Pedal preamp, ie boost when the level is raised beyond a certain level. Analog effect as always with MXR. Classical case the brand, robust and compact.

UTILIZATION

More than easy to use configuration is the simplest it is possible to find an effect pedal.

SOUND QUALITY

Here is a boost acting on the volume level. EN according to its position in a chaining, its effect will differ: before or after a distortion, for example, the Micro Amp does not lead in the same way. Before, he played on the level that the attack distortion pedal to increase the gain, according to the same pedal it will just increase the overall volume without changing the gain. From there, so we will try!
The only adjustment available shows progressive and responsive allowing changes both subtle and numerous.
This pedal triggers an addiction quickly and once started it is difficult to pass. We must therefore show great discipline to not abuse it and lose it can do its interest: the effect of "surprise" created its inception.

OVERALL OPINION

True to MXR that I know both the range and quality, I have not tried anything else, and took advantage of an opportunity to acquire the Micro Amp. I use it sparingly, avoiding systematize its contribution. For if the effect appears to be relatively transparent, systematic use tends to equalize the sound.
I prefer to use it at the right time and this is what it is: kick boost needed.
