CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
It's Fun -
I've only had this pedal for about a month... so i write this without fully exploring all of it's potential.
First thing's first... its a BOSS stomp box, so durability and design aren't really necessary to talk about. The only thing worth noting on that topic is that this pedal does eat batteries, even from just moderate use and leaving it unplugged when you arent playing. There are 3 solutions:
1. Buy a power supply
2. Remove the battery entirely when you arent playing
3. Deal with it and keep buying batteries (right now, i've chosen this route)
Aside from that, all i have to talk about is pure functionality and quality. Both of which this pedal excels at. The "T. Arm" mode is easily one of my favorite modes with this pedal. I treat it like a poor man's whammy pedal. It's cabable of pitching a note up or down 2 octaves and you can adjust its speed. For example, i've found if i set the pedal to pitch up 2 octaves very slowly then play some power chord up near the upper frets and jump that chord down the neck while "throttling" the pedal, it creates a *race car shifting gears* kinda sound. On the other end, its fun to set this function to pitch up 1 or two octaves very fast and just mix it in with some soloing. I've even tried this with some basic rhythm stuff which gives it a little more attitude.
The Pitch Shifter mode is also very fun... i very quickly fell into the habit of keeping this mode set at one octave down with the orig/efx mix leaning toward the efx... this gives the guitar a very rich, bassy tone. Add a little wah to it and it gets even more interesting. The other three modes, i regret to say, i haven't toyed with very much. I'm the type of guitarist who likes effects that push the guitar sound to extremes. But the manual of course lists a few presets for these modes which i have tried and they sounded great; just as they were described... it's just personally they didnt inspire me very much.
Another thing worth mentioning is that some of the functions for this pedal are very clearly suggested to only be used with single notes and not chords. So naturally i had to see what would happen if i played some chords on those settings... and sure enought weird stuff starts to happen. In the case of the T.Arm mode, if you play a chord and then pitch it up it starts to jump around a lot which i found to actually be kinda cool. Once i get that to happen i like to start bending the chord and it gets even more crazy.... add wah, feedback, delay..... you get my drift.
Long story short... this is a pedal that you take out of the box and spend countless hours turning the dials every-which-way and trying anything you can imagine. It's LOADS of fun!
