jimilu « Marshall in the box! »
Published on 03/09/14 at 10:19My opinion concerns the version III of the pedal. Analog pedal, standard format, aluminum case, 5 knobs middle, treble, bass, master and pre-amp gain used, it is supposed to represent the front of a Marshall stack.
Intuitive for those who are accustomed to using an amp, nothing complicated.
Inside we find a switch that toggles sound kind superbass (JTM 45) or Superlead (JCM 800), according to the manual switch and a presence. To finish the tower owner pedal is true bypass and can be powered either 9v (battery or AC) or 18v which gives more "headroom" regulars understand!
UTILIZATION
This pedal is part of the series "fundation overdrive" as they say in Catalinbread, ie it sounds and acts like a real amp. It accepts pedals very well placed in front, such as overdrive, fuzz, whawha.
The knobs respond well and can quickly find a tone. Only downside open the pedal to act on internal switch ....
SOUND QUALITY
I think this pedal transcribed very well what it is supposed to recreate, ie the sound of a Marshall, it's still very typical, while those seeking a classic overdrive will be disappointed.
I think we should see this as an amp and pedal instead use an overdrive pedal to like the place in the entry already crunchy amp. It is in this version that I use. I have a Xotic AC Booster Fuzz and 69 'home Fulltone placed before and frankly I love it. With a Strat, the fuzz engaged in the DLS, a wha is Hendrix voodoo chile and under the fingers. With a typical skyscraper Les Paul that also works very well, the sound is fat and easily adjustable via knobs.
OVERALL OPINION
I now have a step back with this pedal it's a few months she sits on my pedalboard, use live no worries. I hesitated before buying it because I read a really negative reviews, but found Cygnus, I thought the worst I revendrais if it does not suit me.
In my opinion a try before you buy because it may not suit everyone, but for me it is a very good pedal.
This pedal is in direct competition with an impressive number of overdrives typed Marshall, SL drive Xotic, Wampler, MI AUDIO etc ....
As often imported products the price of new high, Cygnus is more affordable.
