The pedal is sturdy, the battery is integrated. It is also recommended in the manual to disconnect the input to avoid premature wear of it.
There are four knobs and a footswitch on the top of the pedal.
The pedal box is also direct, convenient to connect directly to a console (for clean sounds). We just set the input type (high or low) and choose to connect or not ground to land with two small push button next to the connector.
+ Out jack and an XLR with phantom power.

UTILIZATION

The manual (in English) gives a good overview of the pedal technique, how it works in theory. However there or not as presets for some pedals, which is normal! The goal is to beautify the sound, making it more now, and adjustments must be based on the material used! It is normal not to have settings in the manual.
On first use I put the board potentiometer 12, to trigger the effect, play a while and then try to remove the effect. At this point we realize that something is missing in the sound, it is this month! This effect takes work to be well adjusted, just like a compression example.
The proposed effect is unique, we add harmonics, the rendering is beautiful, especially for clear sound that brings the sound of an acoustic guitar (not a simulation attention). The adjustment takes time and is not necessarily very intuitive. I put it to 9

SOUND QUALITY

Certainly embellished the sound if you take the time to adjust the pedal according to its stuff.

OVERALL OPINION

In short, we realize that this pedal is needed quickly!
If you must criticize one thing I would say the plastic box that comes, not very classy.
To my knowledge this is the only pedal that offers this technology also accomplished!
I bought 90 new Euro. I would do the selection again.
