Value For Money :
Excellent
I do not call features, everything is said.
Complete connectivity, there's not shit.
Negative on the footswitch (well I have not, I do not know whether to be supplied with since I bought OCCAZ). Me it does not bother me, I do not often change his or so when we eventually catch avvec sound.
There are two TRS jack on the back to switch 4 functions: Channel selection, choice of the saturation level (hi / low gain), contour (ideal for solos) and "preamp defeat" (I have not yet fully understand the function ...).
UTILIZATION
It's super simple as preamp, no effects, except for the distortion. We can actually get 4 channels with the switch to "Hi Gain" which allows for clean and growling channel distortion, which also have a more hard.
If you can adjust unb preamp guitar, this one will bring you no trouble.
The 4-band EQ on the lead channel is really interesting to work with precision. I would try with a good EQ back see if that really have more opportunities, but I think the answer is yes.
SOUNDS
The sound is there now. I checked the lights in the rack of OCCAZ received this morning. A 12AX7EH, and a Sovtek 12AX7WP. In short, as stated above, with the EH, we have gain to spare. My BC Rich Warlock NJsérie original sounds like forever. Well I do not scratch, rather a branque. Basically I am a bassist. This is my first real preamp. Before I was a Marshall combo 100DFX, not bad for the price, but it's not break bricks. I rediscovered my guitar, when I plugged the output offset frequency at my table and my Dynaudio soundcraft. it sounds warm and brilliant, yet it is not at all stuffed bass. Deadly
I kindly brought to my guitarist again. Plugged into the return of the effects loop of Crate Blue Voodoo (all-tube) in 4 * 12. the unit to the base sounds good I know it well. Well with this preamp for the distortion of schinter Crate, it demolded serious ... my scratch was happy, he wants to bite me now ... : D There's less than a Crate bass, but you can compensate a little with the EQ. And it's not so bad actually, because being in the world of recording and bassist, these metalheads scratch that put serious block that we cover is boring ... So there flat on his fate "mixed" in rehearsal and it's pretty cool. it sounds like I love big and rapper. It is very dry and precise, no burr short, what we played, we hear about the hair. So it requires them to be precise, it is not so bad.
We must find more high-end yet, or different, I only takes 9 because I do not have the means to test this preamp really decent.
OVERALL OPINION
As I am happy with my purchase OCCAZ to € 350. An unbeatable value for money of the coup at this price. If you like distortion precise démoulent go test, you will surely find your happiness. I am filled, I will be working groups on the sound of gear known if entourloupe with crappy amps.
I'll probably record the sound of the guitar dry and then iron it to mix in ENGL. To see if it passes without technically Reamp. I am confident, however.
