be23 « The best for me so far »
Published on 08/03/13 at 13:39Everything has been said, it is an overdrive coupled with a booster, it can be used alone. The overdrive before the boost in the chaining.
The aesthetic is very successful, and the standard connectivity (jack in, jack out and DCIN 9V).
UTILIZATION
The overdrive is controlled via a footswitch and 4 rotary knobs, plus a central rotary switch to 3 notches (lazy, horny and juicy), each of these positions is a more or less hairy sound signature.
One volume knob, one for the rate of drive, a tone, and less classic a knob called "voice" that can select the range of affected primarily by the saturation frequency: simply put this knob selects the "color "the desired, since rather round and bluesy things more aggressive overdrive things.
Tone coupled to the two settings allow a nice range of different sounds, although the pedal keeps its own identity: that of providing a rather chubby overdrive (or very chubby ...)
The booster snaps with a footswitch, and the amount of boost is managed via a rotary knob that meets the sweet name of "potato", I love it!
Anyway it's all very simple and intuitive, we feel that the dashboard of this pedal was designed with common sense and practicality.
SOUND QUALITY
So now, my amp is an Orange TH30 head coupled with a 2x12 closed cab of the same brand.
This beast is a great amp capable of producing everything I seek a beautiful very clean organic, a devastating distortion on the dirty channel (JCM 800 so doped hormones), and overdrive / distortion vintage very nice, but ... which requires pushing the clean channel at levels that may frighten drummers, bassists, neighbors, or any living being within 2 km ...
And on one song, impossible to clear sound to a vintage overdrive rather boring right?
"Why do not you put an overdrive pedal, asshole!"
Ben appears you I did, and I even placed a sacred number in the guitar and the head of the standard OD pedal shop that costs an arm, but I have always been two or three stuff:
- Some overdrive sound is amazing, but still in ranges of light gain.
- For "distortion pedals" (which are only overdrive with great headroom ...), when it does not send a sick souflle sounds chemical to possible (and when I compare the dirty channel my amp, it totally freaks me out the shower) ...
Anyway I stayed in a very organic overdrive "light" (made with madness in Finland ...), but I was missing something ...
Shazâââm! This is done since I tried Riff Shooter, it simply covers the entire sonic palette that separates the clean channel of my amp dirty channel, and it does so with a realistic sound that simply blew me away.
I agree with everything that has been said in the previous opinion: ultra organic "amp like" (sensitivity to the attack, the volume of the guitar), silence prodigious operation, equalization finally pallet rich with just two knobs, a real boost with allowing a solo attack with certainty to break into the mix.
Faultless, nothing else to say.
OVERALL OPINION
A well-known adage says it better than a good pedal 3 medium.
With a very competitive price in relation to the incredible sound quality that allows the Riff Shooter is clear to me above the fray.
Need a boost? an overdrive? a distortion pedal? three at once?
A Riff Shooter and basta.
