UTILIZATION

The manual is indispensable if only for the examples that really give you an idea of ​​the capacity of the machine.

It is really quite complicated to master the craft.

The trigger button to adjust the sensitivity.

The voice part mix it adjusts the mix between the sound of the octave, the guitar, that of the higher octave and square wave that gives a little sound distortion.

Attack delay can play on the attacks and remove them if necessary for the effects of water that appear slowly.

The game sweep filter is the most delicate, the Resonance knob handles something between an intensity of oscillation and the harmonics and it's hard to describe the term resonance is not inappropriate. The buttons start and stop freq determines the height of departure and end so we can choose the direction of the sweep. The button determines the speed rate of oscillation.

The issue is simple in configuration, but hard to get something just because according to preset the longer it will take the neck pickup at the bridge for a better result.

In addition it is monophonic, which limits a lot the game

We can get many different sound but it can not save or move from one to another easily. No preset, not noon. Sliders tend to move during the transport bag.

SOUND QUALITY

We obtain various sounds sometimes difficult to use but can mimic a monophonic analog synthesizer without the possibility of sounds that far.

The opportunity to play with the mixture of octaves can really get results very distinct, it is a machine to explore.

Small problem in that it is monophonic, so not everything is possible. Moreover it tends to get the note after a moment, the proper setting of the trigger is important. The overall output level is quite low on the model I own, whatever the guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had at least six months, the first pedal of this kind I have. The sound is undeniably good but its flaws make it a difficult to use live. Unless you have really noticed his réglafge it will be merely a single sound. The pedal has a format so even with the new case XO. (Equivalent to two bosses format).
