This is the J-Drive so MkIII Overdrive and / or booster. I remember for a nophytes overdrive is not a distortion or fuzz. Simulates an overdrive (how horrible word in this case) the heat lamps well stimulated.

There is a rglage the drive, one of the "heat" and a volume for the part and a simple volume overdrive for the boos, a small BRT switch, a switch to activate each effect indpendamment, an input e guitar output (yes fortunately) and a socket for power collection outdoor type Boss.

Food by my PCioks 9 volts AC in the Rider PDAL comes with a battery.

UTILIZATION

It's simple: you plug, turn the knobs and we seek happiness. Easy, normal, normal.

There is a manual trs express in English, but in fact that Arelle need? The ears are enough.

Some precision:
- The BRT switch for bright, turned on (position) allows the manufacturer to use the expression "to make them brighter or humbuckers to get that little more bite."
- The button "Warmth" is not just a filter "low cut" like most of the tone found on overdrive. It acts as a filter of "low pass" coupled with the gain of the drive. In short: the more you turn in the clockwise over the filter mounts frquence cutoff which gives the impression of more heat in the sound but at the same time the amount we gain more harmonic. It may seem complicated to some, but it's really much more effective than a Tone knob that simply cut the frequencies and signal altre gnralement the pedals.

However, rest assured the use is very simple, plug and ring.

SOUND QUALITY

Distos of overdrive and I have had several over the years, the one is really fantastic. I just hsit with Fulltone (brand I love) but my gnait c'tait the impossibility to use the boost indpendamment of overdrive. The sound is clear, organic, no pedals gnre no breath (although the overdrive always cre). In boost mode the sound of guitars (Fender Stratocaster and Heritage H 535) and are fully respects the amp, the sound is clear. The overdrive is "crmeux" hope and fully Ragit change in volume on the guitar. We can thus move from a lightweight crunch saturation with no major attack of the strings. It is a PDAL trs "organic" feeling that respects the guitarist and his intentions.

OVERALL OPINION

Diamond is a small Canadian company based in Halifax Dartmouth prs. Does she founded by two musicians (a guitarist and a bassist) who collected the pedals and amps for years. One of them is a specially ingnieur effects in acoustic and psycho-acoustics. Manufacturing hand and solid pedals that leaves no doubt on its reliability and strong. Each PDAL is wearing a serial number (mine is numro 179). Like Fuller (from Fulltone), when they are more reliable components for ncessaires couraging their effects, they shall adopt just the production, which is a guarantee of quality and srieux.

I had the opportunity to try their time limit (the Memory Lane) I found fantastic and I expect soon will integrate into my set.

Unlike the Ides reues on overdrive can Integrates perfectly into the pdalier a "mtaleux" insofar as she works as an amplifier and will be perfectly well nerv comfortable with a distortion or fuzz up ahead (between the J Drive and Wha Wha for example). Of course, the blues and rock is much suprieure IDAL and an Ibanez TS808 or Tubescreamer.

Some argue that its price is lev but the quality of pedals "boutique" is paid and if we compare with Jacques Overtube SERIES is manufactured in Poland, 30 of Difference drisoires are next to the quality. The question is, if we want to give his instruments prfrs partners height. For me the price is justified.

I love the pedals, if I was flying I would take the right away without another hsiter.

Finally, I'll just say that we find almost never occasion which means that guitarists who adopt it are satisfied and keep it.
