Ouaillème « Compact and ergonomic almost »
Published on 06/28/13 at 02:40Pedal for direct, no possibility of dialogue with other interfaces (computer etc.)
External 9V power only
UTILIZATION
1 button that does everything, it will be doing a lot with a little practice.
The only problems I encounter:
- 1 click = rec, 2 = long click undo. If we undo a rec too quickly after the machine interprets this as a court_long, = erase loop. Too bad, when you made that mistake the loop is not recoverable.
- The LED activity is very close to the switch => always hidden by the foot on the pedal. Particularly difficult not to see the color (red / green) in this case.
And no battery power, but it is the reverse of the mini-format.
SOUND QUALITY
Largely as well as Jamman and RC20.
In theory the sampling is better.
To the ear I do not see any appreciable difference, but I use it on sounds very loaded effects.
We must be aware that these samplers are not champions of the overdub.
Although not directly related to sound quality, it is also a pedal that is managing the junction end / beginning of loop, especially if you store sensitive continuous sheets. No click and a "satisfactory" crossfade (note on a held note means the jump, but in the case of all samplers)
OVERALL OPINION
After a long month of use, I recommend if you are looking for:
- A super compact pedal (this is THE major issue for me)
- A device for live without persistent memory when it is disconnected
- A device that does not record multiple sound banks to recall
then independently
- Sound quality than up its larger competitors
- An attractive price
For me, it is exactly that, I eased my pedalboard a Jamman (which was indispensable before because I used much of the memory banks 100, but today this is no longer the case) . I know very well the RC20 also ... So in the case of use described above, I really strongly recommends small Ditto.
