RAS. Truly classic classics.
UTILIZATION

Three knobs: Level / Tone / Drive.
Everyone does his job.
* Editing of sounds and effects is easy?
Yes, the races of knobs are very large and very musical. It can happen to different sounds fairly intuitive.
* The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
Yes to an effect of this kind.
REVIEW:
Easy and intuitive. For cons, the pedal is pretty "high" so the switch can be difficult to activate if you play sitting down.
SOUND QUALITY
Small Rapidos Prologue:
I am not a "purist" OD, not one of those guy who tried 250 of 6000 different models that can be found among brands, but especially among the "models" shops and seeking the Holy Grail OD ring to ring ... For how else? ... Anyway, I was looking for an OD with some versatility, but with enough potato, a simple trick, PPQS (Plug and Play Who Sounds) ! A word, I know!
* Effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough?
The overdrive is very nice, very musical, and can range from mild to aggressive registry that can be even more enjoyable with a egualiser. It reacts very well in attack and stroke, has a dynamic very cool!
* Which instruments do you use?
LTD MH400NT, therefore mounted with EMG 81/85, I played in middle position on a Valbee.
* Which ones do you prefer, you hate?
I did, for now, use them only as DO, not boost. But DO, I like it a lot and I think to keep it.
REVIEW:
I put 9 / 10 because it suits me perfectly, but it must surely be better!
OVERALL OPINION
* For how long have you been using it?
* What thing do you like most/least about it?
More on:
The sound, ease of adjustments, the sensibility of guitarist in the game
Minimum:
The switch that I find a little hard to snap when you sit.
* Did you try many other models before getting this one?
1 OD Belcat, and a Digitech Bad Monkey. The two were desperately short of potato and did not sound as "natural" and "warm" that Maxon
* What is your opinion about the value for the price?
€ 120 for this pedal seems very honest.
REVIEW:
Really nickel, a pedal at all really honest perspective. If you want an OD that sounds without you choose to take the lead: DARK!
* Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
