«  A try before you buy ... »

Published on 08/09/11 at 04:47
Soft distortion pedal.
Three knobs: Volume, Tone, Drive.
9V DC or battery type boss.

UTILIZATION

Very simple manual showing two / three typical settings.
The buttons are very soft and turns too easily.
Solid aluminum enclosure.

SOUND QUALITY

So here the sound quality is just not to go.
This is not an overdrive or distortion really, is not the grain and the gain either.
The reserve volume is important.
Tone inneficace and usable only between 10 and 14h.
The Drive is it effective but anyway the pedal does not sound is loud.
I tested it in different configurations but it has never sounded so good to my taste. (I own an Epiphone VJ)
Maybe she does not fit my equipment ... but I doubt!

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it without trying it and I made a mistake, I will not repeat that choice.
For less expensive it gets better: like the Boss DS1 among other ...
Try before you buy absolutely can be that it could certainly appeal to you on some hardware ...
