By Marshall distortion pedal, three bands EQ, gain and level, an effects loop.
With a look not really rock'n'roll, I bought it because of the Marshall logo!
Used initially to "roar" my Peavey Rage 158, and have a second channel to be used up, I quickly tired (I must say that the amp was not at the top) before re-trying with my Ibanez TSA15 ...

UTILIZATION

The config is simple and complex at the same time ... let me explain!
One branch, we play, easy! But we have a pretty palette with the settings, among others thanks to the three-band EQ, and here it is clear that we need a can tamper to identify the real potential of the pedal, but what a joy!

SOUND QUALITY

As I said earlier, the sound palette is very wide and it happens to reproduce multitude of sounds, with a real personality Marshall, simply boost the big fat distortion through the crunch, nothing seems to scare!
Level of the knob gives a serious boost to the signal! on the other hand we pay a bonus breath pretty ....
That said, the pedal is very usable, must still know how to balance the settings to find a sound that is not too cartoonish ...
on the other hand, we get to have a demonic sustain with a good response, it would almost feel like a lamp in the bowels of the beast!

OVERALL OPINION

Service intermittently for now ... 14 years!
I bought it at random and I have no regrets ... in fact so. The leaving in the lurch for so long!
For lovers of big sound, vintage, a must!
