others love it. So this is where it was hit or miss with me and I unfortunately do generally prefer a sort of high gain vintage sound and this pedal was not that. That's why I didn't keep it.

But as stated I can understand and respect the tone it delivers and it does still sound amazing compared to regular distortion boxes. This is definitely one of a kind and I can see why it's become so popular. Try adding an overdrive pedal with it and maxing just the level you'll get awesome super metal sounds!!


OVERALL OPINION

Great pedal. One of the best sounding high gain pedals in the market today. Use it with a boost to get yourself into metal territory you're golden. I like how it was intently designed to work with clean amps but I almost wish it was made to work with more, but I'm selfish like that. Otherwise the Riot would've been a near perfect distortion pedal to use for every type of rig out there.

The fact that one can get such a great sounding pedal without needing any tubes or special adapters etc makes it a plus!!

See website, reviews, youtube etc. ...

UTILIZATION

No need to have a Ph.D.

SOUND QUALITY

So let me explain for those who want to jump at my throat for the relatively low rating.
The sound of the riot Suhr is magnificent. No problem with that. Heavy and subtle at once. Clear, airy, very beautiful, very pure. It's a real treat.
But it is improper to limit sell a pedal that does the same breath ... Frankly, I was disgusted.
It is the most beautiful sound I have ever heard but I could not enjoy more volume 2 on my Laney Lionheart.
I am not exaggerating, that the limit of the scandal. So I do not know if that's the Lionheart who do not tolerate high gain pedal but it goes perfectly with my MXR Dime Distortion miserable. So I think this is the Suhr. I wonder if it does not come from the fact that the EL84 address both the clean and distorted sound ... I changed my preamp lamps and also they are not responsible for the blast ...
Add a friend also has the same problem on his mesa boogie lonestar. Katherina is in his amp ...
So now, I just wanted to prevent. A pedal with great sound if we leave aside the breath. The only problem is we can not ignore because it is so noisy.
Try it in the store with the same hardware than you have. Otherwise, beware of surprises ...
'm Disgusted, I liked this pedal me: (

So, if anyone can advise me a breathless high gain pedal (my primary criterion for selection ...)
I thought about Okko Dominator, the Weehbo Morbid Drive and Earthbound Audio SuperCollider.
All opinions are welcome ...



OVERALL OPINION

I regret having bought it in the sense that I lost 40 euros between purchase and resale ...
The Suhr might be the best high gain pedal, but the market has really dropped the ball on Suhr breath ...
I can not explain it.

Analog distortion
Fly - Drive - Tone
Switch 3 positions "Voice"
A very good switch on / off
Mini-jack connector for steering outdoors

UTILIZATION

Using simple arch
Small explanatory note included with.
Supplied 9V pedal!
To install it, however, must open the pedal to the screwdriver ... Distortion

SOUND QUALITY

FANTASTIC!
All the notes sound perfect. No sound mush.
Ca transperse the mix as not allowed.
It screams! whatever amp or guitar.
It's really high gain pedal format. There is a wealth sky is clear and incredibly warm. You really sound super saturated and warm as a stack tt lamp. Bluff!
A dynamic all evidence. It ragit beautifully with diffrence attacks and rglage volume of the guitar.

The three "voices" are articulated as follows:
- Left: very sharp, more spectrum Strait, very sharp and snapping, less saturbr /> - center: the broader spectrum, the "ar", a little runny
- Right: very specific on its most compressed, more grain resserrbr />
We must admit that it blows a lot. With a gate, it's OK. Live and making his home studio, was not noticeable. (-1 Point)

It saturates very quickly. The little crunch is attained only grant the attack and the volume of APRS me. But a good drive when same potential.
The tonality is very effective too.

Its low on the CH3 Pramper CAE 3 + SE apparently ...
For the type of sound, so it will be understood that this is not vintage (60's-70's) is not modern, it Plutt typ 80's-90's!

APRS me is the only pedal that combines great clarity and saturation-dynamic-heat.

OVERALL OPINION

's Really what I was looking for. I'm almost with a sr keep my sound on diverse systm (RPTES, concerts, etc. ...) I have tried in recent weeks on several combinations and respects well the gear.
This pedal torque Sardine Can Celmo my compressor and I have his "liquid" that pierces the mix in all situations. The combination is formidable and reassure you about your sound o you are.
I am a minimalist Plutt (its clear, its saturated and that's all). With this pedal you can grate a bunch of shades within a same song.
I use even more drive channel of my amp. This pedal has the exclusivity of my overdrive! Ca rsum potential I think.
A killer!
