UTILIZATION

Ah, at the config, as I have seen many galleys and some even claim that it was a crap about distos ...
Like all tube amp or preamp, the sound is difficult to master and each setting gives a very different sound.
However, virtually all configurations "sound" (clean, blues and lead) and EQ applied to each channel will give color typed. We must therefore find just the sound that suits the style and that's where it takes a bit of research / understanding of the product.

SOUNDS

I play primarily MusicMan and Mesa, but I tested it on many other amps (Fender, Rivera, Marshall and Peavey).
While I obviously prefer the sound Mesa saturation (we like it or not), the pedal has clearly raised the level on which all the amps I tried, but each time an adjustment period is necessary .
Level cleans, I prefer the Twin or Rivera, but the pedal brings warmth and dynamics on all others (Marshmallow and Pivouille).

For fans of big satus well muscled, two choices:
- Adjusting the V-not too advanced (8-2-8) clearly raise the master volume and thus saturate beyond necessary.
- The very substance that gives cons sound fatter and R'n'R, harder to control but very typical.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years now with great satisfaction as a subsidiary channels, live recording for some decision or even a simple distortion pedal.
Yes, it's expensive, maybe too much, but since I have, I use nothing else.
I now have two, if I loose the first.
