«  'S like the Hi-Port ... »

Disto + "More" which comes boosting the channel depending on the gain level set. The pedal is metal, beautiful red color. Robust, it inspires quality, knobs, switches. In standard 9v power supply. Presence of a mini switch "pad".

UTILIZATION

Very simple, you look at the manual right away. Everything is very intuitive. The knobs look impeccable, neither too soft nor too stiff, very smooth and quiet switches when switching, no crack, whatever the setting, moving from one to another. The

SOUND QUALITY

Satchurator is rather transparent ... at the start! It does not color the sound. on the other hand, with the gain goes up, we're moving more and more towards his typed in March .... It works for the SRV, Hendrix, Guns. She is beautiful and good "signature" Satch: I found myself back riffs worship (there are rather the sound of the album "Crystal Planet").
The knob Tone is used on the first half, staying pretty late. But after the half, we will instead hear a DS1, but at least usable (the sound of the 1st albums satch with "crushing days").
The "More": it acts differently depending on the level of earnings. With the gain to zero, the "More" will be the gain to 3 / 4. After that, the "More" will boost the volume above and a little more body.
The mini switch "pad" seems a little blur the attack, especially if you put a wah before ... It is not super obvious.
Finally, Volume, and although it serves only to adjust the output level, no action on the grain or gain ...


OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several months, I had been able to compare with other distos the same price range, and I have not hesitated to quality and sounds fab. For cons, the signature is not misused, we will be happy if you like Satriani, typed or saturation. In any case the quality is really there, and saw the bargain price, I think that is an excellent choice. For once I have not had the feeling of paying only "signature". I would do this choice, yes, but beware, not for the versatility of saturation.
