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.
