Good analog overdrive pedal with a switch and a switch presence of mid contour (boost middle, cut middle or normal). All was already said.

Nice painting, the entries are in relief and are full of glitter on it.

On mine it is currently painted signing Brad Paisley. The LED is white (but appears blue).

True bypass, short solid case, tutto bene.

UTILIZATION

Super easy to setup, you soon realize the interest of each knobs and interactions between them (including gain knob and volume).

Tutto bene yet.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is very good (considering the new price, it's better!).

On an amp into overdrive in the clear she has her sweet but powerful. Very precise and detailed. A very nice grain. She excels in the records of moderate gain but for more gains pushed I think it handles very well.

But as you could read on other reviews, everyone takes time to find its optimal use of the object.

For my part where she excels the most in my opinion is:

- The use of an amp light crunch.


What's good! It thickened the sound gives him sumptuous low mids.
The sound becomes very big.
With the volume knob to 15h, the gain at 9am, all switch down. This magnified the sound and boost effectively.

But with the volume knob to 10 / 11h and 15h to gain knob all the switch down. There was THE BIG SOUND of a tube amp, you understand the whole point of this pedal. HE LIVES HERE!

It's very thick and wide. Although control and powerful, with no shortage of sustain solo and with no shortage of potato in rhythm.

In this configuration, there it really shines and gives me a slap every time.
The sound is superb


As for transparency, it is quite effective. On my guitar I found the most transparent with the tone knob to 14 and all the switches down.


This is an overdrive that known to be very sweet but also very punchy.


Short on a crunch, you'll understand that this is my best use of the object.

OVERALL OPINION

I used a good while.

What I like most is its use of a crunch sound described above. It's the killer! His thick, fat and well wide.

What I like least: Well it's not that I dislike but the switch in mid outline I do not use it at all. It is always down.


In short, a great pedal that will delight you if you like the crunch of your amp and you want to love him more. Or if you have a single channel amp with a nice crunch but requires a staggering amount for a good overdrive (and well-controlled overdrive).


I tried to do the demo on this video but the sound is 15 times as great in front (Youtube does not help me too). Spy at 08:08 and 9:36, that's where I push my crunch:



Brief push the crunch is the MOST! Better than any type of TS9 for sure (apparently it would be suitable for TS808 Brad Paisley).
