UTILIZATION
A switch, three knobs, very simple, RAS.
SOUND QUALITY
I bought this pedal for use ONLY LIVE WITH ANALOG SYNTH, in addition to an echo pedal (Danelectro Wasabi) 6 months ago. I play psychedelic rock.
I was looking for a pedal that can drown my sound in a huge reverb sound and a nasty crash (it's a bit silly and extreme, but I'm a bit stupid and extreme) while being capable of more subtlety.
At first it was mad love. With my Korg MS20 and acid sounds that I used, I liked his contributions dark and inviting all at once. I think this synth was well highlighted.
But I changed my synth for live and I went on a little phatty.Le moog keyboard sound is punchy, a bit fatter, but much cleaner and smoother. And then I think the reverb does not serve much and is even less pleasant compared to my echo adjusted in their slap echo. Pedal drown my instrument more than it highlights in soft settings, and used with extreme settings, it was a very unpleasant loss of volume.
More importantly, the delicate sounds of the Moog are found to saturate so not very musical when she is engaged. And that, that happens at all.
So, since one or two months, it clutters my pedal board that I do not use it. It now remains at home to accompany her boyfriend and my little guitar MS20, with whom she gets along much better.
To redo this choice is a complicated issue. I keep it for the MS20, but for the phatty, I orienterai to an extreme reverb without saturation or loss of volume.Ou a delay / reverb spring of very good quality.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 6 months. I used quite a few others before reverb: small Danelectro all rotten, very cool boss, electro harmonix funny and rather stylish and whatever else.
What's on, is that not have not gone around the issue.
What I like most is its ease of use, strength (a real tank!), The small switch that can switch from one extreme to effect a more subtle effect.
For sound, I like his character a little violent, but very warm and tormented.
One little problem, if you search a little clean sound, it does saturate. Not glop (ATTENTION GUITARIST FRIEND, I CAN SPEAK FOR SYNTHE NO GUITAR, I HAVE NO IDEA OF HOW IT REACTS WITH YOUR INSTRUMENT).
Bought 150 euros in my music store. Value priced.
With experience, I orienterai to a delay or a spring reverb. For live performances, this is not the purpose I needed.
For cons, I keep it for the studio!
