This is one of distortion pedals / overdrive.
Entrance, exit, exp a entrepdale between a power supply.
A rotator model of choice, a gain knob, a 3-band equa (depending on the model, the knobs can take other functions (micro amp compressor, octave, phaser ...) a volume.
It is the sense of distortion pedals of modliser clebres vintage or not (16 in all I think). Thus we find a model for the TS808 (tube screamer) A model of Tube Driver, a model MXR micro amp, a Boss MT2, a Fuzz Face, a Jet Fuzz, Octavia, .... two models more "custom" home Line6

is a memory PDAL numrique 4: We choose a model of pedal, turn the knob up to get what you love, you press a button for 5 sec. it's in the box.

I put 8 in the equation that does not always have what I expect. but frankly, with 16 models of distortion, it was hard to not find a sound that we like ....

UTILIZATION

It's easy as a pedal ...
The manual is excellent, with qques jokes (they are specialist in home Line6) ...

SOUND QUALITY

I searched for a long time the sound of distortion that I like, I found some with a Spitfire and LAG and then I found some neat stuff with the GX-700 and now the PSA-1. and then trying to qquechose easy to carry and with its multiple (3 minimum) I came across the top and I must admit that there is no real competitor: 4 programs, 16 to 330 euros sounds DIFFERENT ...
The sound? Incredbeul! stunning .... I stop right superlatives, the EQUAL are still effective, and 16 model of the booster to the devastating distortion through the overdrive lamp has ...
I mainly use a model of driver tube, and a LINE6 TS808 DRIVE ... I even used my electro acoustic preamp as external, the micro amp model is transparent ...

However, a BMOL: Models Big Muff and Fuzz Face out with a level infrieur other.
A dernire thing: those who believe that AC will be ringing any gourent amp, I play what I found in the studio and nothing will replace the lamps for amplification ... With a JC120, ca not come out, but it sounds gouache, on the other hand in my best in a twin or AC30, then the!!

Last update: 5-4-2006: I just redcouvrir what a guitar sound. Not for electrical jou qques weeks, I am surprised to find the sound of the beast quite cold during a sudden beef ... I WAS in a twin branch yet, but I dcu t .. I bought a Tri dj Ac for the dynamics, but I find it really difficult to resolve. I cherchaios qque it simple, I found my happiness in a trio acahat: Supercomp - Tube Factor - Micro Amp, I rdcouvert the sound of my guitar and my belongings .. . really ... Finally, nothing beats the lamps. The DM4 ets "practice" can be quite out of his remarkable if only one is plugged into an amp trs good but will never be "thrilled". I complterai necessary.

OVERALL OPINION

Difficult to scratch who want the DNAS his pocket and want more than two sounds is THE solution.
Report indniablement excellent quality price (330 euros per machine, it makes the pedals 80 euros on average ... it takes a good 150 for the classic pedal unit)

A BMOL: it numrique: ca bouffe batteries, I bought a power supply "basic" it works very well.

I would buy can be the same, but I compare it with the sort of Ac Sansamp.
April 2006 update:
Since I bought the Tri Ac, more vibrant, more natural (puisqu'analogique the modlisation still room for improvement) but plsu chaint (sorry) has regelr. I have since changed again: Tube Factor ... the slap of his true, finally. it bothers me to say this but nothing beats the lights ... That said, I do not change the overall score, the DM ets a very good product, versatile and practical, but if you want a very good sound quality is nothing to do: tubes!!
