Published on 04/16/13 at 08:52overdrive "light" analog handmade to states. three gain knobs volume tone, and a little bass boost switch. It is simple and very effective. Note that the case is solid and quite heavy, the switch looks really costaud.Alimentation by 9V battery or ... This pedal is supposed to give the sound a JTM45/plexi thrived, so a loaded medium overdrive and many fat .
UTILIZATION
Configuration simple and classic for this type of pedal, just the little switch bass handy as the desired sound, it also allows you to have two different grains, or compensate when using with multiple instruments. For the sound, it's not complicated. One branch, and whatever position it sounds ... it's just awesome. manual ... uh ... I think I did not even out of the box ... The knobs are very effective, and very fine adjustments ....
SOUND QUALITY
The sound is simply hyper realistic, especially if you plug this pedal into an amp all-tube, and we play with a good guitar ... Personally, I play on two Gibson Les Paul traditionnal mounted seymour duncan APH2 slash, and SG reissue 61 mounted in classic 57, the gibson's happening in my pedalboard which consists among other overdrives following: Xotic AC Booster, Wampler Plexi-Drive and Blackstar HT Dual (used only on channel 1 crunch) and MXR a boost, and this little world is connected to either a Marshall Class5 head for home and rehearsal and concert head marshall vintage modern 2466 and marshall jcm 800 a baffle in celestion G12-65 from 1980 (the HP bring a more real in terms of its small grain .. the lower midrange so pleasing to the ear ...). I use my head mode with low detail settings and 15H to 12H body (therefore already an overdrive light) . My settings on this pedal are 14h gain, tone and volume to 12H to 11H. So when I use it with my Les Paul, the sound is sharp enough with a moderate gain, highly reactive with the right hand and the power that I give if my attack is sweet, I have a sound almost clear on the other hand if I attack frankly, I get a nice dynamic saturation.
With Sg 61 reissue, it's not complicated: it is the sound ANGUS YOUNG. I am the guitarist in tribute AC / DC: BLOODY ROSIE, and when I run any lead or riff small school, it is the perfect grain, I am surprised every time I play titles like "shot down in flames, if you want blood, back in black, highway to hell etc ..." In terms of grain in my three overdrive pedals, it is "softer" even if it pulls hard, then I Xotic AC Booster which the grain is a bit fatter and thicker grades are more wampler loose with and for big sound I keep HT dual grain and much more modern.
In short, if you are looking for the AC / DC and you already have a marshall tube and SG but you lack that little thing .... stop looking ... you've found THE pedal with ... Les paul is the sound of Led Zep jimi page very 70's and with a sharp edge which pierces tremendously mix in a group without playing louder than everyone ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for two months, and I play it every day with my two gibson ... I take my foot every time I send an agreement, it's just magical. you really feel like an old vintage marshall head pushed forward almost .... except that the volume is perfectly reasonable .. well ok it is more fun when pushing the volume a bit and the we feel this vibration in our guts magic grain!! I had some kind TS 9 Pedal Boss BD2 and other big muff pedals describe as the "standard" but this is something else .. nothing comparable, not its price .. it's still the double of pedal factory made in china ..... but the quality is to go .. and I'd rather have half the pedals, but have this quality ... With the experience I remake this choice without hesitation ...
