Manu C « An overdrive distortion and high quality! »
Published on 11/23/11 at 13:55Pedal overdrive and distortion.
Battery or mains via adapter.
1 volume knob (Level).
A gain knob (Sustain).
One button high frequency EQ (Hi-Cut).
A mini-button to switch from overdrive (Stage 1) to the distortion (Stage 2).
UTILIZATION
The configuration could not be simpler.
The manual is almost useless.
SOUND QUALITY
The quality of this pedal Fulltone is exceptional.
The definition is breathtaking.
I use it plugged into the clean channel of my head Rectoverb 50, for an alternative to the distortion channel Sat natural saturation of the head.
The guitars are used with a Peavey EVH Wolfgang and a Jackson Soloist SL 1.
The two sounds (OVD and distortion) are as good and interesting one than the other.
OVERALL OPINION
I use this pedal for 2 months.
Before her, I used a Tube Screamer which was perfect for me to use a crunchy sound or very occasionally to boost the signal to my Sat Recto (I use is indeed a very moderate gain setting). But I really was looking for a sound alternative to the compressed sound of my Boogie. A typed his Marshall. I tried several models until my dealer offered me to try the Plimsouls.
The result exceeded my expectations.
I play (with this stuff) in a group of heavy-rock and for some compositions, the sound is perfect Boogie for others too compressed, too runny, too big ... too Boogie-what
And there, with the unit, I have a more rock'n'roll with a defintion to die for, and where I really feel like two different saturations if they would swear that I ' uses two different amps. In short its a Marshall and a Boogie ... its the same amp head!
I have at last two distinct saturations. And as I use mostly Stage 2 of the pedal (pity we can not access the Stage 1 to Stage 2 via a footswitch, the only downside of this pedal), I just drop the volume of the guitar to have a crunchy sound.
In conclusion, I emphasize the high quality of this pedal.
You'd swear a natural amp distortion and it's not modeling! (But the fact of the plug into a tube amp head helps a lot. I do not guarantee in effect a result as conclusive on a transistor amp).
An excellent choice for 200 EUR (fair price I think given the quality) I do not regret, nor the guys in my group who are all crazy-
Last things this pedal can naturally mix well out live (I play in a band with 2 guitars) and finally, careful not to abuse the Hi-Cut knob or tinnitus-beware ..
