Weehbo Morbid Drive

Analog distortion pedal for high gain;

- 3-band active EQ with mid band choice (low, mid, and high) with push / pull 3 position, and depth to push the knob 400 Hz (low medium)

- Gain and volume (level)

- Switch ryhtm / lead (eg boost for solo) in addition to the on / off (true bypass) / red LED visible

- Power switch 9/18 V (do not worry, the change is internal, your power supply and / or 9V battery is a commonplace. The sound is not quite the same dynamic in each case ...

UTILIZATION

The manual is in German and English, contains some useful reminders ...

the config is surprising at first, especially on midrange system, can be disconcerting at first, as there are ways to scuplter sound! That's why I put only seven, one must understand the interaction existing between the different controls.

But once you understand (rather heard) the effect of each knob, this becomes easy, because everything has something to do here, no buttons to look pretty ...

SOUND QUALITY

The grain I was surprised by its accuracy! You can type in the light (although you can feel it may be down, but I spent much more time the next biggest, so, it is surely a story of settings and interactions amp / pedal) and of course the heavy! You can navigate between the British and US mediums through which control is very effective and very subtle.

I use it with a Fender Pawn Shop 72 live in a Laney Lionheart L5T-112, and I finally have a disto warm, organic and powerful desire, and no draft (later, if desired honeycomb, it is also does very well ^ ^), which I missed so much! I reach without problem sounds Satrianesques, Floydiens, or ... Van Haleneux ^ ^, or so the harder or Death ...

It clears all full of harmonic and melodic and is open (not too sound compression, it is fun!), If one takes the trouble to set a minimum the beast. I do not think it's for the extremely heavy, the gain is high but it is not in the philosophy of the 5150 or Krankenstein either! The other blackeux COREUX and will head to another as I mentioned just after ...

OVERALL OPINION

I did that for several days, that being said, I just exchange it against one that I bought in the same store (store reference to the effect at Pigalle, you know ^ ^) who was the Mesa Negra in Mana, handmade of very good French, which was of excellent craftsmanship, but in my experience not suitable for my unfortunate 5W class A, which restored his evil potato at low volume ...

- After, go for another try this if you find there (there are only 12 for now ...) in a large 4x12, it must tear! I could try it on the mesa combo mag, it was beautiful ... (What about consistency!) -

To return to this Morbid Drive, this pedal is a real TUERIE certainly expensive, but I did not feel like swinging my dough in the air. It replaces my TS808 I intend to sell (pretty shimmering grain in the mids, but not enough gain for my taste, and really no bypass at all! Where are the bass, midrange and even low?!?)

I would do if this choice? hehe probably, but for now the matter should not rest because I'm not ready to let go!

I urge you to at least try this pedal, in the eponymous store (oups. .. free advertising? In any case, by the way, they are really passionate zicos before vendors out there, great patience, trial full of different pedals carefree, with smart tips and suggestions in support. what else? ^ ^)

go youtube! it has lots of demos for her, one example here:
