8oris « Vibro-Phaser-Phaso or Vibrate? »
Published on 09/21/13 at 02:18# What are the effects or types of effects available?
Vibrato, tremolo, and phaser
# What technology is used? (Analog, digital, tube ...)
Analog.
# Are they edited? Via a Mac / PC editor?
Not.
# What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI)
Classic connection: input and output mono 6.35 and 9V.
# Is this a rack or rack MODEL?
Not.
Classical building in DOD: solid metal case and rugged appearance, potentiometers or too "soft" or too "hard" and not serrated. Switch plastic but solid. No "pop" to activate the effect, no buzz or hum.
Not true-bypass, the model I tends to boost the sound but not so bad at all.
UTILIZATION
# The general configuration is it simple?
Yes, this pedal is plugged like any other, in front or in the loop. Personally, I found the best sound with use in the loop.
# Editing sounds and effects is it easy?
Yes and no.
First, the names of the settings, such as on a lot of DOD pedals, sometimes quite imaged. In short, it gives:
Speed: Speed control of vibrato and phasing
Depth: controls the depth of the vibrato
Doppler: control the amount of phasing
Image: regeneration control phasing
Note that in my model, the potentiometer "Doppler" is called "Intensity"!
As advised just the manual, you must first set the speed and depth with the potentiometers "Doppler" and "Image" to a minimum.
The latter two will add more "juice" in the sound.
Editing is easy but is difficult to get a 100% vibrato vibrato whatsoever without the extreme vibrato, or phaser phaser 100% without either the extreme phaser. Short, short of these extremes is always a little in between.
Add to that the action of potentiometers "Doppler" and "Image" is intimately linked. Limit should act simultaneously on both settings at the same time we play to grasp the importance and interdependence.
# The manual is clear and sufficient?
Very brief but adequate.
For those who want, I uploaded as an image in the "Media" page of the product FX22
In short, use level, it's pretty easy but it will look at the settings to grasp the principle.
SOUND QUALITY
# The effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough?
Effective yes. This pedal, without vibrato or a phaser pronounced character, adds a very very nice color to the sound. A bit like icing on the cake is not necessary but gives a little taste and a nice touch.
Suitable: yes but its clear that more saturated. On an arpeggio, or picking plan, it can be very beneficial to your sound, round, give it a little "punch" and "dynamic" stéréospaciale (outright).
With distortion, it is more random and less sympathetic to my ear, but it is not bad. You can get some very nice textures on agreements we let it ring. Friends of the drone, this pedal can be made for you.
Realistic yes. The sound does not "cardboard" or "plastic". It's very organic, full of warmth and life.
# Which instruments do you use?
A LTD MH-400 LH, a preamp AMT SS-20.
# Which ones do you prefer, you hate?
I love to Doppler 3/4 and the Image 1/4 (phaser with a touch of vibrato) or the exact opposite (vibrato with a touch of phaser).
In short, a pedal that sounds warm, organic, which gives punch to your and "module" in a very special way.
OVERALL OPINION
# How long have you use it?
About 6 months.
# What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Plus:
- The effect on both the intangible, yet so
- The side of the organic
- Excellent report on the clear sounds
The least:
- Difficult to get a true phaser or a real vibrato
- He must love tweaking pedals to extract the very substance
# Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Since this type of effect is quite unique in its kind, I would say no!
# How would you rate the quality / price?
I got it for fifty euros, which seems a fair price for this pedal on the second hand market. I would not put more than 70 €.
# With experience, you do again this choice?
I bought it out of curiosity. I expected to get a good vibrato psycho to DOD. Finally, I have a good psycho DOD who can possibly remember vibrato but I'm not disappointed.
For those who want, I made a little video on Youtube:
