Countdown
Published on 10/12/12 at 13:28
Preamp "made in USA" lamps (2 12AX7, one per channel). It provides three types of sound ... a clean, a saturation and distortion if you can say (we will come back later!)
It is programmable (99 presets), controllable via MIDI.
The 4-band EQ, gain and level are adjustable via dials endless with great precision.
I states that "input" is also back and avoid being forced to "plugger" in front ... this is a detail that may be important!
UTILIZATION
Everything was very well explained in previous reviews ... I will summarize my way!
If the use is relatively simple when al "used to this kind of gear fiddling, the configuration is quite complicated by the possibility of adjustments to the millimeter! 2 knobs for mediums, including one parametric ... this limit is too!
You just take time to find what we seek.
SOUNDS
On three types of sounds, there is a clean, distortion and 2 sharing the same button. The biggest distortion is flashing at the loupiote button! This is to make the settings manually, of course ... then when everything is set and store MIDI control everything!
I used it in several ways:
Return-in amplifier (HT5, Ultra + V3M), and it was not terrible on the HT5 and the other good way ... as a lack of body, what power!
In a 120-velocity and rockit, it was already better, more accurate, in that previously returned!
-But then, in ENGL E840/50 a potato hell, even the metal most straight forward, the palm mute bad ... really big sound!
Like what, the notice said that the Piranha should be used on a Power lamp is perfectly justified!
I said that these were examples of using saturation and distortion ...
I am not an expert in clean to make palaver. Certainly, it is not crystalline but good Fender, then to say it is not good, no ... it gets the job done much ...
OVERALL OPINION
I tried JMP1 the Rockmaster, and the E530 it.
The Piranha is the one that convinced me the most (and yet I have more!) Thanks to its multitude of programmable presets, and distos very powerful.
Advantages: can be several different channels for each scraper that I have, all of which have different configs micro, wood key (or body), etc ...
Least for me, are the loop and sounds for solos difficult to find (when we find one, we "store"!)
I think that one day I would resume if the price is low ... just to the side of "nostalgia"!
