Jacques Stompboxes Tube Blower

Small overdrive pedals (a takes the place of an MXR more than a Boss)
4 knobs (drive, low, high and level)
True Bypass
Hatch for battery trs think well (below the pedals opens without tools), and certainly not the ugly usual form for 9v battery, but two plates of copper, we put the battery into the trap ( Heiniger in the right direction!) and closes, that's all.
Socket for power supply sector

Designed in France by Jacques Charbit, and manufactures in Europe (no more than dtail, but must be in Marseille in the first place rsidance Charbit)

UTILIZATION

It is less capricious than I expected, it will rev quickly find a good sound, thanks to the effective and intuitive knobs trs (two knob EQUAL do wonders).
The battery cover trs well think (even if I supplied via the mains)
Solid, compact, ...
short as boxes in this section

SOUND QUALITY

Well, things srieuses, how it sounds??

Ben you take a TS808 (you know the legendary Ibanez) and you add a qual that allows the whistle to cut off the mediums she dgueulait so happily, a bit of gain and dynamic ... Tadaaaamm made a Tube Blower, a very enjoyable OD, hot desire, good boost to the big fat ACDC crunch through all imaginable shades between these two limits.

It sings a living, has fun and is made in France!

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>In boost or overdrive (mtaleux refrain)</span>

Yeah, I do not really know what has got to do, as if that were used in 7-string Ibanez EMG81 branches in Mesa tripple front with the gain donf

It can be quite pretty with transition metal
I use it for personal lines mlodiques fawn Paradise Lost or My Dying Bride, and I put the Drive knob at half APRS legeremenr become fuzzy, but there's still the gain in stock.

OVERALL OPINION

I tried a bunch of OD (Digitech Bad Monkey (excelente for the price), MXR Wylde (Gniale, but see me (https://fr.audiofanzine.com/produits/avis/index% 2Cidproduit 2C42819.html%) above, do not put all the amps, Boss SD1, ...) I was looking for sth trs near a Tube Screamer, but that does not have the annoying propention d medium's mouth, and I order this toy DCID directos its designer (via the website http://www.ts808.com/), not necessarily finding empty store, into a exhaustive testing, and bingo! pil hair what I wanted

I highly recommend it, it can only fill ammateurs Overdrive and more of it comes from us not to waste anything (a bit of chauvinism has not hurt)

Like everyone else I will not rpter lon that can read above ... hehe
résumé to:
Take the tube screamer increase the capacity to drive and you have the blower tube

UTILIZATION

Exellent resistance of the knob, which allows an adjustable prcis,
no one turns a knob back so it was thought to have barely touched.
against by the switch is a logical stompswitch then I wearing caterpillar not let me go like a nag if the effect not engage
if the case is solid, I still try to jump but it should take
the battery compartment is well thought out although I use the area.

SOUND QUALITY

The possibility of this are enormous PDAL
it's just a clean boost
(Sisi we cut the drive is it's great!)

cruncher his amp for blues vintage sound
(Ideal for phrases is in this context that I use this pedal more)

chopper or an overdrive for the good old 70s rock
(AC DC, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple)

This pedal sounds vintage trs, it is ideal to boost an amp lgre saturation. I personally do not use it as a distortion or overdrive on the clean background, at least not yet, because I am rather soloist and no rhythmic

it is eventually used in saturation for solo rock
I confess I have not explored this possibility ...
I love the blues crunch
I was editing my post when it's done but I s it must fully completed this rle

OVERALL OPINION

I show up at the store to try a blues driver (yuck)
my dealer told me I would like an Ibanez TS7 ca-looking plastic with knob that goes into the pedal and turns crazy
yuck too ... I even asked him if he did not care about me gnark gnark
then back to the blower tube jaques telling me like it's a guy that makes marseille ca reues I have this morning!
and the rve I fell in love from the first notes and also it would also have a set of cotbr /> love with her hot lamps and good overdrive of this type I prompted by trying to adopt
against it by a trs type pedals blues / blues-rock or heavy type ac-dc
(Although it uses only the saturation of their amp ... I quote just the group for the register huh, and it's a personal opinion)

then metal-punk-grunge and love fat saturation and heavy drop!!
PS: it works well for a DS-2 Bosst too (mode I, j'instiste, sisi)

Pedals for overdrive / distortion.
A gain knob, which can also be used simply boost the signal if you put the drive in the mini.
A button that will drive the lightweight STRID the overdrive distortion.
Two Tone buttons serious aige.
All we ask one of distortion pedals nothing more, nothing less!

UTILIZATION

Use empty.
Turn the knobs ... The rglages are a formidable efficiency.
Changing the battery in the trs simple pedals.
On my copy via an external power supply mini jack, this is less common-ct of the Atlantic (-1).
It will be ending for parrait have a choice.
[edit 2005] That is, the new Jacques pedals are compatible with standard connectors for power supply. Thank you Mr. Jacques! (+1)
Robust copy of the case, it's tough you can shoot it without problem!

SOUND QUALITY

All of this intrt pedals is at the sound quality:
- Wider range of distortion than most other brands (TS9, TS808, SD1 ...)
1-2 button on drive: a simple embossed on the clean, on 3-5: a nice bluesy crunch well, 6-7: you attack the real area of ​​distortion, 8-10: we feel that is threaded through sounds more "modern" dmnage srieusement.
- SETTING THE Tone effective: a boost of bass and was a Marshall type sound, a boost on Aiges and we find ourselves in the universe Fender.
With single coil pickups you get a pretty nice overdrive with humbuckers very hard.
It is the one learns to use SETTING THE volume on the guitar; o)
Disto characters trs "tubes".
I do not know about you but for me it's a quality CRITERIA.

OVERALL OPINION

I have since 2004, I do not change it for anything.
I use it with either a head or with a tube amp is always a rgal transistors.
Gives relief even when it added the distortion of the amp.
The Tube Blower carrment out the lot without falling into caricature.
More opportunities and less than CHRE TS808!
