« Dynamic player's pedal »

Published on 07/14/11 at 13:20
Today amp market and gear electronics have everything you could ever want to help sculpt your musical journey. There are no gain amp, clean amp, mild gain, medium gain, hotrodded, super hot-rodded, high gain, brutal gain, and an assortment of things too long to list. There are some amps that are tight and unforgiving and then there some like Marshall or a Mesa Boogie that are more forgiving to the player's touch. Then there are some amp that the more you dig in the distorted it gets and the more you play cleaner the cleaner it gets. This is commonly referred to an amp with dynamics. It is highly sought after and said frequently describing some high end boutique guitar amps. This is a pedal that essentially does just that.

SOUND QUALITY

Just like the Boss pedals BD-2 and Od-3 this pedal responds to the dynamic touch of your playing style. So the more you really hit the strings the more distorted the tone gets. If you plat lighter and fluffier then the amp will clean up with your touch. This is an interesting pedal for those who want more feel from an amp with no feel. i am wondering if this would help out the amp modeling world. As many of us know the amp modelers sound terrible and have NO dynamics. Perhaps this pedal would aid in that correction. Well needless to say this pedal does do hat it claims to do. It is cool if you don't have a very good amp.

OVERALL OPINION

At new these pedals come in right at around $89. which is a good price. This pedal is good for someone who wants to add subtle distortion overdrive to his tone and wants it to respond with precise dynamics. I would recommend this pedal to someone who needs a smoother subtle overdrive o r someone who needs to feel the amp better in his or her touch.
