This is an analog distortion pedal, everything is simple.

UTILIZATION

So that's the configuration of your dreams: not easy! A gain knob, one tone knob, and volume. There is also a button with which you can add more distortion and more accessible to foot. For fans of "plug and play", this gem is for you. Lovers' control panel airbus "go your way ... Regarding the manual, Well .. there's no need.

SOUND QUALITY

Going directly to the heart of the matter: It's mind-blowing! I was looking for a pedal that would address the lack of medium of my amp (ashdown 60w all-tube, very good amp, but with a hollow in the meds). I can assure you (or not), it is not because it is signed Satriani, you have the sound of Satriani I did not take for that). I hesitated between the Blackstar HT Dual (tube), and this one, and after testing for 1 hour, I chose the satchurator. It goes from a slight crunch (TDCA), has a large distortion in the medium marshalienne properly inflated, but with low well presented (if the amp provides the back), style guns or zack wylde. In short, enormous versatility, and a big sound, but still hot, so those looking for the sound of a cold mesa boogie will be moving towards a metal zone or something like that. The tone knob is very sensitive to: it can drastically change the color within a few degrees. But I find it interesting that until the first half of the race. After the acute destroy your ears. Other than that, I really rediscovered my amp. What's great also is that you can radically change the saturation of just playing the volume knob on the guitar and the pickups. (I play on a lag roxanne: it is in the style gibson)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month, and I finally get a full appreciation of the sound coming from my amp. My favorite is this versatility, the warm sound, ease of use, and especially, the impression of playing with a wall of marshall (as with my tube amp double body, not with my fender combo transistor ). What I like least is the sound loud when the tone is more than half. I also tried the Boss DS2 (it provides enough) and the dual blackstar (very good sound, but less swollen in the medium, especially twice as expensive). I find great value, especially for a signature model. I obviously do it again this choice with experience.
