Gelfin « Big disappointment! »

UTILIZATION
Easy to use but it is very difficult to get an acceptable sound.
As a direct box you would think that it works well, but the beast saturates very quickly. the sound becomes filthy with a distortion pedal input. I tested with a Blackstar Ht dist, it worked better with the line output of this (planned to put a tuner, so no speaker simulation).
Interlocking the effects impossible to keep a clean sound "British" and "Us" in "Tweed" yes, but the sound is so low that it should add Drive, so its not clear if that!
The pots Treble and Bass do not allow a good EQ is very strange and difficult to describe, but there is such a lack of medium (no adjustment at this level) and an unpleasant surplus harmonics. I tested with an equalizer pedal, it helps but it is not that.
SOUND QUALITY
I bought it mainly to play with headphones, bad luck: bad contact at the mini-jack input, I triturated managed to find a balance and can test the pedal.
"Yuck!" After a few minutes my ears are tired and I almost headache.
I can not tell if the simulations are good for simulations (I'm used to real lights), what I can say is that we are far from having something nice.
And above all: its not clear. It is true that I tried with powerful microphones, but even splittant my doubles, lowering the volume of the guitar, it saturates. Conclusion: for clear sound: play empty!
And as saturations are far inferior to my pedals ...
Quickly try in the amp to see, but as it's not worth my amp ...
OVERALL OPINION
Once purchased, immediately returned to the store against refund.
So: try before you buy!
Now I admit not having tested the competing devices in the same price range, so I can not judge the quality / price ratio, if it is only 75 euros for nothing, it's lost 75 euros (good I had bought on sale for 52.50 euros but still hurts).
