setting with a few guitar or bass. not need more.

SOUND QUALITY

its level, this pedal is great! growl of very heavy and greasy, super punch to the distortion! even plugged into a guitar she spits thunder! only downside, I can not find a use knob to "warp" .. it may be me who cock? in fact is a central location (which is shifted to the left for that matter) to knob, and when I turn left or right, it sounds like going to hide behind the amp ...? has not understood ...

Fender Aerodyne japan, PJ pickups config.

I put a 9 because of the warp ..?

it is quite expensive we will say. jlai new paid € 130

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Distortion / Overdrive analog.
Input and output jack
Battery or transformer type Boss
Pedal format.

Small defect: Like mxr, I do not see the interest to connect the transformer just a cluck of the output jack. It is quite impractical. The color is pretty cheesy.

UTILIZATION

Like any good distortion pedal, it's simple but both comlexe. If we put everything half already obtained a good sound. But it requires some adjustments to make the most of supp the beast.
The manual, uh, is pretty, nothing else has used.

SOUND QUALITY

The distortion is really very good.
I use it mainly on guitar (Gibson Les Paul + JCM 800 LeadSerie)
It is really bluffing. This is the first time that a pedal allows me to spend some crunch from the amp. I tried BOSS, MXR, Carl Martin, Ibanez, and every time I lost all the grain of the marshall. L I am able to connect on channel Low, and send a distortion pedal. Accordingly, I finally have a clear, saturated sound.
The sound is precise, powerful and bluesy crunch goes from the big heavy rock saturation.

Very good pedal. I'd do the same analysis for the low use.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few weeks and I am really delighted. It gives a second life my marshall inseparable.

No hesitation to make the big rock.
