«  Will not appeal to everyone »

The riff shooter, is a very strong overdrive pedal that balance, we will od the very mild to the big OD task which limits distortion. A volume, a tone that the acute cutting, a drive, and which manages a voice frequency saturation. The voice tone and act together to color effect. A selector in the middle can choose between three types of OD, the lazy more light too compressed, the juicy, that her task, drool all you want.
A booster also called potato, which serves as a clean boost.
100% analog, 100% French

UTILIZATION

Simple enough, but not so obvious to the grip use. Firstly the tone that cuts treble, can be used in the opposite direction clockwise. The voice is original enough to like me used predominantly OD three knobs, like the type TS. Once you understand the principle is quite simple and very intuitive final.
No need to book, it is still plug and play.

SOUND QUALITY

Talking about her now. It is on my pedalboard recently. This is certainly a bias. In fact, if you want a straight OD, then avoid the riff accurate shooter, because it will send fat. It is dirty, looks like the Judge is muddy. Custom suits me fine for now. I wanted to have a powerful, chubby, a little garage rock that smells of beer and whiskey. Well here's the riff shooter has been there and gave me what I wanted.
I play Marshall JTM45 (I love this amp clean, crunch and falling). I use a Gisbon Les Paul and a Fender Stratocaster. Riff Shooter fits well with my two shovels, no worries at this level.
I thought the boost tended to flatten the sound, and the sound of the saturation tended to fuzzer run its course, what bothered me. I looked on the bp, thinking it was the settings of the pedal itself. In fact, there was nothing. I have a master volume installed on the back of the head, that I did not use because I am also connected to a power attenuator. It was this latter problem, I do not know why. But in any case, I cut and set the tone with the master (I lose a bit of momentum, but good), and there magic, boost works perfectly, and the pedal is like awakened . More fuzz at an end just a big fat OD sending the pie, not cooooool? on the other hand as I said it does not suit everyone, because the sound is still typed. Judge Fredd says he wanted with this pedal have a saturation in the Texan spirit, to ZZ Top. We are very far from the very right of a bb preamp for example grain or classic classic OCD.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it only for a few days, and I learn to tame the beast. I love the texture of the wild beast, that will give you an unusual sound which is a clone of a clone of a reissue. This is not a lead channel amp on this point should not delude ourselves. Besides, I think it is impossible to make a pedal sound like an amp. If you want the grain of the JCM 800 for example, you need a JCM 800. against if you want to boost your amp with an OD which sends, OD with character, with an OD that you take off the wallpaper Take the riff shooter. In addition, the booster will take a real plus to put the sauce on a lead, or a rhythmic bass at the end of a song or a chorus for example. It can be used independently and that too is cool.
Abstract shooter for the riff is typical, unusual, organic, and much of the bomb. 100% French it's always fun.
