Octave + Fuzz
100% analog
Connection level, I emphasize BIG default this pedal: No external power can ... it will settle for a good old 9V battery (not supplied even !!!) or a 9V AC adapter connection, which is far from being practical and particulirement inesthtique ... more trap to reach the battery is very accessible, but fairly cheap (plastic) and no LEDs showing operation is Introduced on the beast ... yet we can not say that there is no room on the facade!

The food, and the power door but share has rarely have I seen such a large pedal by its sobriety and finish (100% Mtal not with plastic knobs like on some pedals that price ...).
I forgot ... no markers on super knobs which I am the lodge, then to view its rglages is zero points ...

7/10 because I put the pedal in it even inspires solidity and reliability despite some major flaws ...

USE

The configuration is unlike appearance (2 knobs) very fine, and rigorous. Indeed, the bcheron that by automation (like me at the beginning) will swing the volume of his guitar and the pedal background will end well stuck if it limits only the knob of his rglages Fuzz ... especially the difference of his do not feel too much in this configuration.
Thus Editing sounds is quite complex (and it's making it a gem) as it takes normment play with the volume on your guitar! dropoff Window
The manual serves nothing.

I put 10 because I am fanatic of pedals that requires a little time to understand all the little finesse of their use!

SOUND QUALITY

As I said, one 2 Volume and Fuzz knobs ... but the most important is the volume of your guitar!
So it is simply necessary to have a decent guitar (I play on a telecaster Mex up with a dual single-coil Di Marzo corner which I no longer have the name in the bridge position ... and I put myself on the intermediary position to play with two microphones.) This guitar is good but not exceptional either ...

Thus, all the knobs background we get a sound dgueulasse, appearance very flat and neutral but against when playing in a little finesse, we find the hottest sounds "& crunchy fat" I had the opportunity to hear in my life What happiness!
Unless you put fuzz, the more you hear the octave ... but beware! It's very subtle like his! This is not just a double one octave notes below! It's ... hard to describe ... but gives an incredible volume!
I play on a Marshall MG100 DFX, a good big plow, but I intend to spend on a AC30CC1 towards the end of the year ... and I think I'm going to cry with happiness! dropoff Window

I put 10/10 because it is THE pedal that warms your sound if you want a bold and deep!

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for 1 week, and I had moments of hesitation ...
First, I got hooked on the costing, and I order a hit on head ...
In the receiving, I had the feeling of having done a bit m'tre because I found the sound very limited until I use it on a crunch channel and varying the volume of my guitar. Since I am in awe!

I do not like the nonexistent external power and the absence of diode which I believe are essential.

I possd a Zvex Fuzz Factory home that has similar that the name "FUZZ"
In my fuzz factory is a pedal of bourin and I advise all fans of Muse and power pop. As against the octavio is for the players, I think looking for a grain and a heat to have its own sound (and not that of Bellamy!).

The price quality ratio is probably not justified ... but that's life!

With experience, I do it again this choice, but I try to take my time to find Cygnus ... because, true to say, I have not been able to wait ^ _ ^

9/10 !!!
