Best value:
Excellent
Tremolo and Vibrato Pedal
Analogue tube type 12AU7 (ECC82)
According to the leaflet, Vox set out in the same system Vib / Trem installed on their AC30 amps to put it in a pedal
1 input and 1 output jack
True bypass
Standard 9 volt power supply (not included) or 4 alkaline batteries LR6 (16 hours of use)
Dimensions: 168.5 x 155.5 x 64 mm
Weight: 1.05 kg (without batteries)
Made in Japan
UTILIZATION
Switch On / Off
A switch "1 / 2" to move from one setting to another
A selector 3 positions:
- Tremolo / Vibrato
- Tremolo 1 / 2 Tremolo
- Vibrato 1 / 2 Vibrato
2 independent knobs speed "speed 1" and "Speed 2"
4 knobs common to two settings:
- "Depth": depth of the effect
- "Ratio": Increases the duration of the "hollow"
- "Skew" modifies the curve of the effect
- "Volume" sets the gain (in 2 / 3, the output level is about the same as the input level)
Loupiote a two-color flash at the same speed as the effect in the blue and red for tremolo vibrato, so leading off the coast of Hong Kong.
Small problem: too bad there have only one depth adjustment: less than bend down to turn the knob, the vibrato and tremolo have the same depth.
SOUND QUALITY
The Vibrato and Tremolo sound perfect.
The transition from one setting to another is gradual, which is quite nice to use: On stage, if you forget to change because the transition is as a letter in the mail, neither seen nor known nobody has seen anything, not even the friends of your string orchestra.
But this pedal does more than what is asked:
The sound is warm and becomes crunchy when you go up the gain. The lamp is fulfilling its role (it is not there just for show).
This is the brilliant sound you love when a mare in the digital!
This difference is obvious on a transistor amplifier: The sound is almost that of a tube amp.
The pedal will deserve to be in this case enclanchée time.
On my Fender tube, the difference is somewhat less clear.
OVERALL OPINION
The main advantages of this pedal are the grain provided by the lamp and the combination of two very good effects in one pedal.
Supperior well, in my opinion, the most common Vibratos and Tremolos.
I only regret that the depth setting is common to two effects.
I do not know if I'll keep it because I have a tremolo pedal that I love the "Mr Vibromatic" SIB! (Not found but fabulous).
Excellent quality / price ratio: two effects for the Price of 1 and 1 / 2 is less than two types of Boss pedals.
The more the lamp.
