UTILIZATION
We must test all possible settings, "Eq" first and "your" post to get good sound.
Before posting, I went through the various opinions on the brand, and other models;
After listening moultes Boss pedals, a few "maverick" (sheep to 5 feet), and other muffin's, I passed the test of Damage Control:
1st test: the solid metal (red), easy to adjust, you immediately feel that they have something else in the pick, the rub comes from the feature scoop, oddly it is necessary to model because the frequency ranges, but it seems to block on a frequency of Wha wha so quickly unpleasant, "damage" because the grain happens right away, but then, compared to its two predecessors, one feels a lack of punch.
2nd test: demonize the (gray), no knob scoop, but a semi-parametric EQ 2 pots, I think it does, the more an opto compressor
Not satisfied and made many attempts to get at the end of a simulated sound of "Rock Fm" in solidarity, for cons in rhythm, I found very light acoustic rendering ...
Dire need of safe, the compressor "holds one together" sound, and it does not convince me, but as there are several models, one sound for each ... It's expensive duo! 299 + € 445 ...
Third test, after returning to the first test, more practical, but a little "duck", the owner of the shop tells me he has another, then see the Womanizer (Gold): lady or wha?
Even setting knob, but where the other two lack the "juice" that seems to have;
Oh I forgot, try a Fender Blues Junior 15 watt amp is not really for this type of Acrobatics (laughs);
There is a sense of transmitting the pick attack deeper into the effects pedal is more "Zizitopien" in rhythm, not bad at all;
In solidarity, it is different from the previous two, no effect wha wha duck, the compressor responds better, unless my ears get used to it (2 hours testing the toys 3).
The grain is vitamins, small snag, the notes are missing still sustain, unless the mount knob Fender, suddenly it hangs a bit, and it sings.
The "Nuclear" boost to the entire 14 dB is said, therefore caution when sending in an amp head, but it triggered, sustain expected, is still to go, for my taste. ..
Back to demonize all the same, and settings similar to the Womanizer "went all over the place" I confirm the tendency of the gray rock type lead to M. Schenker Fm (Scorpio), and still this lack of punch!
Then the red, the duck is still alive ... But easy to adjust!
So what to choose?
I have no distortion pedal, in principle I do not have the philosophy of the effects pedal, except Wha wha, I prefer the grain that delivers some of my pre amp or amps.
In all this batch is a dozen models tested, the Womanizer is distinguished easily, despite its lack of sustain;
An additional preamp or a combo, no, not yet.
So I carried under my arm, re test on several guitars and amps at home, well, compromise is interesting.
SOUNDS
My style, I would say the styles at the request ...
Appropriate for this model:
Yes, for the rhythmic hammer metal drumsticks;
Yes, for loose rock solid blues, and hardos;
No, for flights Schreder;
I tried a lot Kyphosis Ibanez, approaching the VBT700 acquired recently.
on a Fender Blues Junior, because: it is not made for that, so if it sounds above ....
This amp delivers a lot of harmonics and the pedal has it in spades!
The last two models have a DI output, but bypassed, no sound ... Ridiculous, right?
The simultaneous hp is correct without more;
As with any distortion, we must be vigilant about the "bees" frequencies, and that they are like any other, but offset by the pre settings (filters), it is very correct.
OVERALL OPINION
Bought it this afternoon ...
+ Grain supercharged!
+ The contour obtained with Eq
+ No breath, I gasped ...
- The output mute DI Bypass!
Yes, tested a dozen!
A bit expensive € 455, but it's nothing cheap peuchère ...
There is no absolute versatile weapon, so yes I do it again this type choice, ie, a slight compromise ...
In terms of overdrive, I have a park with the possibility of current stuff, too pure saturation, I had to complete its product range like this, and frankly, all I heard until to now has not convinced me:
In particular, the "bee" "clutter" the light of his "emulated" and especially "the breath" present on practically all pedals of this caliber on this one: breath = none, significant, right?
Curiously, the small Fender that sounded the best ... !
Harmonics ... hard!
Voila, a notice substantially complete, right?
************************************************** ****************************************
After one week of use:
The lack of sustain observed at first is due to the couple guitar / amp;
On a combo lamp with a guitar equipped with microphones to high levels of output, the rendering is much better, the note or chord lasts very well ...
I wanted to change course in testing,
Do not push the volume of the preamp of the amp because its host becomes rough, the Womanizer allows a very definite distortion, not the kind of porridge is very significant because the game is understandable, I spent this product a dozen guitars, and this is my feeling:
On a guitar like Flyng V, with powerful passive micro, we joined the club of "dragon's players"
Genre paf 90 335, ancient sound of the seventies, the "Chicago Tansit"
Genre Start, indeed the club "Jimi"
Genre RG, Mr "Pettrucci"
Genre "Lespaul" heavy rock
The particular side of the object, is the ability to go from clean to distorted sound, through steps that are not subject to purchase this type of product, ie, of the clean with the body, it certainly comes from the combination opto compressor and EQ, the quality of the thickness of the clean and crunch sound, enhance the well-connected amplifier.
Now it will come off the idea that this product is purely a niche in "Metal Zone", invest in a pedal specifically dedicated to this genre.
For the name Womanizer, it is the function Eq reminiscent wha wha!
This pedal really has character!
So I change my overall score and brings a 10 ...

WARNING ************************************************* ********************************
After more than two years of use! :
1 / Also in this action "Preamp Pedal!"
It gives me satisfaction, especially in the clean sounds (weird for a distortion).
2 / Change last year the two lamps EH cons of Mesa (Mesa not only the name), the grain is less acute, more tight, it stabilizes the seat is sound, at the expense of saturation, but by forcing the gain is more pleasing to the ear.
3 / It's only the morons that will never change, therefore, I still gained there is a little over a year, the little red Solid Metal and demonize the big gray, tell me why you ?
They just sound different ... Not badly, just other sounds, and that the matter can only enrich the diversity!
And especially that the manufacturer has been hit hard by the subprime crisis US.
Small business in California. Sincere condolences to his lovers.
So I hastened to redeem the full range (6 items) ...
These are Jewelry Collectors ... More coast! just supply and demand.
The Nexus and Timeline are staggering opportunities, clarity and grain!
A real pleasure.
A / The Solid Metal, very tight grain, a little bee can deliver something else: A little more time to adjust, I also placed two tubes in her womb Mesa, on a good Amp lamp, it saturates "to sustain you want "on Garry Moore.
B / demonize, Fm is really rock and hair metal with Hard TungSol in V2 and boost nuclear Inrush, furiously singing it better than the womanizer!
I said well that Y = C. .. changing it!
Damage Control: it is strong in taste (lol)
