Value For Money : Excellent
- Effects: Overdrive / Distortion
- Analog pedals
- The effects are not ditables via a Mac / PC
- Jack IN / OUT Jack - It's easy

UTILIZATION

- The configuration is very simple gnrale. It happens easily find its appropriate. One of the highlights of the pedals is that you can make it sound aisment a guitar with single coil. (Scratching my main: Fender Telecaster with Seymour Duncan pickups) - (I take with my old example of overdrive pedals, Behringer home - even if the quality of the Behringer pedals BOSS and do not compare - The Behringer n'tait not "audible"). The sounds are simply excellent. A stroke of knob and presto, we move between the distortion or overdrive, or both, or more than one and some the other, etc ...
- A classic textbook that Submitted the product, explains every knob (and for once, correctly described a manual in French ^ ^), and found the end the pedals virgin, in order to write its rglages prfrs, super ide when you know the versatility sound of it.

SOUND QUALITY

- The effect is effective. sounded great. In fact, it's my BOSS pedals Premire, has been a while since I wanted to buy it, thanks to his first shuffled the overdrive and distortion. For his type of sound, it is versatile trs. The knobs are sensitive trs, we can spend a good rock sound with overdrive (gain background, MIDI and Tone Overdrive mode) a softer sound, neck pickup (see 2 0 Gain, Tone in the bass, or noon, and in both modes), we can make small arpges nice ... Anyway, it a lot more possibilities sounds, as this is an example. And I think it's a pedals that do not bleed much, in fact, we come to distinguish all the notes, specially when the gain is the bottom. Rare that I can not find on my amp ... Finally, it is soft and aggressive, really well, and with my Cry Baby, I saw: indeed, I can have her screaming as I do with this distortion, pure happiness.

- I use it with a Tele and a copy of SG, a Fender amp and Vox AD15VT 15W for home, for a Marshall 100W RPTES, but I think without ending for a Fender amp 100W for RPTES.

OVERALL OPINION

- I bought APRS Tuesday afternoon. When I try in-store, direct, love at first sight. has sounded great ...
- I love the wide range of sound, moving from a mild sound distortion trs agressivit with a "correct" for rock.
- I have not tried many MODEL. I saw the pedals first, and I hooked her live sound. I could take a chouilla cheaper (the Ds-1) but frankly, I'm not big on sound basic Disto. I'm originally overdrive, and this combination is perfect for me, it is possible to change the sound to his mood or the needs of a component.
- Report / Qualit excellent price. When I started several years y'as buy effects pedals, I turn first to m'tait Behringer, with a price dfiant competition. On some I bought I kept one for fun. I switched to multi-effects, often (from my multi dernire dated, I still possde and is very well), and I just bought my Premire BOSS. A super sturdy pedals, all in a box in Intgr mtal me that looks great solid (nothing to do with the Behringer).
- Yes, I would do this choice, but I would try to watch sparment pedals (distortion and the overdrive), just to compare noise.
PS: Metall nags of scratches, go your way, the pedals are made for rock;)

Good scratched all: D
