fcalas « TOTAL! »
Published on 11/27/13 at 02:39Here is the pedal in the most controversial Boss. Why? I always ask myself the question. Yet it is a double pedal shipping a multitude of pedals more or less known (22 in total) from the overdrive, distortion of the well until mushy fuzz. Compete connection with a very even HP / Phone output to connect the beast on anything other than a guitar amp (a sound, headphones) since it has a HP emulation. In, out, and amp control.
Everything is 100% digital since Boss uses COSM technology to emulate the pedal. And yes, it is only emulation!
UTILIZATION
To the beast, no need to leave Polytechnique "Yaka turn the knobs" Drive, Bottom (mean serious in Boss), Tone function (we know, it is the treble) Level (which the neighbors love you not) Attack Shape (manages the dynamics of your playing to saturation) and heavy octave octaver that adds serious to the large metal spot! Then there are the memories 4 total. They change by pressing the right pedal. Moreover, this is also where the shoe pinches, it can only go in one direction 1 to 4 and 4 to go, it must go through 123 rather boring.
SOUND QUALITY
Pedals emulated Me, I do not find it so disgusting. I do not serve me any. There are 6 Boss (OD1 OD2 DS1 BD2 MT2 HM2) rather very very close to the original. 6 "exclusive pedals" (boost, lead, crunch, stack, metal, loud
and 10 competing TS9 pedals, FULLTONE, MXR D +, KLON CENTAUR GUV NOR, PROCO RAT, and 4 Famous fuzz. I have a weakness for the TS9, Klon centaur, fuzz face, MXR D + which are quite successful.
BUT! because there is a BUT, it smells digital full nose. The sounds are close to the original, but not exactly the same.
OVERALL OPINION
I bought a misery 50 € OCCAZ, autand say that at this price, it is the best pedal in the world. I glue in my pedalboard from time to time, for fuzz or tube screamer. I do not drive me down when I clicks, but I still find it indispensable. This is a big Swiss Army knife, with all imaginable saturations. And I think well exploited, the OD 20 can be great. But, however, nothing beats the original ...
