UTILIZATION

Very easy. 2 minutes and it's good.
The range of tonal trs effective, not have to put back the treble for the prsence for once.

SOUND QUALITY

Two possible uses of the pedals I think:
- On a clear
It's part of a trs trs close its bypass the drive 0, the pedals really respect the original sound, going up 1 / 4, it was a lightweight overdrive, always in spirit of that of the receiver (here Laney LC30), but less fat, more sec. Many of attack and prsence.
A 1 / 2, we dj in the big crunch with humbuckers, color, sound does not change, always dry and trs Dfine, full of attack.
Pass 1 / 2, the gain does not change too much, a bit more sustain, feedback was more easily and lose a little in my opinion DEFINITIONS. Prfre I leave in half. Tone is the half for me, there are plenty of stroke of acute Reserved.

- On Crunch
The amp is crunch dj (Laney LC 30, gain 4 / 10 with a Burstbucker LP # 2) the pedals RULES at half the volume gain 1 / 4 or a little more, and Tone in the middle of the attack and adds a little gain, prsence in the treble. Trs cool, gives the impression of a back attack and prsence of the amp when playing high volume, efficient apartment, has added a "plus" trs flattering.
By means against the best bread ...
[edit] In fact the gain is probably prsence of a lightweight hollow in the bass. The pedals and a little food, in fact, I feel the pedals compresses the spectrum.
Trs is good on the clear sound of the amp, a bass eats a little on the crunch but is still a good boost for solos, if not the low priori.

OVERALL OPINION

I used a lot of pedals for distortion of MODEL and OD, that I used to boost up the now silent Marshall BB-2, trs good too, but I think that it suits me better after all!
The only food she BMOL is a little low, not a big problem for me but should be reported.
I use a boost in their crunch mainly plutt home to add more attack and prsence for now, I will test a high volume to see if I really useful later.
Trs good pedals, it rated not much opportunity, why pay more?
