Neunaber Technology Seraphim Mono Shimmer - "A superb shimmer effect !!"

Ibanez SC10 Super Stereo Chorus - "Nice Analog Chorus"
This is the next generation of Ibanez chorus after the very good cs9. Very close sounding to the CS9 but with the addition of a delay time knob. This pedal is just as solid as its predecessor, made…
Electro-Harmonix Big Muff v4 - "A "traditional" distortion pedal."
A "traditional" distortion pedal. It differs from other Big Muffs as it doesn’t have the usual solid state circuit but two op amps : a JRC4558 – the same the Tubescreamer has – and a µA741, making i…
Boss DD-500 Digital Delay - "A very good, versatile pedal ! A very good Delay"

Maxon OD-820 Overdrive Pro - "A very good Maxon unit"
It's an OD stompbox in the purest Japanese tradition, used on guitars and synths, it makes both tube and solid state sounds shine, can't be compared directly with models from different ranges and/or …
Harley Benton Boogie Master - "Not bad"
A rendition of the MESA BOOGIE American amp sound. I'm not that much into that kind of sounds, but I admit it has some advantages, so I'll be totally neutral. Only 4 control knobs: gain / tone / v…
TC Electronic Helix Phaser - "Best of both (phaser) worlds !"
After a long hesitation with the MXRs (especially 90 script and logo models) and the EH Small Stone, I came across (through forums, videos...) this gorgeous, all dressed in yellow TC Helix which look…
