harrylefrigo « Super pedal! »
Published on 12/21/11 at 13:11Beware my opinion on the nylon version, which I bought on Ebay United States for a price of $ 169 with shipping (approximately € 130). Anyway I found this pedal anywhere in France.
First approach an all-metal pedal, sturdy and beautiful. (It's tough!) That works in or with a 9v battery.
Aura pedals simulates a sound recording of the guitar with a microphone and "replaces" the sound of your guitar by an "image" that is, by the sound of a great guitar recorded with a super micro.
We can mix the piezo sound of his guitar with his "image" of our choice (there are 16 different in the animal (and more to download, but apparently I did not need) to get the setting that we are going well.
UTILIZATION
I have a guitar electro-Esteve nylon with a cedar top and Fishman piezo preamp. I found the sound that suits me perfectly (image number 12). Actually, I do not know how and what kind of guitar micro image is produced, but there is always that I a much more warm and round with my piezo pickup, more powerful, too, without the hassle a microphone in front of the rose ... knowing that I played up quite often. I find this quite natural, and his terrible anyway (probably a bit compressed)
The general config is super simple: a volume (that must be addressed with the preamp on the guitar not to saturate: a minimum of sound from the guitar and it is quiet), a large button selection of "images" ( like I said I is the image 12 which suits me) and a button "blend" that allows you to mix as you like the sound of the piezo with the image of the pedal. I forgot a small phase selector. (You can invert the phase apparently it can solve problems in particular of feedback).
SOUNDS
I found myself their super suits me really well, but we must find the picture that sounds good. For me there was only one "image" that worked really well on the 16 in the beast.
Apparently according to other opinions you can go and download new images (and with any luck the image made with his own guitar) with the software "image gallery" that is not provided in the box, (I think we must also go download it but I really know how to fit these new images in the pedal since I do not see any USB ????)
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 4 months, I did two concerts. for the last concert, I used this pedal when I plugged directly into the sound system without going through an amp and the sound was stunning.
I have nothing else before trying this pedal (in any case is something that exists elsewhere in the same style?) I love this pedal for the price I paid, I would do this choice without hesitation.
Do not hesitate to see the reviews for the Dreadnought version is exactly the same pedal but with "images tailored" to each type of guitar. These include the view of Cuki79 which is very informative! https://fr.audiofanzine.com/effet-guitare-divers/fishman/Aura-Imaging-Pedal-Dreadnought/avis/
