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"
I use this with a Fender Baja Telecaster. To me, a delay works better with a clean/crispy :) For a delay, it takes very little current : 200mA. As for voltage, it’s a standard 9V. Esthetically, …
DigiTech Trio+ Band Creator + Looper - "I'm now just a "Hysteric Audience Creator" (HAC) away from stardom !!!"
Hi to all, it is it is a privilege and an honour – and my pleasure – to be the first to share my opinion on this device. HOW I USE IT: no doubt about it, it’s not tailored for live situations but …
TC Electronic Ditto X4 - "Made for instant playing"
I tried it in a mixed setup : with a Flashback X4 and its looper followed by a Vox VDL 1 Looper then into Ditto. The pros : - Couldn't be more intuitive. You choose from either serial of para…
Marshall GV-2 Guv'nor Plus - "It Has The Missing ingredient"
I have tested the Marshall Guvnor 2 and it will soon be on my pedal board. My pedal board has 47 pedals on it and I use them all. I am in a 3 piece Indie alternative band. We do all our own tunes. I…
DigiTech Obscura Altered Delay - "A great -but complicated- delay pedal"
Digitech’s Obscura Altered delay pedal is – as its name suggests – an “altered” delay, offering several possibilities which can make its use all the more complex. It is a digital delay with an ana…
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…
Electro-Harmonix Cock Fight - "A very average sound"
I tried this pedal with an Ibanez js1000 on a peavy delta blues. Beware, this is NOT an auto-wah. It takes an additional expression pedal plugged in the dedicated input. I tried it for a clean so…
