«  typical but good »

analog, not true bypass, drive-level-bass-mid-treble boost more dedicated to the 2nd switch.

The mediums are not parametric, it simplifies use.

Little noise, switching, this is the advantage of buffer.
FOr the price is perfect, of course.

UTILIZATION

Thanks to the media at a fixed frequency is very easy to adjust, not as ticklish as my line6 ubermetal not possible.
Frequencies of the equalizer are well chosen, no joke.
The boost sends a lot of midrange and treble when it clicks and a higher output level adjustable. Very effective for solos.

Therefore gain available but progressive (not a fender amp eh ...), and the nature of the distortion (probably two or three floors) implies not be afraid to turn up the gain so that the sound appears.

SOUND QUALITY

The texture is fine and precise. The color is like the line6 ubermetal, quite dark and metallic (...).
It's fast and flawless so at work buddies ...
With the sound opens boost significantly, it pushes forward very sharp, the solos are well defined and going very well in the mix. Big difference when we go back in rhythm.

In fact apart from a few different mediums (less quack) this pedal is very similar to the grunge digitech we see or ride harley went ...

I really tested both and I confess a preference for grunge, more organic less metal.

Both pedals behave the same with microphones, namely the bridge going great but when we pass on the neck becomes his reluctant, not clear at all. With two microphones set it collapses completely, and I tested with several scratch.

Therefore not versatile, unless you play everything (as in, nu metal, doom metal, thrash hardcore metal dark age ...)

For ad hoc style that's all good, no lizard

OVERALL OPINION

It's been about 6 months that I get excited over, and it is not easy to marry on my vox ac15c1 I must have the boost pedal all the time if it goes not engaged.
Earphones (mixing desk via HP simultaneous analog and fx studio) is very nice because its mids are not recessed snack candy. Akg k240df, not really linear either, so take with a pinch of salt.

A good product, well-typed and very usable with a little attention.
For the price it is perfect.
