Really amazed by the sound quality of this pedal 40, are the musicians in small holder monaie who delights. Bright position is really very effective and it is very polyvalenet, potters allows for biting well Overdrives until fairly soft distortion. The famous JRC4558 common chipset with Tube Screamer really is the essential component of this pedal, it brings the warmth of tube amp, power and the rest of the circuit does not bring life to the pedal unlike the reference marks. The other 2 chipsets shipped to replace the JRC4558, I tried it and yes, it has nothing to do: the sound is pretty good but not much power and breathless. It's a little marketing, we quickly returned to the JRC4558 unless you have a very good amp that will highlight other chipsets. Finally, at its JRC4558 with, is a killer to 40 for those who have less than 700 amp and want to improve the sound reproduction. The fifth star is justified only by the quality / price ratio. This is obviously not a pedal for pros 40: not protected for power surges .... I've already burned a vigilance so, it must be pampered anyway, not plug him anything .
In look at that price, it's incredible, beautiful finish to the series "ToneFancier" This is not a plastic case (behringer type) and it's solid. I do not like the new series "Baby Boom" from Biyang remains too classical.
