Budda Phatman

This is a basic analog distortion pedal, with quarter-inch input and output jacks. This effect is not MIDI capable, and can't be edited with a Mac or PC. It's not rackable. It has a 9 volt power supply and also runs on 9V batteries.

UTILIZATION

This is an interesting pedal for an overdrive, as it's got a bit of a different setup. It has a "mode" button, which will switch the tone from a specific kind of overdrive or distortion, all of which vary in intensity. The next knob is for volume/gain, followed by a tone knob which controls the amount of low and high end on the pedal. Finally there is a contour/frequency knob, something you don't always find on a distortion pedal. I liked the uniqueness of the pedal in this regard, as these knobs are generally found on the amp itself, not a pedal.


SOUND QUALITY

I like to use this pedal with my Strat and Fender Twin, and I've also tried it with my Les Paul and the Twin. I was expecting a lot out of this pedal, and I expected the sound I got with it to resemble the sound of a Marshall amp. It didn't really come close. Considering that I'm not totally in love with the Marshall sound anyway, I wasn't too disappointed as much as surprised. I did get a few good sounds out of it, but I found more often than not the distortion effects were subpar. I think that I was fooled by the fact that it was a Marshall pedal.


OVERALL OPINION

I would recommend it to any younger, less experienced player who doesn't want to spend a ton of money on a distortion pedal. I did get this thing pretty cheap, so I would have to say that it's not a totally bad purchase. Player's who've already shelled out the money for a Tube Screamer or Big Muff and are looking for something on the same caliber would be wise to look elsewhere. The sound quality is versatile enough for a beginner but nobody else really.

I put 8 / 10, because another switch to choose between two saturation, in order to have a choice between a crunch and overdrive, t would be good (as in tube factor of Hughes & Kettner)

UTILIZATION

Setup could not be more simple: four pots, one gain, one bass, one treble, volume 1
trs edition sounds simple, corrective effective enough to form the sound with precision recherchbr /> simple manual (1 sheet to give 2 / 3 examples of sounds), but for this type of pedals not need more

SOUND QUALITY

We finally addressed the chapter INTERESTED: it's a real killer! From the crunch the most lightweight disto big, it covers all needs (except mtal: for there is a zenman of budda also with a total gain increased by 25%) with a sound quality issue: heat, DEFINITIONS, precision
saturation is rich in harmonics and one tural musicalitbr /> I use a G & L Start and Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and pedals that fully respects the nuances of the game (essential for the blues) and its sonic palette allows you to play all types of blues and rock (up to Deep Purple to give you an ide of saturation possible)

OVERALL OPINION

This is exactly the pedals I was looking for: trs as picky about sound quality I wanted one with his pedals brings something amplifier lamps while maintaining the original sound, I 'm not and I would do exactly the same;
I tried also the mesa boogie bottle rocket (it is also strangely similar) have not been available both at the same time it is difficult to make a comparison, but I would say the budda DEFINITIONS possde can be a sound lgrement suprieure and saturation can be a little more important.En least two products are similar and trs enthroned at the top of the pedals saturation and the price seems high even if it is justified by the quality of the circuits, the choice of tubes, the density and sound that one gets.
