A further boost overdrive, nothing could be simpler. For the technical part, see Previous review ...

UTILIZATION

We can not be simpler. For what I play most often (blues rock), I need three sounds: A clean, crunch, crunch and a "boost for solos. Ms. not read the manual so it is simple ( Besides, I think not having;)). To clean, cut everything, without copmmentaires! APRs for the crunch, we can go from blues to more Lger much heavier (I n not use it, but good).
In short, it's clean, simple enough, so there is almost trivial in three minutes the sound you want. When I arrive rpt idem, three minutes to find the sound and voila, it plays! I put all the knobs of the amp in the middle, and I no longer play on the regulation of the focus MXR, a pleasure of simplicity

SOUND QUALITY

One branch point and we play to the line. It fully respects my game and the qualities of the tandem strat / Laney.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months. I tried lots of models, including Some of these were good, but lacked the "little more", ie the boost, which forced me to have a more complex pedal. Since I have I no longer use my multi effects, which will probably be selling in no time! What I like most, therefore, the total simplicity, excellent sound and respect for the instrument and is Zikos Behind. What I like least? Nothing!
The quality price ratio? It's expensive but totally justified by the quality and solidity of the unit.

I think I would do without hesitating that choice, and another guitar player who plays with me will probably crack in no time ... and also abandon the multi effect for 95% of what we play ...

I is not 10 everywhere because it's not quite the sound of a historical layers on a marshall head of era, but with my budget (and my level guitar;)) I for some years of happiness!
