« good versatile overdrive »
Published on 03/27/12 at 13:51This is an overdrive pedal, not editable, nor rack so. I think it's analog but without certainty. The connection is simple: 1 In, 1 Out, and an outlet (type with center negative Boss, classical).
This is an overdrive, dual in the sense that a toggle switch to choose between sounds "vintage", who will thus towards the sound of an amp that begins to twist, and sounds "modern" by adding of germanium diode. To my ears, the "modern" sounds a little more fuzz than the vintage, but do not expect to play the metal by simply plugging this pedal on a clean channel amp!
UTILIZATION
The configuration is fairly simple: adjust the GAIN desired, adjust the TONE (setting post-drive from the manual), add if necessary LOW (pre-adjustment drive according to the manual) and adjust the VOLUME. Finally, the switch vintage / modern allows the need for a sound (a bit) defined by choosing modern.
Finally, MORE allows the footswitch at any time to add 14 dB to the signal (according to the manual, I did not measure
), more than enough to go over her boyfriends music, for example when solos. on the other hand, beware, this is by no adjustable boost!
The manual is very clear, and even has 6 settings "Sound Settings from Joe" in the final pages, to familiarize themselves with the machine (I think some of these strong pleasant settings for that matter).
SOUND QUALITY
This drive is great. I spent a good half hour to choose the store, comparing it with other (no further details on the other, my memory missing on that shot!), And this is the one it had largely won enough votes.
The knob is set to TONE "so as not to go to extremes unpleasant classic overdrive pedals" according to the manual, and I find that yes, it can be used throughout the other its course.
The BASS knob allows bass guitars gaps (random, Strat or Tele) to beef up a bit.
I use it with my G & L Tribute Legacy, on my Vox AD30VT or my Peavey Delta Blues 115 depending on whether I'm at home or requisitioned / concert.
OVERALL OPINION
I use this pedal since its purchase in January 2011, after testing it against two other OD, who did not make weight.
What I love about this pedal is its versatility: it can range from very light to drive a wicked dynamic drive at the limit of the distortion, and sometimes cross the line with MORE, with a "voice" or more modern vintage as needed, and still controlling the tone of the craft!
What I like least, uh ... there are indeed two little things, the boost is not adjustable and not being able to have presets ... But for an OD pedal, I think it's very very good! So a Q / P excellent, and a choice I would do certainly, except to type in the "real" pedal, at least 1.5 times more expensive a priori.
