A good analog distortion, robust housing and very pleasant
though not beefy knobs plasticky, efficient bypass

USE

Step setup
simply manipulate the pedal a few minutes to grasp the full potential and understand rglages PRE POST

SOUND QUALITY

The rendering is bloeuffant with a Strato, a tl or even a les paul.
I even tested with low to push further the test, the new step.
a is not the first use, but without going bad.
so I was pleasantly surprised, it is the dynamics of an amp lamps we find
artec mistaken on this. full volume on Crunchys sounds, even a adclenche
super lightweight warm tremolo gives the impression to touch the sublime.

its more than convincing in all registers blues / rock and even folk for clear but electric sounds.

the price quality ratio is total, the case is beautiful, well built and sturdy.
you can do anything with, warm clean sound the limit of the beefy crunch distortion for challenging in ACDC records and big sounds. Hendrix, SRV P. chubby and its largely the ropes of this marvel of distortion. at the size of the case is a bit bigger than the Boss size but still small enough to not take up too much of a pedalboard.

NOTICE GLOBAL

Used for several months, I love everything about this distortion.
what I like least looking good, is not to have, unwanted with a 9V battery.
it holds out for several weeks in intensive game. I noticed that my old 9v battery but not completely discharges too nazes other matriels pass this distortion, without any loss of or remark. a way to finish the HS cells, of course home, on stage or avoid repet. I'm all fawns feed it with a power brick Artec also. the pb is solved. with the experience I'm glad I made this reference not too known but who wins really becoming. go there with eyes closed, it's 100% ok. the kind of pedal that makes you want to buy four or five, just by what you feel to have found THE rre pearl. A blow sr, this is for me a sre value I keep very long. I plan TWIN home Artec that if it is as good must be worth the detour.

for now it is not too much OCCAZ but ds that will be the case I throw at me, just to get at least two Cool Drive in stock and not knowing whether the brand will last.
