Syzigy « Very interesting! »
Published on 07/09/11 at 16:50- This is a pedal built in collaboration with Vox Satriani. Vox would have responded at the color of his, a former Satriani pedal, and would have slightly expanded the switch "more" and a switch called "pad".
- In settings nothing complicated, a gain, EQ, and volume, basta.
- The housing feels solid, is pure metal.
- The color will appeal to some and maybe not to others.
- Pedal bill fairly simple and robust, its not feel the gas plant is more one branch, three are adjusted knobs and playing. (Thank goodness we are in the format pedal).
UTILIZATION
- The manual tweaks used by Satriani, and explains the function of the switch "pad", which is supposed to act on the frequency when it is active and that is coupled with a Satchurator Wah. In short nothing transcendent, I do not see too much difference with or without. The second stompswitch acts more like a boost pedal reserve. Grossmodo when you activate it you will gain and volume gain, but it remains proportional to the basic settings of the pedal. Let me explain, in depth with the settings you will not gain more by activating this switch. By adjusting the pedal against a rhythmic sound, you will easily lead to her, so practice, even very practical.
- Otherwise you turn the knobs and singing.
SOUND QUALITY
- Well I use this pedal with two guitars, a Gibson Les Paul tradition (classic microphone 57) and Jackson Matt Tuck (micro emg 81 + 85), all plugged into a Mesa Transatlantic Ta-15. (I use that Tweed mode for who knows)
- With Gibson's spit, you can have a bluesy crunch, but must not attack the strings like a horse and push the gain on the pedal. After you come back quickly in the area of distortion, and there ... how to say it is very large, you can cover the Guns, the Maiden, Black Sabbath, Metallica's ...
The sound is still a bit dirty, like rock n 'roll, in fact it complies with the guitar.
- With Jackson we are right now in the big sound. To lower the level of distortion in a crunch rather singing, it is best to lower the volume of the Great. By pushing the distortion and no matter the microphone is its own fuse harmonics, mutes the palms are heavy and pests, in short, that dun happiness.
- The big point with this pedal is the equalizer, I'd say go big ten hours max is more playable, as are more acute, and there made his ears bleed.
OVERALL OPINION
- It must be two years that I have at the beginning I bought it for a reserve under the foot to release a solo, after she married not too well with the amp I had at the time (A Marshall). I come from out of the closet because I am the acquisition of Jackson, and I wanted to throw her a "metal" on the TA-15 (which is not at all for her), while waiting for an amplifier. In the end I'm pretty satisfied with the report and I even know if I'll look for another amp. J'obtient the sound is a bit like a Peavey 5150 with still less gain.
- I would say that overall it is a good pedal, easy to adjust with a guy who's not too respects the guitar used. The gain is sufficient, and the switch "more" super practice.
- The problem is the equalizer, only one third of the race the knob is exploitable, and the switch "pad" does not add anything significant.
- I would say that Vox offers us a right foot, without revolutionizing the world of distortion. Can be a bit too expensive when it came out (around the 110-120 euros), just for signing Satriani and Vox brand. Otherwise the price / quality ratio is really good on occasion.
