Value For Money : Excellent
Overdrive pedals lamps ultra simple tone gain level, with direct output to PC (not tried. Lack ISF versions of distortion, but also a real legalization. Qualit manufacturing excellent. Irrprochable finish.

UTILIZATION

Ultra easy to use pedals as a "X". Level are pushed up to 3 / 4 to have a more volume that the sound lev clear base. The stomp switch is ultra-quiet, no noise of switch.

SOUND QUALITY

What grain! The HT possde a grain of its own, with a little something or Marshall (cousin but moves away), and the smallest subtlety rpond The quality of play is really overdrive PREMIUM, burying a lot of amps lamps cheap. The tone is trs ffective and influences the grain but do not Tolra rglage extreme if we are to maintain a certain harmony between the clean and saturated in terms of frequencies. I left East prfre the tone, but the sound is "dull" compared to the clear sound, which cre a dsiquilibre. The tone is excellent right rocks and biting. We arrive to find a balance. The sound is more noble than any pedals lamps (and I believe in trying a package whose main REFERENCE).

My only BMOL will be an abundance of bass, not deaf, on the contrary quite dynamic, but that makes it all more modern. Difficult to obtain a more mdium vintage-style Jeff Beck for example. It will have the advantage of nanmoins rveiller some amps (JCM900 or DSL for example). I prcise you get a good sound regardless of the quality of the light of the amp. The pedals have earned legalization avoirune true 3-band, more than the ISF.

OVERALL OPINION

TRS is by far the best overdrive pedals I've tried lamps. She buried, in terms of grain quality and sound, the mesa, Hughes & Kettner brunetti, and many of the vox sr I could try.
I nanmoins apprci bnficier of the Systm isf and / or legalization Settings, to get the record (in terms of harmonics) and management low, but it really is just about got: the pedals is exceptional, but will not join my pedalboard. I turned to HTDual, although I am not really "distortion", but plutt overdrive. The overdrive section has a little less gain, but is more malleable and faile Grable. And the distortion is not my time dgueu!
