«  Terrible! »

Published on 04/15/12 at 02:22
Analog pedal exclusively for pure metalheads .... whatever ....

a jack, a farce jack, a volume, a knob for adjusting the bass, a knob for treble and a knob for the distortion level.
It can jump in with both feet without problem, it's tough like all the Boss ...

UTILIZATION

One branch and it works .... (Of course, must be activated .... tsss)

The adjustments are very precise and effective damn!!

SOUND QUALITY

Well, finally the heart of the test ....
To be clear, we must know what it is connected: A VOX AC30CC1 modified with a baffle 12 Jensen Jet "Blackbird Alnico ....
Pedal connected to the channel "normal" and the volume control stage preamp set to 13h ...
Tested with an Ibanez JS 1000 ...
Amateur Ballroom muzet, go your way here because we speak the pure metal and other trash .... The sound is purely demonic, strapped with acute but not garish at all (can be linked with the lamps of Vox, I do not guarantee the same result on a combo analog) The bass is overpowering and settings also terribly effective, the his remains accurate if you do not push too low (otherwise it is the membrane that falls .... HP) nival the saturation is very high (note the feedback when the distortion is at bottom.), for my I share the rule around 14h and 11h of the volume goshawks because remember that saturate the lamps too, with this setting, all I can do in terms of big big modern sound (Even the Kerry King ...)
Big surprise, the total absence of parasites and other bzzzzzz or vrrrrrrr and no noise gate of course. (I read the other testers and I realize that many complain about noise, I think their systems and connectors are responsible for this result because for me it is the total silence with the settings mentioned above , also noted in that I use for Monster cables, specifically the jazz and I also use an MXR DC Brick for power ...)
Another big surprise, the pedal responded in ways surprising volume knob of the guitar, you'd think of germanium?? The knob has small volume, we obtain an almost clear foil, very melodic and surprising, I love anyway

OVERALL OPINION

It's been two years already ... and still in love ... obtained for a ridiculous price, I bought it just to see what it was and eventually fell in love and I use it almost every day, it's really a great pedal and I did that a regret, not having discovered earlier, of course, some might say that the range of sound is not great, Ok, but what is written above "METAL CORE" must be an idiot to want to make sounds with Jazz .. .! When I try a different type of sound, I use another low pedal ... pfffff
Another strong point is its price is really affordable, so metal fan, go for it ......
Unless you want to also play with the Jazz ... Hmm ..
