Best value: Excellent
Analog distortion, without lamp.
Runs on 9V.
Made in America.
Case very rsistant, typ nag (cliché?).

UTILIZATION

The configuaration: ultra simple, no need manual:
- Volume
- 3-band EQ: Treble / Mid / Bass
- Distortion

Note the prsence a boost, quite convenient.

SOUND QUALITY

That's the most important sound ... EN-ORME.
Nothing that view, we know why this dja PDAL is made, and the only confirms. It's really heavy, heavy metal East, with big distos. Increase a little Mid, and Treble, and you can get sounds reminiscent of the style of 80's trash, and you break out play Seek & Destroy and other hymns of its kind! For my part I have a small preferences for the rglages prsences with a strong bass, treble and virtually no mdium. This gives her a very large, and becomes a true palm mute wonder (note I use the beast with a DK2L Jackson, rises with Seymour Duncan .... it's cool).

As for the boost it provides a louder sound, certainly changed, but idalie for soli. Put back, the whole becomes inaudible, and you will hurt the ears, so do not try and do not make your rglages a rush.
So I would put 9 / 10 on this point, because of the boost which can be sometimes a little too much work for the rest, it is perfect. I have long hsit between it and the Dime Distortion ... if you are in the same case before rflechissez dpenser big bucks for the distortion of the late Matre!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several months. I have a Peavey Envoy Transtube 110 (40W transistor), and on any amp, the sound of thunder (try a Laney HCM15R, it's still good, really good!). I had a Jet Lag 100ML, and now I pass on Jackson and I can tell you that the sound is amazing. What I like least is the boost use with prcaution. The case is very cliché against metal, or please ca ca ca not like me .... m'plait: D.
Report quality excellent price (I got lucky, I bought it in stores in time when the price dropped, so I had a Metal Muff for the price of a Little ^ ^).

With experience, I would do this choice, although the Dime Distortion remains for me one of the best pedals disortion, but the MM is a very, very serious choice, and I do not regret!
