Published on 05/18/13 at 08:44Boost Overdrive.
4 pots, gain, volume, bass, treble. True bypass. Analog. Damage battery compartment requires unscrewing four screws. Standard 9 volt external power supply (type boss)
UTILIZATION
Extremely simple, requires no manual.
SOUND QUALITY
Gain "zero" was an extremely clean boost, which adds a bit of warmth and sustain.
Until 9am, very soft and subtle light OD. Above, lots of sustain and character.
The pots Tone very, very effective. And the top:. Above the distortion of the amp or pedal, the distortion becomes huge and juicy (leaving the gain of the low BB or below 10:00) It must be placed between the guitar and the amp. Beware, the sound is kind of sweet if you know what I mean, you're not in the OD or distortion rocky with gravel. It is smooth.
I played on lamps amps (Vibrolux, Laney VC15, Mesa Express 5:25, and CP60 Strat guitars and LAG Roxane RF1000 in P90) or transistor (Frontmann 65R yuck) In all cases, irreplaceable.
OVERALL OPINION
5 years.
I had plenty of OD / DS (OCD TS7, Zvex distortron, Jekyll and Hyde, Tech 21, Rats, DS1, OS2, etc. ...)
I have kept the latter over time.
I love everything about it except the price.
AND I would have preferred a blue LED, but hey, it's detail.
I guess another preamp with Xotic suit me because I use the BB with a low gain (9:00). IF it was not the money, I would buy the other 2 (yellow and white) just by addiction and to try.
