This pedal has four knobs: level of output, acute, serious and level of distortion. We also notice a switch that allows you to choose from three distortions: blues, pop and crunch. Finally, note that there is a built-in noise reduction, with three levels of adjustment. Otherwise, there was an input, output and power supply. The construction is solid, the pedal is heavy, it does not slip or break under foot. The trap of changing the battery works well. I also have another Line 6 pedal on which the foot control is more difficult, yet it is the same case ...

UTILIZATION

Operation is very simple, it's a distortion pedal, not a fighter. The manual is in French.

SOUND QUALITY

The sounds are beautiful. Blues and crunch sounds are warm and full of Hamon. The setting offers a pop saturation very slightly creamy. The equalizer allows you to set the sound and the integrated noise gate makes many services. Small flat, I noticed it was easy to accidentally change the settings when the pedal engages. I use it with tube amps in a single channel and various guitars (LP, Start, Variax ...)

OVERALL OPINION

I appreciate the versatility and beauty of this pedal sounds. It does not offer high gain distortion, but that's not what I wanted. Before I used a Boss BD2, which works well too, but I think the Line 6 is more complete (two-band EQ instead of one, several types of sounds, noise gate ...). I like the overall strength of this pedal. Small regret: the portards I find too easy to disrupt. Warning! It seems impossible to connect a Line 6 pedal with other pedals (Line 6 or not) on a single adapter (with a garland, for example) without having a big buzz. It is very stupid!
