Electron in perfectly summed up the situation;)
I only takes 7 for 2 reasons:
- Switch the "crunch" is a boost channel "clean", and can not switch with the pedal ... And besides, when you switch, you boost the volume, because no two separate volumes
- The bracket is a plastic relatively shabby, old and poorly

UTILIZATION

I bought OCCAZ 'without a manual, and I have never felt the need ... not rocket science, therefore, from the test in the store, I immediately pulled out a killer sound.

SOUNDS

I wish he is a real clear sound ... but I confirm what has already been said, this is not the case in nature.
But I still managed to improve the situation as follows: in the effects loop, I put a Boss GE-7 (equalize graph) and EH-2 (enhancer) (I have not settings on hand, but those interested can email me). The sound is slightly more crystalline with both pedals. Ironically, the lead channel is even more brutal and cold with these two pedals ... there, it sounds like a Metal Zone boosted the amphetamines' ...

The crunch is probably more punchy sound that lead some amps ... pulse that serious, but it lacks warmth for a tube amp ... it sounds a little metal ... is not the goal of a crunch
(And worse anyway, it's not a real channel that stuff ... not super useful for my taste)
For my part, for a sound a little more roots, I use a clean sound with overdrive.

On the terrace lead everything in its path. A 3, there is no part that remains on the wall ... This amp is a brute ... you love it or hate it ...
For my part, I think again it lacks (a little) heat lamp for an amp while ... but hey, this amp was designed for metal guitar hero, and in this context, it is a pure killing, the sound is huuuuge.

OVERALL OPINION

My thirst was quenched power ...
