UTILIZATION

intuitive, but "not easy" ... Each knob affects the sound accurately, as a result, even if there are only 4 buttons to rotate, ca ben asked me a while to really get to my control! it's really good stuff that reacts well with a bit of time to use it, it gives you a good kick in the c **!

Note the two possible uses, in front or in the loop ... I like the effect in both config, still with a preference on the front (personal opinion!)

true bypass effective when the pedal is passive I do not see the difference!


9 / 10, it is excellent, the settings are quality (which is not true of all the pedals!)

SOUND QUALITY

need to develop good lines of 100, as prior reviews (and surely follows) say it is the bomb: D

There's a warmth in this little orange box which leads me to want to take it apart to check it crame not! a clean, well you go from "yeah it's cool ... the clean channel saturation j'passe good?" to "fucking guy, but you feel the blues roots?! but if listening!" ... your sound thickens, becomes hot, as already mentioned organic ... increase the gain and get a crunch to love a scratch of metal greencoredeathtrashbeurk good vintage blues rock or small!

a crunch or lead channel, well you take your sound, you say "like something is missing ...", you plug the pedal, press the switch and then you swing" bah in fact it was this! " ... crunch in the guts it takes you, it's dripping smooooooooooth, really musical! for lead (in my case a little something to smooth Timmons), your game it is really beautiful, legato out alone, in short, your solos sound really different way!

I note just a little flat, with some adjustments, you increase the noise of friction on the strings (on a channel saturation is not huge, but must find fault ...), and if you push a little gain, ca food your imperfections (thus giving you the illusion that personal vosu play well xD I love when my amp in the head me back my breads, I find it a bit flattering)

good except for two significant point above, it is really excellent stuff, no problem!

OVERALL OPINION

There's bought one and a half to € 180 and wheelbarrows (not filled with tickets of course)

j'avoeu have been a victim of this coup, I wanted to have one its really the timmons so I'm not gone by 12 paths, I took like him (even if it has a signature model now. .. to test) ... I discovered a little over time, but for now none gave me the same effect as the BB ... This warm, velvety, creamy organic that what ... j'me remember when I put on the clean channel of my ex lonestar special to clean the small or very thick crunch ... the best moments of scratching my life x)

the most:

- The soooooooooooooooooooooon of fooooooooooooooooooooooooou!
- Reactive settings, turn and acts really ca
- Pretty good solid case with good finishes

the -:

- If too much gain, flattering effect on the imperfections of play
- Rubbing noise when the strings tjs too much gain (metallic sound like a mouse by the teeth of a cheese grater ... of course it depends on the settings and amp behind but still ...)
- Prices still high
- You can really do without it, without using one thinks constantly missing something in the sound ...

anecdotal value for money ... almost € 200 when I bought it (I know it cost today cb), it hurts when it goes by ... but when you look at the input to your sound, I think that is the ca ... I will meditate on it the other day!


of course I do it again this choice, unless I find better anywhere!

9 / 10 is an essential element in my config: D
