Oscar the Grouch « Born on a Bayou »
Published on 04/23/13 at 03:17This is a tremolo using a photo cell, according Fulltone like pre amps.
The tremolo owns the outside:
3 switch:
- Bypass: to turn or etteindre effect
- Speed: to double or halve the speed of the tremolo
- Hard / soft: to move from a sine wave to a square wave (I'll explain in the 'use).
2 knobs:
- Rate: Adjust the speed of the tremolo
- Mix: to adjust the amount of signal "tremolo" in detriment of clear signal.
On the inside:
-Volume: increase the output volume of the pedal (it can be a "vintage" boost, hihihi)
-Waveform of the soft mode (allows "carrer" more or less the sine wave)
UTILIZATION
Despite its many settings and configurations remains a pedal easy to use.
It is a very versatile tremolo because:
1) It will change the waveform very easily with the foot. Pressing the switch hard / soft you can spend a tremolo as in 'born on a bayou' Creedence something more trippy as 'how soon is now?' The Smiths.
2) It also doubles the speed without necesite initially set to decline, by pressing the switch Speed.
3) the size of the knobs (oversized) Rate and Mix can manipulate live with the foot (or toes).
Cons:
1) The adjustment of the volume to the inside of the pedal, so need a screwdriver if the volume is not appropriate.
2) The pedal takes a lot of space in the pedal.
SOUND QUALITY
The sound quality is excellent.
There is no loss of volume during the activation of the pedal (as happens on other tremolos).
The sound is warm and fortification.
I use a Gibson LP Std.
In (sine wave) soft mode I play mostly in clean.
In hard mode (square wave) I am using a carbon copy (just behind the chain of effects) to produce a more trippy sound.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 6 months.
I bought eyes closed because I am a big fan of John Fogerty and CCR, I read that used it for his last record, so I am asked me (I can be done to have it, lol). In any case I Creedence sound I wanted.
It is a very expensive pedal and take up much space in the pedal. I suggest you get one, if like me, you use it a lot for you songs (you play the coutry / blues, southern rock, surf, rockabilly). Its level, I think she has no competitor, but if you want a tremolo to use a very timely, it is more appropriate to move to a cheaper pedal.
I am very satisfied and I would choose without hesitation.
