Pierrot-le-sage « Excellent pitch-shifter polyphonic »
Published on 08/10/11 at 03:03From the perspective of the construction is the pretty stuff, though strong, is the same size as a whammy qq. millimeter (about 1-2cm wide). As for the look I like even though I usually prefer the vintage stuff. In any case it is in another class compared to the horrible news whammy DT.
Too bad we can not mix the dry with a detune for use as a harmonizer or octave as the Whammy ....
UTILIZATION
The most interesting is when I plugged in the loop of my Boss LS-2: A Bomber in the loop, nothing in the loop B (B = bypass = the dry) and LS-2 set to "mix A + B ". This produces the mode "harmonizer" which is sorely lacking in this great pedal. It can be also set on the LS-2 the dry signal level and Detune. The result is truly stunning: with the bomb on October 1 we get a 12 string sound really beautiful. -1 Octave mode we take for Jack White in the process of sent the riff of "Blue Orchid".
SOUND QUALITY
With regard to the sound the first thing to do is adjust the well trim (button input gain of the pedal) to get a clear, no buzz. The pitch is really very clean shifiting, almost crystalline (no effect). Agreements going very well until the lower and upper octave. BEYOND we feel that it starts to screw up but nothing serious (slight warble like the whammy). With the Bomber can play in tuning 2, 4 or 7 semitones down so entirely credible. C p.exe to drop the low E is given a tone lower on days with and Bomber set to -2 semitones ... It's almost too easy and it sounds really well. The bypass of the Bomber does not seem to eat but the sound It has yet to confirm.
OVERALL OPINION
I had the opportunity to test it next to my Whammy IV. Now why do I keep ... At the moment I do not know yet because we must admit that the Whammy IV has its charm but I think the bomb is far ahead in terms of sound quality but at a price of more limited possibilities. But with the trick described above I think it will take the lead.
