«  Apart from the breath is rather well »

Published on 05/10/13 at 16:30
Note, I have a simple (not 1x) version 1, with the following differences:
fixed chorus, no tone control, no control dist.

The machine is like my late rockman, supplied with more and less so 6v 8 6v batteries. As against the Nobels comes with the specific power supply.

The following front panel controls:
6.3 jacks for guitar input, output L + R, phones and stereo output. Cursor to the master volume trimpot for the intensity of delay, chorus and delay to push. Rotocontacteur for different sounds.

In side:
trimpots gain for input and for the compressor.
6.3 send and return jacks for footswitch and latched kind (which calls a distortion presets without downtime)
minijack to the power supply.
It is hard to format and then, and all analog

UTILIZATION

Very simple, it will be the former namely to dedicate headphones suitable given the total lack of equalization, and stay stuck on a scratch since the turn trimpots mini screwdriver ...

I note a significant blow, but the loop is perfect to put my boss ns2 and finished worry!
To use the amp as nobels clean with your favorite pedals gain should set its gain to a minimum and almost half the compressor, it is so clean and pumping.

Scheduled for console in that its spectrum is very balanced so rather lean in bass.
I think the lack of equalization is more elsewhere.

SOUNDS

Of course you can not play with him and a footswitch, the available gain is rather low and it blows.
I use it as a preamp gain pedals between guitar-heads and class A, so it gives me the clean reverb and chorus. NS2 is essential in this case.

Excellent light, compressor sly but audible, a beautiful chouic on supported attacks.
My od and distortion pedals out great, it's good to set the compressor!
Delay half gives a nice reverb guitar amp over the stereo width.
The chorus is a treat although not adjustable, it cut a little bass and clean and the stereo effect is stunning.

The maximum output level suits my heads (12AU7 in V1) and poses no concern console.

Grain integrated overdrive is interesting, but you will not rock with.

Again, without noisegate this is very painful.

OVERALL OPINION

I had totally forgotten, thank you to the previous tester!
Course contact spray for plugs and buttons, and tuner 600 for trimpots, while terrible crachouillait but returned in order. Less fun, the cable in the power supply outlet (not removable without the saw) was only a loose connection, but given the special format it was worth repairing.

I like the clear, the compressor, its potent effects in a situation, and the fact that it is completely analog. It is compact but very readable, and convenient to integrate (attaches to the handle of the amp).
If I compare the zoom 9000, it has much better breath but its authenticity and answer questions, a lot more natural.
A niche product in okaz check the power supply and it really works (a LED that lights up does not mean anything).
