Disto Overdrive (preamp) at 2 levels with lamps in a housing ehx solid and huge! (Almost 3 Boss LxW)
true bypass with LED indicator
Only buy second-hand models that come with their power supply, otherwise you will not find a 12v cap of this format on the market!
Despite the strange choice of this connection, the power supply of 1000 mA is absolutely stable and causes no parasite!
UTILIZATION
5 knobs:
- Gain (first level)
- High, medium, low
- Volume (2nd level)
the config looks simple but the EQ knobs are very sensitive, the progressive mega drive is up to 12 was an overdrive with a grain really bluesy, it climbs beyond distortion.
not so easy to use that here in the early days, it then becomes more instinctive, it responds perfectly to the volume of the guitar which is essential to master.
The manual is reduced to almost nothing as always with EHX, I admit that I loved examples of presets to start but no regrets ...
SOUND QUALITY
The overdrive is great, really special with a grain, this pedal is anything but neutral.
the dynamics are great, and it responds well to be precise in highlighting the faults of the game, which does not necessarily please everyone ...!
The bypass is 100% transparent and the whole is incredibly quiet, no breath, no buzz.
I use it with an Ibanez RG-505 on the single (3), or in positions 2 or 4 for more aggressive rock.
Back in a combo Tonelab / Atomic 112, it took me an hour before finding balance settings to enjoy 100% this pedal.
I see the result in my config and I guess it really has eploser in a real tube amp!
I'm an add-on to me after 3 weeks of use, this pedal is great, FINALLY sound for me, just me, I can not hear every day (according to the boss ds-1, BD- 2 and SD-1!)
it's hot, FLOW, that answers the thunder god is alive, and when I want to calm her down and make it more "synthetic", I stick to a TS-808!
Do not hesitate to push the volume down even if the volume of the amp to take advantage of his temperament.
config my favorite:
11h volume, gain between 10 and 12, 10:30 hi, Middle 15h, 14h low
tucked into a metal muff, the grain is transferred to the distortion and gives him a cow character.
OVERALL OPINION
What I like most: an audio quality.
I use essentielemment in Overdrive, and it is the grail I was looking for in this category!
I have owned before BD-2, keeley BD-2 operatinginstructions and Monte Allum, TS808, SD-1, SD-1 operatinginstructions ...
my favorite so far was the BD-2 operatinginstructions Monte, but even the great Boss is not as good as living Français Muff'n!
What I like least: the EHX is huge, even bigger than my Metal Muff, and in three dimensions must be provided a bag just for her when we move!
A reasonable value if like me you buy it in Canada or US, 130 € with shipping costs + 10 € adapter 220-110v in Europe the prices of luxury pedals are a scam, thank you for importers and other wholesalers / intermediaries who until sugar diabetes!
If it were lost or stolen, or broken, I would definitely look for another!
