Subtle sound change but in a good way

boring guy 13.02.2025

Don't expect dramatic changes in your tone. This is subtle but the little it does sound really good. Useffull if you want to match the sound of two very different guitars.
The DI out (XLR) is too hot to be usable. It manages to clip the input of my interface, even at nearly minimum gain (UAD Volt).

Buffer boost with extra features

Pep Garberí 22.01.2021

I use it in my pedal board at the end of the drive chain and into the front of the valve amp and it does the job, nothing crazy but improves the overall sound and you can also boost it and shape the sound very quickly so can play around with it depending on the song with a toggle touch and the shape. Very good construction too. It does a subtle thing but definitely in a good way. I have not used the DI but again is one of the good extra features you get with this pedal.

très bien

johnny be blues 12.07.2022

au début on entend pas trop de différence, mais en fait ça égalise bien les fréquences, la guitare sèche et moins "criarde", bien qu'on puisse aussi régler le gain, et la fonction boost est parfaite pour mettre un tout petit peu plus la guitare en avant, ou beaucoup...au choix....
bonne qualité et la pile ne semble pas se vider exagérément.....très bon produit.....

DI BOX und Preamp der Extraklasse

Al Guitar 13.02.2023

Ich nutze das Pedal in erster Linie für meine Geige. Als besonders nützlich erweist die Boostfunktion. Das erspart schon mal ein extra Pedal.
Die Wahlmöglichkeit zwischen aktivem und passivem Tonabnehmer ist sicher interessant, den Unterschied nehme ich jedoch im Livebetrieb nicht wirklich wahr. Im Studiobetrieb jedoch sieht das besser aus.
Alles in allem ein sehr gutes Produkt, besonders wenn man eine DI Box mit Extrafunktion sucht.
