Value For Money : Excellent
Pedals for overdrive / distortion lamp (a loupiotte 12AU7 clear blue, it's pretty as all)
2 channels
input, output
socket power supply (not included)
indpendant gain and volume per channel
bass and treble EQ common to both channels (small BMOL but hey, it will rev accommodates well!)
voicing for the channel distortion (acts on mediums), no SETTING THE medium on overdrive channel, but no shortage at all
2 switches, one to trigger the effect, the other to trigger the distortion, two red LEDs caught himself
true bypass
possible use of batteries, and does not affect the sound, the light still means as well, it's hot as you like (or not for that matter!)
mtal case that inspires confidence
Designed to the very end trs pedals, 8 for the legalization common

UTILIZATION

Trs simple use, no need for manual (in fact it is a folded sheet 8 which serves as a guide for all languages ​​...)
very easy to find a good sound, a word the above
l can only put 10

SOUND QUALITY

I use the pedals on a marshall MG100HDFX + baffle that goes with ... the stuff of studio rpt 'what (not always possible to take his 80kg of gear every time, or even just the head amp), with a les paul standard or an average ibanez end up in SD SH6 bridge.
Regarding the first channel (overdrive), depending on the gain you can have a trslger crunch, just a bit messy in the sound, or we push for a more pronounced overdrive or a distortion carrment vintage gain background: rglage whatever the gain, the sound is really good trs: hot (I want to say brlant!) crmeux with a grain rather reminiscent typ marshall the lamps, vintage plutt (weird huh?). trs really good, but there is talk of an overdrive channel so clear for the really clear ... Ben, of course, it is not possible, we can not use this as a preamp pedals alone.
For distortion, then the one can do many things, it's still hot trs, and after the gain and voicing one can go from a distortion tranquillou with an accent still vintage trs a monstrous distortion , trs aggressive, trs prcise (HS6 power) through the good rock distortion a little plump, dribbling (thank you slurp the lp!) which recalls again the marshals lamps ... either: it is necessary that prciser for extreme styles I do not feel comfortable trs: it does not spit a lot of bass (not very much) and is more focused medium-high ( a surprise to beginners! trs but soon you realize that it is her characters, and fucking love it! a ring!) and its reserve of gain is not standard (although it can grow back without losing too much precision)
In this regard, it should not be hsiter down the treble of the amp (the transistor is marshall dj rev fast loud) and the bulldog, otherwise, well, the ears may not like.
I also tested on my head lamps (engl powerball) rglages the bin must be affine, we have to spend time if the sound is dgueulasse, but once c 'is done, again CHARACTERISTICS grain is still good with trs still smaller scale than the crunch or distortion of the head, bass really seem to default has sent at least ... it's good to change some of its occasionally but the sound of the powerball, well it always comes back;)! So from my point of view, it is a great pedals to boost transistor amplifier, the sound really wins heat, "authenticitquot, it really transforms through an amp! In my opinion it is all done able be used in concert, and even with the marshals who a trs transo rput bad '(not really MRIT, must compare like with like), there is to blush! As against a lamp amp would be a shame ... unless there is no big distortion, then it is the one that suits!
So try before you buy, but as long as you do not pay in Canadian or Scandinavian styles bcherons, one can only be satisfied!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for ten months, I do fault it is prcisment type pedals I was looking for the use I make.
I tried it before the distos multi effects (Boss GT6), blah means, or head home digitech hot, not bad but it is not at all in the same range, and no miracle means.
So even if it's expensive, when even a good quality price, YES I would do this choice!
