Published on 06/01/11 at 16:28One month I have is analog of course, but also heated tube little or not on the distortion is generated by the lamp. Tunable and switchable noise gate. Silent switch and walk every time so it's probably not a true bypass ...
A blue LED pedal power (illuminates the entire room) and a red disto engaged well seen.
The supplied power supply is tiny and takes up no space, cool. No residual noise, it's clean.
You've seen the price?!
UTILIZATION
Very simple and not too flexible, but we know where we are.
The gate is great, essential (and I weigh my words) with my lp 60s tribute p90.
It does not cut abruptly, you just adjust the treble a bit, it's a great job very happy.
The equalizer works very well, and made optimal frequencies always natural, grain base is all the time.
Gain very progressive, starting at noon at ease both in the grain dynamics.
Unchanged tube or anything, it sounds nice as it is so ...
SOUND QUALITY
The sound: a bit dark, thin to the base and beaded in the coating, it's subtle and effective at a time. The HD300 brand sounds almost like the base, except for the pearl of the envelope, so I think that the tube does not produce color distortion but "only" son.En fact, sounds more vt pretty-harmonic-catchy.
With faded gibson les paul (humbucker alnico5, bursbucker pro) is to gain one to two hours for a well suited as hairy as rhythmic solo. With the tribute in p90 gain is way down to the same effect.
The guitars not sound the same, but the identity of the pedal is very sharp, always on that side a bit dark and nasty but catchy class.
It's vintage, yaka connect the xd 300 of the mark to realize, much more present and puncheuse / very aggressive.
Besides, do not be fooled, for the metal is not mind-blowing vt you need but the XD300, in direct comparison it's weird when one returns to the VT999: it seems that it lacks everything! Si si!
In short you need to know what one seeks, komdab ...
OVERALL OPINION
I would do this election is more than clear. I had the tone king ibanez tube 999 to the last century (..., hard!) And Bébert sounds much better for six times cheaper!
I will still test the beast with ten tubes that hang in my box of surprises, we never change ... Update if warranted, of course!
