Overdrive / Distortion Analog
Type: vintage

UTILIZATION

Rglages quite usual for a disto: volume, tone and gain.
And the little extra that makes all the Difference: the warp (mix of odd and even harmonics, or transistor and lamps as explained redbox).
Like all distos, it takes some fiddling to find the sounds or INTERESTED. This pedals is enough music in the same rglages the most extreme.
SETTING THE The drive is quite spectacular because even zero, the gain is quite lev (zero-gain is more than the lev CompTortion the drive back!). Maximum distortion is a dense trs. The range between these two extremes rglages offers many possibilities INTERESTED.
Unlike redbox, I do not need dvisser anything to put the battery. Yet I bought this PDAL there are 6 or 7 years so it's one of Premire ditions. Production t shall adopt and then to start a year ago or two. A model for low-XXL also available. I do not know if new versions are Different.

SOUND QUALITY

My first purchase from Tech 21 and I am not surprised t trs trs spcial grain of distortion. I rarely heard in a disto pedals have a nuance and sound so hot. It can affect the density of sound in his attacks nuan Manir efficient trs which show that the pedals is quite sensitive.
The sound is not suitable for metal fans as it is quite dirty, dlicieusement imprcis, very low mdiums and lack of breaks. But what are all the ingrdients that make this love pedals. The Warp gnre pushed back a beautiful fuzz that would sound almost like a trumpet. One has the impression that some notes are tufts and hyper round while others stand much more. This provides a sound rich in nuance and trs original. In addition, it is readily apparent in a mix.
APRS good exprience in the Tech 21, I also bought a Double Drive and a Trademark 60 amp. I am a big fan of the grain of the brand.

OVERALL OPINION

An original pedals and TRS type (srement too much for some). I think it's one of the best distortion pedals as I had the opportunity to try.
I recall, the versatility is not its strong point, but try the pedals if you have the chance!
