«  "Could do better" »

Published on 07/26/11 at 11:47
This pedal double the note an octave lower ...
I do not know what is the technology used, but it is not editable or rack, not noon. Not matter to me, especially with three touch buttons ...
In a form, an Out in jack, classic anything, and a second sheet to break out the effect in another amp (or sound system ...) to separate the effect of the direct signal.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple: 2 filters and a High Bass filter to shape the sound of the octave added, and the Blend to mix with the direct.
Memory to 12 were half half direct signal / octave...A far right is no longer the direct signal and it seems to have a bass in his hands.
The manual is very clear but frankly, useless. Moreover, a manual starts at 2 pages not to deserve the name? There, I think there was only one.
There is a switch "sub" on / off, which I do not see the need (personally) as in off, it cuts the filter "Bass" and an octave down, I find it unfortunate, but perhaps y'en loving after all.
Ideal for use to thicken the sound a bit, add depth, or playing riffs "dubbed" super cell like a good bass player (yes it's you because of it! Hey hey!)

SOUND QUALITY

So, I'll be bothered to record ...
I use it with a Start 'and a Les Paul.
At first, I would put 10/10. It's clean, it not answer, it's great sound (pedal breathes strength too!), It manages to sculpt the sound you want depending on the game we practice and what we want him to do ...
BUT ....
(Yes, otherwise I would have put 10 and it would cost more I think ...)
BUT ....

But there's a HUGE FALL OF SIGNAL !!!!!
The volume decreases tremendously, it ruins everything, and it's unmanageable. A home to train, to mumuse, look for sound, nickel, but in game config, only worse and in groups, or alternately playing with and without octave, it is not possible. Required to trigger a boost .. So if we budget to justify buying another one, much to type in another model ... it's really unfortunate, because without this fall, it was a great product.

OVERALL OPINION

Ben ... I mean a pseudo 5/10...en big to work from home and have fun, it's super cam use but the actual game, no. Or must love a boost switch on and off each time you want to remove and the effect ... or, if you played on an entire song, well you climb your amp time of the song and after you rebaisses .. (it will be nice scales !)... I kept it very long. A friend lent me the Boss OC-2 I found a little messy, but I quickly sold my Multiplexer to buy the OC-2, much easier to manage, despite the slightly "Rrrrhhh! " And I regret it.
Too bad, because Electro-Hamonix missed a golden opportunity to sell a cheap little pedal to pump larigot ... and frankly, I am not a technician, but it's that hard to add the component that requires that the volume does not move? It's the economy that ... tee 2 francs, not even € 2 ... It's a shame, but it was great!
