Piedrot « Versatile little, but unique. Try it! »
Published on 12/18/11 at 15:04This is an analog overdrive germanium, so old school.
Now, germanium, for most of us, it's like the active bifidus yoghurt, it is mostly a marketing argument, no one really knows what it is and what has .. . but it is vintage! So it's cool.
Note that I say or that they should feed a germanium pedals with a battery or a transformer isolated output (no insertion in a "chanage" diff between a power supply So rents pedals)
UTILIZATION
Operation is very simple, there are three knobs: gain, and a bias volt.
... And it's not common!
... So that the use, though simple, is quite extraordinary for an overdrive. It is not what most overdrives are, but what he does, no other OD does, and that it is the trs trs INTERESTED and original.
The gain is increasing the level of saturation, nothing extraordinary, therefore, everyone has understood. Except that it does not expect a "big" saturation, even the bottom (you can push it frankly in the last quarter). If that's what you want, it's not for you.
The bias and the knob of trs volts are interactive and requires fiddling to find what you're looking. I use roughly two fawns:
1) With the button volt bottom. The bias then changes the color of his, I say the color that works a bit diffrent has a "tone". The more you push the sound is more sharp and rich in harmonics, but at the same time has also changed the tone. That said, it's pretty subtle and tense tural variation is relatively small in comparison but a classic OD.
2) Lowering the button volts and gradually climbing gradually bias the button, we get an effect "battery use" (like the "Velcro" some fuzz but less clear and less aggressive) with sound is dfait, grsille and dnature little bit. And suddenly, it's progressive and trs range of possibilities is quite stretched between a pokey that cuts its all just an attack on the APRS mdiator and just enough of grsillement. It is the sudden need for ttonner a moment to find what you want to use. INTERESTED Trs.
These days, I use it with an option, much like a boost, the channel of a saturated dj amp (Marshall JCM 800). Solo, gives a small gain in volume and sound incredibly thick and rich in harmonics. Of all the overdrives I've tried one that works best for this use with the JCM800 (and I tried a bunch!), Although it is not for the a of origin. In this use, a noise gate just prvoir derrire, otherwise it's a real gas plant.
He suffers from a single default: unlike all other overdrives and distortions that I know, there is no volume knob gnral post or output gain to compensate for the increase in volume proportional to gain, so that when the triggers adcorne suddenly the horse, even if it's not a plant gain, and everyone you dtest. One solution: let still adapt its branch in volume gnral consquence and he just stick a boost for solos or derrire another passage o we need to be a "before" . And in this case the there is an integral part of your sound, convincing Manir trs and four times cheaper than the boutique pedals including "do-it-can-be-more-go -a-times-they-are-engagement "
SOUND QUALITY
I love his tone color and timbre trs CHARACTERISTICS it brings, without dnaturer the sound of your gear (as can a fuzz for example).
IDAL is a little saturated his sixties, yet powerful and robust, and if you like that sort of his garage (just Sonics, Kinks-Beatles nerve) or you are looking for some original sounds, see exprimentaux, the antithesis of the smooth dor Edge of Satriani (who also its quality, but its gots each), was worth a try. In ttonnant a little, it becomes quickly cratif.
You can spend a lightweight OD trs that colors the sound subtly sounds dlibrment "imperfect" (like "battery use"), but you have to have the usefulness .
This is my case.
OVERALL OPINION
A deprecated those who seek a versatile OD and passes across gnral and those looking for a good saturation especially hairy.
on the other hand, if you want to think outside the box, to sound a little sixties (but not that ...) or express a little strange sounds dirty and make it part and parcel of your sound, there is no better quality price.
Note also that it fits every type of guitar (I tried with Tele, Les Paul, Strato, etc ...) and it blends well with the trs amp lamp (I uses no amplifier transistors, so I can talk).
