Simple, so no battery power supply, 9V mandatory. I just saw that they offered the PSU, with, Me, I've never seen. And as the folks at Fulltone have very bad reputation, I arbitrarily put it on their backs and not that of Thomann, who themselves have excellent reputation.

UTILIZATION

The manual, there is none, then a sheet quickly. No examples of presets, nothing.
That said, it is easy to understand. A true

SOUND QUALITY

Univibe.
I do not know what the pedals are worth competing but this one gives me the sound hendrix / Trowerien I wanted.
It's pretty clean (I mean, it's not "food" not too sound), the modes are interesting, the range of sounds and settings is vast.
From this point of view, nothing to say, it is great.

OVERALL OPINION

But manufacturing is ... bad.
It's been a year and a half since I use it and she showed me several times disturbing signs.
The knob "Intensity" turned 360 degrees, I managed to solve this problem but I do not know how.
The plastic knob "speed" did not want to hang it, so, he does not turn, I also solved this problem but I do not know how (screw shots I guess).
I almost lost the shoes several times (re-shot screws).
And the worries are starting now because the little switch "Vibrato / Chorus" stopped working and nothing comes out of the pedal.
That's a lot. So yes I use it once a week live but this is not a reason, I have other pedals that I use as much and they do not have such problems.
Fortunately it is guaranteed 3 years.
When I went to look in a shop in Pigalle known for its specialization in the pedals (it gives enough clues;), they told me they had none because they were distributing them. According to them, Fulltone was not serious enough about the build quality and after sales service (since they have again, I saw one last week, go figure ...)
I would perhaps have 'preferred it to be "Made in China" rather than "Made in California", I probably had less surprises and I probably paid three times less expensive (paid 289 euros, the price in France is generally 335 euros, the U.S. almost 2 times less, one of the worst value for money which I was involved).
