- Analog distortion

- in/out, DC 9V

UTILIZATION

It couldn't be easier, a pedal with 4 controls; level, tone, warp, drive. Simple and effective, the controls influence sound the way they should.

SOUND QUALITY

As mentioned already, the Warp is a rare control that gives the effect a particular touch and character. Personally, I think this effect is not very versatile, it can be used for everything and, at the same time, for nothing... Its tone is very distinctive, either you like it or you don't. Personally, I think this distortion is a bit "dirty." Nevertheless, it's a very good effect for people looking for an original and not-so-common sound. The Warp and Tone controls change everything, but the pedal's character is always there, and it's due to that distinctive tone that it lacks versatility.

OVERALL OPINION

To sum it up, either you like it or you don't, but you have to try it, that's the only way you'll form your own opinion. I give it an 8 for the originality of its tone.
