«  very good surprise. »

Published on 06/13/14 at 07:31
everything has been said, positive points format, the power supply to the right place, 2 levels of phasing via a switch and not a rotocontacteur. A larger switch should be mounted if you want to change color at the foot!
pure analogique.J adore ...
however, few possible. settings anyway, a pedal that features 10 effects and 4 or 5 settings is generally used for 2 or max with a setting that will not move ever ... So, with the small stone avoids getting lost.

UTILIZATION

one speed knob and a switch for two different intensities of phasing. the speed is very well staged, with a slow cycle hyper hyper fast. The knob is fluid.
both colors are interesting by phasing you want to mark the effect or not.
I noticed a slight "plop" when engaging the pedal and a little more intense breath mode.
mix the dry and wet is done well, the depth is set, so the config is sufficient to have a nice sound.
I tested it in the effect loop of my amp.

SOUND QUALITY

the pedal is transparent liquid, the effect is warm and well rounded while preserving the characteristics of the sound of my strat. This is a super good point because I was afraid that the sound is drowned more than that, more blurred. Not at all! beautiful highs are present. it is quite vintage in mind (dug in the midrange frequencies before and beautiful sounds.
oscillation is pretty awesome, you really feel a ripple effect at slow speed, a kind of wooooooshhhhhhhhh ... It is also very smooth and goes after frequency.
a killing on in clean arpeggios and chords shelled (remember "breathe" by Pink Floyd), and extra on the funk / disco. Super made in two colors.
in distortion, however, I am less convinced but anyway, it's not really (at all) my style. Attention must be paid to the synthetic side of the result seriously playing the guitar or amp tone and placement of the pedal in the effects chain.

OVERALL OPINION

Addicted to the period 1966-1972, I love this effect clean sounds or just on the wire, and therefore EH actually offers an expressive effect not food guitar. Means a good strat or LP embellished with the effect and not the reverse.
the price is among the cheapest which is a real asset when you know those main competitor MXR. I put lmongtemps decide and I do not regret anything, especially bought it used, so at a reasonable price. QPR beat.
I think the MXR is more suited to their very distos mediums (some would say too much) and the present small stone facing more clear sounds. In any case, for the latter, it is a success and a nice surprise.
