- What are the effects or types of effects available? It's a (big) saturation pedals (overdrive) lamp (1 x 12AX7). This one being high-voltage driver.

- Are they ditables? Via an editor Mac / PC? Well, no, eh ... Analog pedals

- What is the connection? In, Out, remote (to connect an external switch), Alim provided (not heat the beast evil, the power supply provides 700mA!)

UTILIZATION

- The configuration gnrale Is it easy?
It could not be simpler: one with pedals between an outlet, 3 knobs
- Drive: saturation level of light when the mini was a factor in the saturated trs max factor 2
- Output: output level, gain big margin, unity gain is 25% of the race!
- Voicing: cut a tape to dig mdiums

2 switches: on / off triggers that activate the pedals (that's a true bypass) and Factor 1 / 2 to gain level 2

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ... Some presets are Submitted but hey, for the config, no need ....

I put 8 because a true adjustable tone of t have much to compensate for variation between amps ...

SOUND QUALITY

- Effects are they effective, suitable and adequate ralistes?
It has a light overdrive, nothing more so it was all that is natural, H & K boasts transparency and compliance with the grain of the instrument and the amp, I think everything is r sum. The grain goes from clear or almost a nice crunch and a factor in up to a muscle but no overdrive fMeasure (no question of the metal of some kind, we are here in the land of Blues , rock, the limit of Hard Rock. Importantly, AC not blowing !!!!.
The voicing can dig the medium in Bosst the input signal, one must be able to reach the big sounds ... to see, I must continue my exporimentations, Notter volume of repeated .....

Rhaaa!, I have done with a repeated. Branch in a marshall JMP.
I redcouvert qu'tait the guitar sound! but how did I do lice live without this stuff all this time?? dynamics is monstrous! config test:
Burny LP -> Cry Baby -> MXR Supercomp -> phaser -> Tube amp Micor Factor -> various effects ... -> Marshall JMP. Well, I prfr a Twin, the marshall is a bit aggressiff but the cow! tube factor is what I always expected! Supercomp the front, I had expected all sounds, except for the crunch LGERS that I like, but the fault is difficult to walk .... I thought I would try to compare a Cooltron, well it will not bother, I keep my toy!! how did I could find that sounded good DM4?? j'exagre .. DM4 is the hepatic but not high quality ...

10/04/2006 Last day: with a repeated "The Twin". ca does, even more dynamic than marchemal, more size, I should try to dig a little with the mids voicing ... mas Well, it does very very well!!

days set in 2007: I just compare it with an OCD, it was very similar but slightly less brilliant ... u

- Which instruments do you use?
Test RALIS a Burny LP and a Twin and the middle of a set of pedals (see profile)

- What are those you prfrez, you dtest? I like the grain, I always dream of a natural saturation, I found the crunch is exactemnt way I want, the saturation as well, even if it was a tendency to want more ... I would put an MXR Supercomp, a Belcat and OCD before. I AIM reserve a gain can be greater (as with overdrive j'obteins upstream, finally, I use it mainly for solos with lots of gain (+ Factor2 OCD)
The fact that it does not blow ca disorder also not bad, you do not feel like the drive.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two days, it is clear that I will give my opinion a day trs soon.
I love the simplicity tired dedevoir turning knobs and save fifteen patches .. the look (a little window that lights up in blue) .. and especially the sound. I want a little more gain, but it was not rdibitoire the Supercomp upstream does its job ..
I have a DM4 and a Tri AC. The time I dernire jou I dcu t by the coldness of DM4, who had little dcu up Submitted but with fresh ears, I realized account of the problem ... Tri AC works well, it may be difficult to resolve especially in "Brit" impossible to have one without the horrible crunch boosts treble on .. (2007 update: vrirer the cap is Brit enfentin and solves the problem!)
Report quality Price: Yeah, the Beast 250 ... still cheaper than the DM4 but what a potato!! Oh yeah, what gouache!

Yes, I think I retrounerais! I reconfirmed!! The bomb in the registry rock (not metal) that I can be for a couple taterais OCD + BB preamp or other ...
