madchap « Good distortion pedal »
Published on 07/20/14 at 09:51analog distortion pedal
3 EQ knobs: acute, medium, low
3 knobs: nv boost, volume, drive
9v battery
NO true bypass
UTILIZATION
nothing too complicated but the knobs react to any changes so must go quiet when seeking his sound.
SOUND QUALITY
I use it with multiple guitar (godin, gibson, and ltd)
it is not a versatile pedal but it is called extreme metal .... well it must have known that this does not have to make annie cordy sauce ... or grind!
the only thing that bothers me is that the in / out is a reverse of the pluparts other pedals ... this is the case for all Harley Benton are only Joyo rebadgees. So the pedalboard is sometimes a little # $% # $% ^!
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a few months but I had used before (the Joyo, not HB .. even if it is the same!)
The knobs are very reactive and allow numerous variations. Everything noon, like many other distortion pedal, the highs are quite aggressive but just the lower or thwart the boost.
The mediums are quite narrow frequency range and this knob is for cutting medium and not to boost ca .. although can sometimes be useful as amps! it's really a metal pedal for that!
bass can become enormous (even unmanageable!) if you push the knob has low background!
ATTENTION boost the door very badly named because it is very close to a parametric equalizer. It changes the medium and high-pitched, like the Boss Metal Zone. Personally, I put a 9 wholesale. But lowering the acute Lighten it allows the sound without making aggressive.
the rate of distortion is very high and even with microphones single ca sends no problem! the sound is always very precise.
Grain of the distortion is pretty dry, precise and "granular" (ca and can become aggressive if you push too much treble). It reminds me a bit of grain in ENGL.
this pedal likes pretty bright amp like Fender, Laboga. But I tested on a Mesa cab and sent ca also very heavy.
I also sometimes as utlise than OD with very low drive / or zero. Obviously you need to change guitar (not a scratch too typee metal) and all the settings, but in a marshall cab, it leaves me very good crunch muscles like AC / DC. So a little research we draw enough surpernante things.
here is some words in a small summary of this pedal. For the price it costs, you will not find better if the grain for you.
