See the other review

the pedal is very classy, ​​aluminum on top!
it weighs, we feel that it is not fake
Everything is there!
the sound will depend largely on what you put him behind! (eg speaker, and then power amp as well)

UTILIZATION

I did not even look at the manual, there is no besion!
-The sound is at once in crunch rhythm and lead
-In short, it is less obvious! (Along with a bc-rich emg ....), in the equation is effective in lead, but less clear ...
I just noticed that the equation is interactive!
it works like a front!
First the gain, then acute then the midrange, and bass!
A lot of sound, how lead trash to lead the last 80 years!

SOUNDS

4 channel preamp!
-A rather clean way because too loaded medium!
I did a test on a 50 mg dfx!
on the other hand, coming out of a 4X12 correct, the clean was much better!
Music soft-crunch, with fat and grain, very nice mids
-Rhythm, although dynamic, the pedal has a barrage of bass, but very tense at the engl (Here the equation and play its role very well, lots of sounds available ...!
Its lead-Perfect Pretty close to a 5150 with the grain still in mediums that kills!
with an EMG, I have a huge gain as much as on the front, but with more midrange!

For now I tested it on a transistor amplifier, without setting a valuable is the presence!

I am thinking that was the deal of the century for those who want crunch and lead that kill!

I define the lead:
Very dynamic, much as a engl e520 for example (I've owned)
Less compressed, and the media much more alive and expressive
Are powerful and the treble give a cutting edge which makes palm mute real enjoyment!
Huge bass, I remember almost as much as a correction, but more tense!

the only repproche I have to do is the clean that did not seem to be at the height of the other sounds! (but hey, I recall that I have a bridge in emg)

I would further test with a clean boost, through the power stage of my roadster, change louppiottes to see ....

edit of 16/06/07

I test the simulation hp verdict in the forum section, there are samples .....

OVERALL OPINION

150 euros for up to four sounds great and good that needs to be worked!
A look I like it strong!
In short, I adopt it without worry!
with an amplifier that has a presence control, it must be divine ....!

I have yet to test the simulation output with HP ...
see you soon for samples!

Edit from 24/05:

The samples that I made, I take comfort in the feeling that I had by connecting for the first time!
a big slap in hi gain!
it sends all That a front or a 5150!
The next sample, I'm back with the mic 4X12 correct!
And as it bore mediums, compresses the sound while providing more dynamic sound, I already know it's going to kill!
Almost no wind, for it heats against a lot!
it's really a case this small preamp!

Everything has already been said, a preamp lamp (2 x 12AX7), 2 channels, 1 input, 2 outputs a combo the other mixer, power supply, 4 knob (2 volumes, 2 gain) for the CHANNELS and 3 knobs for the filter med bass frequencies.

Pedal well finished metal, sturdy, not seen it for ages with us for sure, it's Russian.

UTILIZATION

You plug the power supply, the eye of pteronyssinus lights to say hello, Just set desired volume and gain of both channels are then passed to the equalizer, bass meds acute, Titus lights visible through the small grid Aeration glow discreetly, it's time to fuck her! ---> For a simple fall on the other side of the wall! EM's true ah nan yen more ... forgiveness.
one caveat, however, I see one big flaw: when is clean low, the volume of sound is almost inaudible, when moving in HI, there was the attack on the lamps and the gain of the clean, then lead with his specific volume that is not adjusted to that of the clean. We can not use the clean or low-bypass (because I do not know if the sound goes through the lights in that position) as "his" fully in less than sacrificing the heat gain on the other channels (unthinkable The pteronyssinus would lose all interest).

So use a partially amputated, too bad.

SOUNDS

Well there you attack what angry: the tastes and colors.
I consider that a metal-lumberjack dla old days, a scratch that loves big sound. The stage is set.
I play ibanez jem7/rg570, needless to say that pteronyssinus boss mt2 swept from under my feet, the grain is different, the treble a little fuzz, I'm not a fan but a change of lamps can improve all this. The balance of volumes lead is clean but we need to push the volume of almost a clean bottom ...
changes in channel footswitch is very discreet, in large distortion, the filter meds bass treble is not very effectively, and finally less than desired ...

Otherwise, an impressive range of clean, crunch, fuzz ... etc ... to good old metal even if the pteronyssinus in this area is still a bit lazy, a bit more gain would have made the beast a real demon.

Lamps changed for Tung SOL: huge! what was missing is there under the Panard!

OVERALL OPINION

I use the 1 month pteronyssinus repeating, and live homeset.
What is important to note is that I used as a distortion pedal, which is (I think) the case for many musicians who own or possess.
is the main asset of this object: no pedals optional, not required to have a rack. And its high quality for a price slightly higher than a good effect transistor.
This is a great product even if it remains open to criticism here and there, one can always nitpick. Try to find elsewhere, a tube preamp at this price!?

It is therefore very little time I use it, and I decided to give me a little "hot" because I had filled all over and I expected something evil, a real mesa -Boogie Triple Rectifier in a small box of 16cm in diameter, well it must be said that is far closer to them but not so expensive

The preamp pteronyssinus is a lamp with a variety of sounds, distortion pair off lamp (the coup ...) one of his exellent base in fact.
