Sobbat DB-1 Drive Breaker

Overdrive / distortion of Japanese manufacture.
A Level knob, a Drive, and a dedicated equalizer in two: high and low.
A standard 9V battery or AC ...

UTILIZATION

Easy to find her.
The knobs Level / Drive a race have made good progress, we go from clean to saturated distortion of the bass has quite naturally, it's nice.
The two knobs tonalite are very effective.

Overall, the selection range is wide ... we can not at an end of a knob, saying it would take more, I find it very valuable.

The least: access to the stack, which is accessible only unscrewing the back plate. Considering the price of the beast, I think it's a bit limited.

SOUND QUALITY

The is the fiesta.
It is enough to make ... a high quality overdrive (what one would expect of a good Tubescreamer, and more "full" and with the flexibility of equalization and more) has a good big distortion.
Strengths:
- The distortion is full and rich, but remains clear and natural. It saturates, ca distorts, but the dirty guitar sound, which is well respected.
- Excellent sustain, it sounds good and it is long.
- Very good control: lead attack, volume knob on the guitar etc.

Playing with the gain / EQ and according to the amp, you get sounds that remind SRV, Robben Ford, R. and G. Howe Kotzen, Zakk Wylde or pushing all this has donf.

Perfect for boosting a good tube amp: overdrive in the clear for a good blues / rock, a channel for the heavy saturates which is full of harmonics.

It seems to me that she eats a bit of dynamic bypass ... has put in operation in the chain of effects, therefore.

OVERALL OPINION

Excellent sound, boost in overdrive, with big distortion.
I have not misused the club for blues / blues-rock (average gain so a boost). Plugged into the tube amp, it sings, it lives, and the personality of the guitar is well. I love! It makes you want to play is the biggest guarantee of quality.

Very few defects ...
Very good stuff.
