A true overdrive pedals, ranging from simple to Global Warming crunch barely perceptible sound, grainy saturation trs 70 ', rich in harmonics, but not at all hollow, so with his tr s "vintage".
It is well rdition of the original MODEL popularis by SRV and others, Ibanez has taken over the manufacture of such MODELS APRS leaving few years, changing them later. Warning, this is not a simple reproduction with the look, it's the same model, with the same components, same manufacturers ... In fact, it's as if you buy the pedals of SRV, but new!

UTILIZATION

Config 'ultra simple: banche, we play!
Gain progressive tonality a trs simple, ranging from the less acute, less serious sound (instead of accentuating the default, this works in reverse pedals) and, with the Tone O, are identical and the bass sound like tufts (the Eric Johnson), and background, these are serious blows that are a little without becoming shrill treble!
The balance is in the same spirit: 0, we have a bypass, and background, the effect of the pedals is at the max!
SIM-PLI-SSIM!

SOUND QUALITY

Then, we take a drop of thirty years!
Hello crunch SRV, or drive to JIMI!
It's warm, singing, full of harmonics, it seems that adding a lamp in the amp!
Whether with a Start or a Les Paul is the absolute foot!
By comparison, I also possde Ibanez TS9, the census be rdition Tubescreamer the original, and well I can tell you that there is no photo, the Ibanez sounded much more "modern" the Maxon.
From blues to mtal, you can do anything! Of course, for the mtal, it will already have a good distortion amp, pedals or upstream, but according to rglages, it will add gain, volume, and according to the tonality we will more rounded attack or ...

OVERALL OPINION

Happiness!
A good scratching (the likes of Start US or a relic, or a Les Paul std or custom), the pedals, and a good amp lamp (same way: Ashdown, Peavey, Fender hotrod, Marshall dsl), and we can all attack!
I rept, but if you are looking for the grail of the old drive, the pedals are for you!
