riffeur « Pedal I needed. »
Published on 01/06/11 at 04:33Tube 2 channel pedal that can act as preamp or overdrive by chaining.
2 in LR and LR 2 out jack format
2 volumes and 2 gains
A switch on / off
A knob input level low / hi
2 lamps 12AX7WB
Alim provided, doesn't stack.
- The pedal is 22 cm long (bent cables included) on 15.5, broad (PSU included), it takes up space!
UTILIZATION
Rapid test on my monitor speakers (mono): "input low level position" * the guitar in the R, R out in the L, L-out in an active speaker :
By varying the drive and gives a solid volume overdrive, but I just tested 5 minutes to go and include it quickly into my board and make the fateful test: do I let go 130 € for OD? Knowing that I already have 2 that suit me very well, or is it that I found my Holy Grail?
This pedal is THE solution I was looking for ages! Having a portable stereo, that is to say, have roughly the same sound everywhere (provided you have 2 amps available)
SOUND QUALITY
I especially could test the preamp side of the pedal, it is located at the end of my chaining attack and my stereo power amp or 2 amps (combos) during repeated (I play on amps of the scratch group with whom we share the room)
My chaining (in a homemade boiboite):
The scraper (Lag Rockline std Beadf-# b) / phaser / IV Whammy / 535Q Wha / vox bigben / Moen VM / TN SS20 / Giga Delay (stereo output) / LP2UBE (input and output stereo) / Peavey Classic 50/50 or 2 amps to choose from.
I therefore used in stereo station is 2 separate channels, knob input level in the HI position and permanently activated.
Remaining reasonable gains (from 1 to 3) gives a good clear sound, even with much ado about strings that do not crunch. By pushing the gains we get a slight overdrive but I do not really tested the OD side knowing that I wanted most of all have clear sound.
The 2 separate channels, it is frankly bonnard! At local, one of the amps that feature no longer works: the power amp blocked donf (sta knob virtually no work), the normal technique of a normal scratch would be to increase the volume of the 2nd amp to have the same volume of 2 sides, I have matured (authorship, no doubt), I lower the volume and gain the right side of the 2UBE hop and the singer is happy!
Note:
- No buzz parasite in this config '(tautology Provence!) As I would not initiate disto (lol) but as Lemmy said, "when you play hard, you do not hear it blowing!".
OVERALL OPINION
In Stereo (2 in 2 out) before attacking your amps: good little preamp from light to light overdrive.
Mono (channel 1 and 2 "bridged" see *) anywhere in your chaining effects: overdrive very suitable for the little that I tried.
Finally, I have a good clean sound, that's exactly what I wanted: a preamp "portable" that can fit into a pedalboard or remain permanently in a rack amp (with Velcro).
It adds depth and warmth to my sound, I had a sound of an elephant, I now have a mammoth sound!
I would do this direct selection, if it were possible I would go back in time even for having been around longer, but I do not have "DeLorean."
