«  A magnificent pedal ... »

Published on 02/07/14 at 18:56
5 knobs: Global Volume, Bass, Middle, Treble and Gain
1 knob boost.
1 input and 1 output (like any basic pedal ^ ^)

Military decoration is very friendly and the pedal is not too bulky (I get to squeeze in my guitar case when I go to a jam among friends).

Small silicone pads are very useful to prevent slipping (because, yes, there are tiles in my room, and you must admit that it is not very convenient to use if she fled to each Once you place the feet on.).

Mains.

UTILIZATION

Using this pedal can not be easier. Adjustments are made intuitively, but even if the manual does not help you much because very few detailed, the best thing is to plug his guitar over and quickly explore the sounds it offers, because you will fall almost instantly on any anything you like.

Only small "minus":
The activation-Boost is a small button located very close to the overall volume knob, so that at least one player worthy of a tap with professional precision intensive training, you can difficult to activate the boost for a solo without leaning to activate the finger (that said, if you do not wear huge Dc Martens slippers or plaid grandpa is feasible ...).

-If you put all the knobs at the bottom, you'll easily a feedback in your speakers, you just drop one or more knob to do the feedback stops. But this does not affect my judgment, this is a very good pedal and anyway, I think you rarely use with the knobs bottom, the sound is not very attractive (in my opinion, in all cases).

See for yourself after ...

SOUND QUALITY

This pedal offers a wide range of sounds ranging from light bluesy distortion by putting the gain at minimum (yes, ...) to the legendary Dimebag Darrell sharp saturation, through the characteristic sounds of Angus Young, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, faithfully imitating the Mesa Boogie James Hetfield or the filthy distortion of Kurt Cobain. It is to me the most versatile pedal metalheads, and may even be suitable for a "simple" way Led Zeppelin rocker or a faithful admirer of hairy Brutal Death Thrash Black Metal Apocalyptico-Destroy (do not ask me if it exists ...).

I use almost constantly "Boost" function for a sharp and incisive sound, the rest of the time or she is not engaged, it is to imitate the sound of the first recordings filthy Metallica ...

I play an Ibanez S540FM and I use a Peavey Envoy 110 from 1989 that I should also replace Finally, if my savings allow me ... ° - °

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over a year and yet I still have not explored all the possibilities of this pedal. This is one of my first pedals, and my experience is not so great as that, but in hindsight, this is the one I would have chosen. Ditto if I were asked to use only one distortion pedal.

Quality / price perfect, affordable, a very interesting choice for a beginner, a pedal that deserves a place of honor in the rack fervent practitioners of metal ... I even like the color!
