SOUND QUALITY

Much has been said about this nice bug. I bought it originally for my color made. Well, it's pretty cool.

I plug in a stratovolcano, a jazz bass and a condenser microphone. Then I attack my Boss BR 1180 digital recorder.

With my strato, I use the patch from my boss br 1180: comp, eq, chorus simulator HP and I remove the amp simulator, using the presonus. GENIAL! , Here we are close to the sound of a tube amp: high, medium, large ... I've played on a JCM 900 and I find the characteristics of the lamp in clear or slightly crunch. The Drive can saturate the lamp and it immediately gives the thickness, a nice overdrive .... With one strat we are in the world pink floyd, shine on your crazy diamonds ... For patch against the EQ and HP are essential because the sound out of the presonus lack of acute and is void and without HP simulator must be as well bypass the amp simulator ... otherwise the original grain of the presonus is embedded.

Gain and drive to the bottom, it makes a good disto realistic genre hard rock ... but not too personal I like her too ... metal grain.

With the jazz bass sound also becomes fuller, rounder. It's a little more discreet with the strato.Faut say that with the jazz bass sound is very thick at the base, but the improvement that is.

With the microphone (studio project C1), the sound is full of thick, rich voice is full of medium size, with a good compressor is the top. I did a lot of testing with / without and it's flag, guaranteed results.

on the other hand I had to tweak a lot gain and drive, pay attention to it because the lamp saturates very quickly around noon hour. On an electric guitar but it's going to voice it means tt on, especially if you push a little song ...

The set is sturdy except for the lamp holder inside. The lamp is very firmly down and is very hard to remove. Personal I used a screwdriver and I do lever at the base of the lamp gently around the crown as the lid of a pot of paint. I tried an old Marshall 12AX7 I had changed an amp ... It's not terrible ... but also seems that the original lamp is zero, or good, will have to try something else.

In short a very good camera pr color the sound or as a direct box good. But beware, this is not a transparent preamp at all, even the gain and the drive to zero, the color is there. I saw a new version would come out: with two meters in front seen such tube pre, and all the connections on the back ... he has even more mouth!
