PDAL sample of the format simple PDAL

A level knob (for a "guide rhythm is to say the box intgre pace, and for the level of / return of what is recorded)

A tap tempo button / select

1 knob to select the memory (11 in total for a max recording lasts 16 minutes! Not bad for a small pedals when you see that the first model of the loop station boss, format twin PDAL, that had a capacity of 4 minutes ...!)

1 knob of "menu" (choice of recording mode, tempo, measure, according to "write" (a phrase mmorisation) and delete (erase))

Between an external recording from other sources

However, impossible to read simultanment several sentences or several sentences to record and read by adding one to the other

prcedemment as said, no USB port, but the format, I think the dj CHARACTERISTICS compltes trs.

possibility of adding a CONTRL pedals (see below)

UTILIZATION

It's true no manual in French, but you can find on the net via a link in a thread on AF ddi the pedals.

I do not use it since trs long, so I do not yet control all parameter. I use the recording feature the most basic, no rglage tempo or measure. function is the simplest: it operates the pedals are played (as against, must be square if the surprises costs), and we dsenclanche the pedals, which takes the Relay for reading, and it BPS this maneuver as many times as the DSIR.

reading the instructions, the guide features rhythm, tempo selection, measurement (quantification) ... complex seemed to me (I prcise I no mastery of solfge parliaments, so nothing that scares me a little jargon) and "locked up" (I do not know if I'm understanding, but the only word that comes). however, for someone familiar with these concepts should not pose a problem in and probably can make the most of the craft.

For cons, the only fawn "disable" the box that pace dclenche ds one reads a preset knob and lower the "level" which is at least ddi. attention in concert vrifier if properly once or you will hit the jackpot (all the rhythm patterns are quite nazes registered)

forcment not practical for use on scne hands are highly stressed ..

Edict of 02/07/07: I just received a Controller fs5u boss, and I must say it is convenient and increases user comfort Whereas, the Controller allows you to cut reading a sentence with one touch (instead of two simultaneously on the pedals alone, not what it There's more convenient to use), and then select the following sentence .

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is clean and well restored your original sound THE FIRST loop. However, with several loops, it is the cat, it appears from your amp a boiled inaudible, which makes it unusable as a group.

in addition, must be taken into account that the parts you are successively add a volume of diffrent THE FIRST! between each, it is therefore necessary to adjust the level knob, not practice again because you can not do that by hand

not tried to record a source other than a guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several months, and for use at home to work, taking his time, without the pressure of the game live (not allowed error) it is quite convenient and easy to use.

I do not know if later I will try with other functions that seem to me more complex and restrictive (unless they provide perfect curls and holds the microphone hair), but in any case, c 'is a great tool to be square and forced to find several parts of guitars from a ide to departure. Fast Fashion's songs take on another dimension with the pedals!

So interesting that level, except the back of its small footprint: your hands are solicited trs. the addition of pedals of CONTRL can s'avrer practice (even necessary), especially for use on a hypothtique scne. Finally, the box pace and rhythm are too Submitted guide, which affects the Instinctiv.

edit 02/08: practical work at home, live or unusable rpeter high volume: Successive Recording of audio loops leads a slurry, in addition, not very practical use when you need to juggle between a half dozen pedals, the slightest mistake is unforgiving with this machine, even if you catch the blow again, farewell Instinctiv the game "live" ... short, a tool for working at home or CRER, but nothing else, having a multitrack dj who performs this function much better, it DCID I spare!
