This is the exact replica of the pedal octave Jimi Hendrix.
Effect: octave + fuzz. Analog technology.
UTILIZATION
The use could not be simpler. No need to read the manual, plug, turn the knobs and playing. The Opportunities within the machine can no longer are limited, but it was the sound of Hendrix at the Fillmore with Band of Gypsies.
SOUND QUALITY
Its main sound quality is to provide a sound can no longer "rotten" and that side is successful.
OVERALL OPINION
It's been 15 days I have. This is not the kind of effect that often uses the sound is too specific.
The price / quality ratio, it feels a little blouse. The pedal is a faithful reproduction of the original. The manufacturer is expected that the patent falls into the public domain, made the pedal with the same simplicity that at the time, with technology of the time. This gives an altogether extraordinary pedal unusable correctly in our time.
Indeed, this pedal is a nightmare to use and the fault list is impressive:
- No external power
- The volume knob goes up to the cut (below zero, there is a switch) not reported on the record.
- Inability to integrate it into a rack due to the absence of external power. Obligation to unplug the jack to keep the battery which must be replaced from time to time and will require the removal of the pedal rack.
- Lack of reference on the knobs, so unable to save a setting of some sort.
- Its size exaggerated (for what's inside!)
In short, to summarize, although the sound is there and there, you feel a little pigeon anyway. At that price, I would have preferred a more compact pedal, the more current and more practical design. We feel that Dunlop has exploited the side fetish guitar before thinking musicians, like most of the pedals produced under the label Hendrix after 40 years of operation we can be more profitable.
