Analog overdrive pedals, small (type boss) for his super, standard power supply (I use it on one spot daisy chain). Connections very simple: in, out and power supply.

UTILIZATION

The config is super extremely simple! No need for manual!

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is standard ... do not think as long as it's a big sound, no, it's an overdrive in the end, not a distortion, so do not sustain a folly. But yet, a vintage sound, I use a fender blues deluxe is standard, and coupled with the drive channel of the amp (also trslger) gave an overdrive a little more boost is really trying ...! I use it often as a booster with gain of 0 clear sound, keeps a cot clear sound with little saturated shades accentuated when a little touch. I guess on a transistor amplifier, a must do so as well because it's the adjacent lamps death.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost a year. I never ssay the TS9 to compare, but this is really standard. However I thought that the amount of gain on the channel bottom drive the amp, I would get a bit more saturation, the coup in complment I bought a big muff, to stay in the vintage, but basically its heavy (both at the same time blend well). I repeat, no maxon od9 to play Metallica's (for Ms Hotel Tokyo is not enough, yes, yes!), Has left an overdrive, but sounds vintage death. Its bargain price is really not standard, and change the poor simulations that can be found in multi effects for example.
