Best value:
Excellent
Classified as vibrato, it sounds rather like a Leslie cab Univibe or at low cost to the extent that you do not feel that it is the frequency of the note varies. Everything is in the photo, one switch, two pots Speed and Intensity for varying the speed of the effect and its ... intensity, bravo the Anglophile.
PCBs and Supercheap case, the small miracle of the thing is that it contains a bulb and photocells that can sublimate her with minor mods ESSENTIAL. (See sound quality)
UTILIZATION
Extremely simple, just makes sense.
A bad point for the switch plastoc, difficult to engage, and when you open the beast to see how it is actually below what is even worse.
SOUND QUALITY
The original sound is not exceptional, but by putting the guts looks like there is a good way to take advantage of this pedal.
- First remove the black cover of the bulb to cover it with aluminum foil or other type of reflective surface to increase the amount of light that percutera the photocells.
- Then play on the internal trimpot to find while playing the sweet spot of the pedal and there Ooooooo miracle, the sound is organic and bright, incommensurate with the factory adjustment of the pedal. It's really a second wind, the difference is obvious even for me who have a poor sensitivity audiophile.
OVERALL OPINION
Poor quality manufacturing to drive prices to the extreme, it would be worth dearer but better finished.
If you are looking for a drop vibrato, it's not a pedal for you.
If you want a Leslie effect / Univibe cheap, you can go there with your eyes closed condition was to put your hands dirty.
Basically it is a good base but the state is really limited both in terms of sound finish.
The case deserves a rehousing, if someday I have time ...
