Distortion pedal which incorporates the settings SansAmp GT2, plus some other small, + memorize them.
The pedal is analog with a digital backup of the settings, too strong guys.

For a pedal is very complete. May miss the stereo output (but what good would it do to a distortion hahaha?)

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration
Button type of amp: Tweed, California, Britain, to name the unnamed Fender, Marshall and Mesa (or other high gain)
After choosing clean, hi gain or wired for hot juice harder and harder.
In short, it's simple, we try and if you like, save it
And if we were wrong, we can start as many times as you want. I tell you are strong.
It has two more buttons to change the sound, but here I do not understand the logic, I do not consider myself to enough. It changes the sound in any case, but less drastic, I would say more to refine.

SOUND QUALITY

Many possibilities of sound, is not to say. Certainly what I've heard more convincing to go out without the sound Marshall Marshall.
Fender sounds can range from more neutral than bright, attention the hair cream, it's mind-blowing.
Hi gain sounds are very typical Big Sound. For those who love or like me for fun, we can make the wholesale spot.

Attention to the background noise on large distos and with single coils anyway: lovin 'scare of the time, I feel that 747 of the company AirLarsen will arise in my living room.
But it gives the impression that it might even make a scene actually quite usable. Like what ...

After moult in our tests of connection repeats amp, a Vox AC30, impossible to have a good sound. Highs come from all sides, very strident, even with the treble knob to the minimum and the bass to max. I will make a final attempt directly dansle return effects loop, but if it works any better, it will not end up in rehearsal.
Too bad, so it made yet on my Mesa ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have a few weeks / months
I have not been around but I use it to give extra punch to the chorus parts. It does it very well, regardless of the selected emulation.
I like the sounds, backups reminds the foot, the simplicity of operation: my feet go there quite easily.
It complements very well my Maxon OD-9 that it remains in the register much more classic. With the AMT, you can go out into the big time, and badly out of the mix.
It's quite expensive (about € 240 if I remember correctly, Paris), but it seems solid built there. But the variety of possible sounds, ultimately it is not so expensive.

For now, a purchase that I do not regret it. Maybe I'll leave it at home to local recurrence.
Next step, see what a bass plugged in there may well give!

ahhh if one regret: it is in Russia and we all know how they manage to steal all the good deals these guys: damn spies. But the WTO does!

Beware, the sound is much depend on the amp that you plug the little beast.
Mesa on my home, it does really well, but on our Vox in rehearsal, it's a honeycomb rabid unusable.
In short, test before buying ...
