I can see why gear snobs who like to dump $400 or $500 on cute little hand painted stop boxes like to hate on this. For the rest of us.... Sweet pedal lots of fun for not alot of green. I dig it!
I just got this pedal. Good pedal and will have a permanent spot on my board. Bought it for the reverb alone, and really like the other options. The drive sound is very good too.
I have this pedal. Got it because of the effects AND the drive/fuzz.The drive and fuzz are over the top and never get used. The other effects are very usable with the reverbs being the best with the tremelo being great as well. With that being said, IF YOU HAVE THIS PEDAL YOU NEED TO MOD IT TO GET THE CHORUS AND FLANGER! It's very easy. The effects are digital and stored on the large chip inside. Google it. It was worth it to me. I really like the flange best. The chorus is that warbly, Kurt Cobain chorus. Squeeze the most out of this pedal.
i replaced the knob on mine with a 3-way toggle switch from an old les paul. put the clean in the middle position. fuzz on top. drive on bottom. now i can flick it with my foot. i don't have to bend over to change mode.
That intro was insanely good, man! The rhythm guitar and bass sounded absolutely huge! It painted that picture in my head that Boston's guitars do. All I can see is gigantic twin electric guitars towering and roaring over a city skyline in true Godzilla fashion! :)
Hmmm, someone below said that the fuzz on this is over the top...but it sounds great to me. I mean... This seems to be a high quality pedal and does a lot. Great value for sure.
If you compare this to other multieffects like the Boss stuff, this sounds brilliant. Of course it won't sound as good as all the effects in seperate pedals, but it also doesn't cost a lot of money.
I have this pedal and it's not bad, I'm not usin the drive option cause I have Big Muff and Boss overdrive, but reverbs, tremolo and pitch shift is nice and sounds cool to me with my lespaul and Marshall. Just cause you haven't tryed this, stop offencing this cool machine... Peace
why is the volume pedal on full the whole time? like surely it should only need to be on half way if it is to remain the same volume level as clean tone???
If you have the holy stain on clean mode you will have to set the volume knob on max - then you're at the original amp level. But... if you then turn the dirt knob to fuzz or drive it suddenly gets insanely loud. You ALWAYS should turn the volume knob to 9 or 10 O'clock BEFORE dialing fuzz or drive.
Stupid long intro + the guy does not know how to use this device. The settings are nearly all extreme. The true potential of this pedal lies in the room reverb (mix on 10 O'clock, amount between 11 and 13) and the "warm" setting in both fuzz and drive mode. Both the drive and fuzz are extreme - but very very good to control via the volume knob of the guitar. This should have been shown. You van go from sweet crunch to omg just by turnin down and up the vol. knob + the tone knob on your guitar. When you choose a position between warm and dark or dark and bright - the color circuit will be off thus resulting in a civilized treble boost. It is a good pedal and not only for playing with it like a toy.
Marek Tokarcik Thanks for getting it. Haters gonna hate. I don't do demos like this anymore... These were hard to do in post-production when the music ran long and the picture montage ran short...
you did it wonderfull and you shuold keep going back to your work.. It was good idea just find vocalist and you got good song out of it...what about me ?
Excellent demo. Really shows off the capabilities of this pedal.

Fantastic review of the pedal! Nice to see all the functions shown and the variety of sounds that can be achieved!

This pedal is fucking rad lol I love how people hate it. I thought it was a rad demo, cool heavy psych riffs the whole time.

Hello T.M. Quinn. How do you do to mod it ? Have you got an electronic schematic ? thanks
great demo
I only wish it had a on / off for the dirt. It is otherwise a excellent pedal.

The overdrive and distortion are analog and it is true bypass.

i love the fuzz

why so many bad reviews on this pedal? it sounds amazing and very versatile...
I love EHX

You can tell it's analog distortion because it doesn't have any Line 6 digital type fuzz :)

Does he only know one riff? He doesn't do the pedal justice.

I love EHX But These Pedal SUCKS
Video begins at 1:33 for those who don't want to waste time looking at a stupid, pointless slideshow with an annoying soundtrack.
This is the worst pedal I ever heard, who would that crap.
Is this the only pedal you've ever heard ;) ?
