«  Very nice vibe at an unbeatable price »

Value For Money : Excellent
Not much to say, only one effect, a beautiful vibrato, a box to look special kind toad blue sky, not easy to put into a pedal board, but true bypass, battery excellent.2 access jacks in the wrong place that require angled cables touching the knobs, not a stomp of the foot more practical but that is the way.

UTILIZATION

3 knobs, speed, intensity and mix effect, which manages the amount of effect sent. the effect was a terrible noise marking each modulation. By opening the box, there is a small trim pot (mini knob), which manages the intensity of the effect. In fact, the varying sets this rumbling by reducing the light intensity of a flashing orange LED hidden under an aluminum cover. It does not reduce the intensity adjustment of the pedal, that is the intensity of the oscillator avoiding saturation. problem solved. In fact I thought it would trim pot to adjust the volume as tremolo pedal from the same brand. Well no! so we will be forced to bear a volume gain of about 10% after Inrush pedal. Not great even though it is better in this sense. Otherwise, the settings are effective, the sound is clear with a vintage button, a Start, it is a joy. After much testing, the best place is in the lead after the wah because it is a vibrato, so something that comes from the instrument. The tremolo is positioned after all the rest, just before the reverb because wants to give atmosphere. the vibe in the effects loop, it is despicable, especially with distortion, but distortion after it very well on this cool cat ...

SOUND QUALITY

Have fun on machine gun Hendrix, this is stunning! whatever the speed, the sound is clean but not clinical and frozen as the hardwire pedal. Here one is analog, vintage and that's fine. For the price, frankly nothing wrong, clean or overdrive, do not change. A curious point the effect starts a few seconds after the Inrush stomp. To believe that there is a lamp to heat up!

OVERALL OPINION

vibes, there are not bad but nothing really affordable. I'm tempted by this disarming the price and I was right, it sounds great. I'm glad to have been able to manage the problem of cyclic hum by the internal knob and I have exactly what I expected of a vibe on my strat. Is the volume and the delayed start but for me are minor problems.
