    A "TS like" convincing!

    Analog technology.
    No true bypass, which does not necessarily suit me too, I like it when a pedal switch to slap strong engagement :) However, the bypass is good, it does not alter the sound

    UTILIZATION

    3 knobs, effect level, gain and tone. Note that this knob "tone" is effective! (Which is not necessarily the case in od).

    SOUND QUALITY

    A beautiful OD is supposed to be the most faithful replica of the time TS.
    The overdrive in any case is progressive in winning with a specific tone setting.
    Here you have to like the well-known of these pedals "TS" with a medium tone pronounced texture. Here it is served!

    OVERALL OPINION

    Used a fortnight.
    Purchased used after all the great reviews I read everywhere on this pedal. I had already tested the reissues Ibanez TS, I did not like it at all!
    I can not say that this pedal is not good, however I had this as confirmation that I do not like the sound with this bump in the midrange!
    I do not refereai this choice, however, for those looking for a typical "TS" sound it can be a great pick! Especially at these prices!
    The price - quality ratio is excellent!

    No regrets

    This is a classic overdrive pedal, a POT for adjusting the effect of overdrive, one for volume and one for tone.
    An input and an output mono 6.35 6.35 mono, powered by a 9v battery or 9v power supply such a negative center boss.

    UTILIZATION

    Configuration is very simple 3 POTS, no need manual need to pedal quickly found the sound, the whole being to know your stuff.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Yes the effect is present and perfectly realistic, it's not a distortion or a fuzz or a treeble boost, the sound is that of an overdrive.
    Respect of the instrument and the amp, it does not spoil or the soul and the stamp or sound.

    Respect of the instrument and the amp, it does not spoil or the soul and the stamp or sound.
    I use as a single pedal with a strat is a twin reverb, I've taken a lot of fun.
    Now I use it with either a Strat, a Tele or a copy of SG, I rarely used alone (+ CP9 maxon OD808, OD808 or V3 + OCD) and mostly in a bassman 100 head. But in a WEM ER15 ...
    I do not hate anything in the sound of this pedal.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it since September 2006, at the time I had to buy United States;;
    Younger I had an overdrive pedal ARIA, but so much the effect of breath.
    the POTS are sensitive and can easily disrupt a hitch and when used the pedal with a battery change is not practical.
    United States import, duty free the value taken was excellent.
    I do it again this choice.
