Effect: overdrive, distortion, or combination of both.
4 knobs: Level (output effect), tone (tone), drive (saturation) and color (allows overdrive, distortion or mixture of both).
Input and output jack.
Powered by 9V battery, also has an output to 9V power adapter.
LED lights red to indicate that the effect is activated.
UTILIZATION
The manual is pretty useless. Setup is very easy to use, as many say now, just turn the knobs! But the race of the knob "tone" is very limited because the position between 7am and 12am it proves virtually ineffective. Otherwise the general editing of the sounds can not be done more easily and you can get a fairly varied range of sounds but that does not fit me. Against it by a jolly because it is very robust as all her sisters and cousins at Boss.
SOUND QUALITY
This is where this pedal does not suit me at all, but then not at all. I use a Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus and I play rock / blues / pop. This pedal has its own color of sound, its cold, metallic attack me ears, like broken glass piercing the eardrums. In short it is not suitable at all the research that I and my style of music. After it is obviously a matter of taste, but not for me. The overdrive and distortion are only fairly ugly and extremely cold. As for the mixture of both, it could have been interresting but far too metal for my taste. Also it produces breath when you start to grow. It is simply not up to what it offers.
OVERALL OPINION
I used it for 6 months trying to find a little something and make the most. Then I sold it. My quest will sound without it. But of course, of course it's a matter of taste and I was looking for a specific sound that was light years away from that proposed by the pedal (I'll repeat myself, so I ramble) is cold and metallic, and rather too aggressive with acute when does everything thoroughly. Having tried other Boss pedals I find that this is one of their worst product with the C3. For the price / quality ratio, I think we can find much better in this range or the range a little above. With experience, I prefer to forget the misfortune of 6 months, so I would do absolutely no choice. Since I found my happiness elsewhere.
