«  OD + boost, it sounds! »

Published on 03/29/12 at 11:46
It is therefore an overdrive + boost, non-editable, non-rack, and a priori analogue. The connection is simple: 1 In, 1 Out, and a plug-type Boss 9V center negative.

UTILIZATION

The config is pretty simple: four knobs and a push-push switch to adjust the OD, a footswitch to turn it on and off, and boost side, a knob and a footswitch.
On the OD: GAIN knob for a ... gain, and if! Then a knob TONE for tone.
The push-push switch, lets wording VOICE according to the manufacturer to give the pickups to sound more like double. But what about its action on the double?? I can not answer that question because I only have the single coil at home. Anyway, it is true that the same riff played first in "off" then "on" (I speak here of inter VOICE, not pedal!) Will sound more "muscular" in "on".
Finally, the third knob for OD is a MIX, which enables the determination on the part of the original signal that passes through the pedal to the far left is 100% dry, and fully clockwise is 100 % wet!
And the last knob, LEVEL his nickname, adjusts the volume of the part OD.

Note: the two "sides" of this pedal are independent (can use one or the other, or both), and I think the signal first passes through the OD and the boost.

To boost the party, a BOOST knob adjusts the boost level (really???).

SOUND QUALITY

I use this pedal with my guitar G & L Tribute Legacy, on my amps Vox AD30VT or Peavey Delta Blues.
On a clear sound, the OD is very nice, a very light crunch to drive a big upset, especially since the MIX knob can leave part of the original sound in, retaining more direct attacks with only the sound triaté. The boost can be used to highlight an arpeggio or a solo in the clear, although it's more of a compressor are entrusted with this task.
On a clear easy to distortion (simulation "Boutique OD" the AD30VT for example), the OD as the boost can push the amp (modeling, in my example) to arrive at disto full of life.
Two things I love about this pedal: the MIX knob, and the inter VOICE.
Things I hate? No, thank you!

OVERALL OPINION

I use this pedal for about 5 months now, after trying in its simulation Amplitube 3 and have decided that I needed to!
Compared to my Vox Ice 9, I would say that Moller is less versatile on the OD, maybe a little less to my taste, but that the presence of independent and adjustable boost is a real plus.
The ratio Q / P is "average-good": this is a pedal that is very good for my taste, but expensive (240 euros new, and I watched the PA of AF for a few months to find it it at 160 euros!).
With experience, I'm not sure I'd do it again the same choice. Not that the pedal is not good, but I'm using very little group ... : Sad:
