NO ONE OWNS ME___ I MAKE ZERO $ FROM THIS
A two channel pedal loosely based on old Brit amps. It uses FETS to replace tubes but is otherwise based on amps the company makes. The first channel is a basic Volume, Gain, Treble, Mids and Bass. The second is Volume and Gain but the EQ is in the form of two filters. Depth controls the fatness or tightness of the Bass frequencies and Depth softens or exaggerates the harmonics and overtones.
You can indeed use it in an effects loop to replace your amps pre.It has a faux analog speaker simulator with its own jack to take a line out to record or to replace having a mic on your cab. However having dealt with these on other
pedals I found them sounding very unpro.
CONCLUSION___
It is indeed impressive. It is like being able to design
your own tube amp in a pedal. Even so I have several Amp-in-a-Box, like my PedalPalFX PAL800 Gold Overdrive v.3 that nail a JCM 800 that blow your tiny mind right out of the water right out of the box. I do not have to dial in my perfect OD it was done for me.
Nothing mind boggling. Over the decades the first was the LPD-1. It had just a Volume control. It added a nasty biting but arguably useful bite to your sound. the very first ones were mostly bought by Bass players to cut through the ever increasing volumes guitarists at the time played at. Bass amps simply because one needs 3 times the wattage to match the guitar levels were also 3 times the price, lol. Yes E-H after a few years got smart and made a bass version. The last version was called The Mole but it finally got killed about 3 years ago. I currently work with a Bass Player with one. It is quite effective.
The layout is Treble, Bass and Mids. The mids are quasi parametric. A switch
gives you a 20dB or 33 dB boost. The level is Pre-gain so you can not get a tone and then keep the same and move it up or down. Another toggle sets a mid boost across all the mids or just the upper mids to give it a Tube Screamer like poke.
A charge pump turns a 9v power supply in a much higher voltage to give the pedal headroom to keep the sound open and much less compressed. (a standard 9v adapter is incl.)
CONCLUSION ___
The price and features are reasonable. The power adapter could have been left
out and itwould have brought the price down. They pay tops about $1.00 USD
for it but they think you will perceive it as a$15 item so they can add $15 more
to the price. It would be best to trythis out at your local E-H dealer. You will love
it or hate it. It could turn a big bucks sound into trash unless used very selectively.
If it is used to stack on an OD or Fuzz that trash could add some attitude.
A pricey guitar going thru a serious amp may be like racing a
Ferrari with retread tires.

...it is good to know that EH has the guts of the pedal made in China. The guts and the casing and a bag of knobs and nuts for the jacks come as kit.
In NY they screw together these parts with unskilled labor. Without breaking any laws they can print Made in the USA. The guts are well made.
There isn't any problem with the build. You get a great pedal. I just do not like the deceit. I also do not like the prices if they get too greedy.
If it came to your door from China it would be $30.
So if I see $75 or $85 fine. But otherwise I get a bit pissed.
The trouble with some of the most exciting Fuzz pedals like the octave up
variety is they are like driving a Ferrari that doesn't have brakes and can
shift gears forwards but not back, lol.
To get such a pedal to be usable in any Pop/Rock tune or in plain English.
What a non-playing listener calls a song is a struggle.
I have such pedals and once I have tweaked it into a civilized and sensible sound I want to weld the pots in place. Mythos takes such a pedal and welds it in place. you merely take the Gain to as much dirt as you prefer. You the Blend in as much octave up madness as you also prefer and turn up or if needed
down the volume.
CONCLUSION ___
I can't fault it. It not only sounds killer. It refuses to go Shoegaze no matter how hard you try. You do have to become accustomed to not spending 10 minutes to dial in the the right sound for a 2 minute
song, but nothing is perfect. Just suck it up and live with it😕
I have 63 pedals on my board. When I go from one to another it would be insane if they were all different volume levels.A classic Boss CE2 Chorus does not havea volume control. It is designed so it will be not be any louder or quieter when it is off or on. It short it is set to unity gain. I set ALL my pedals to never be louder than my bypass clean sound. On some tunes I do set a pedal a bit turned down when it is only played while I am singing. When I cease singing during the bridge, solo etc. I turn on a different pedal set to unity gain with my amp. Meaning my pedals are never louder than my amp weather they are off or on.
Not an all new pedal for the Death boys but more of a tweak. The company has been around forever making things I would call Shoegaze. In short not the best pedals for those chords you play to accompany a vocalist so the folks can make out the words, lol. If anything they tamed the beast enough that a few players with some serious chops might be able to use one.The layout is Volume, Gain/Octave and Boost.
It is literally a Mooer Ana Echo with a different paint color and graphics that they have made for 11 years or more and still sell. It is a clone that nails the theclassic sound of the vintage 20 to 300ms 1981 Boss DS-2.
The Mooer sellsfor $108.00 USD.
So...it becomes a nobrainer. Therefore Rowin=Mooer=Boss.
The layout is Echo, which turns it up from low to high against the dry signal, F.back is the number or repeats from one to infinity and time which how far
apart each echo is from the following one.
CONCLUSION ___
An analog delay is a must have. You can use it for an always on with a single repeat to fatten your sound or create a reverb effect. Just 3 or 4 repeats can
create a really big sound.
Pulled back in the mix with your guitar up front gives
you a huge sound.I do that on every tune.I make it
wetter on a slowtune and pushed back on faster tunes.
You can always havebothan analogand adigital delay.

Well, why not. If they can give us EVH-in-a Box why not something less specific as a genre. The bottom line is always if it sounds good it is good and we will decide what fits our music. It started life as an OpAmp Big Muff and then got modded to someones take on a Grunge sound. The layout is Chorus speed with toggle for 3 levels of depth. The dirt side has, Gain, Volume and Tone. A second footswitch lets you choose either side or both.
CONCLUSION ___
It is voiced using diodes that give it a medium to high gain tones.
An analog chorus pedal is wired in the mix which became a trademark of all dirt sounds of the era. Know it is so old it is new as players are teaming chorus with dirt pedals boy more as fattener and often further back in the mix.
In 1994 Zachary Vex started one of the first gourmet pedal companies
in MinneapolisMinnesota.
The Vexter is their budget brand MIC but tested and tweaked Stateside before shipping. They don't say but it has a basic tone bender meets octave Fuzz thing going on. where the switch should be is a metal plate that acts like a theremin to control making screwing up the BIAS creates endless honks, raspy velcro break up noise that ate controlled by the movement of your foot. There is not any
info or demo of what each knob does or recommended settings to get started.
This French company has been around for years making kits and their quirky but clever takes on other classic pedals. Yes guys the top of the pedals is a real wood veneer:-)
Many companies boast they are making a better and therefore different Klon,
but in this case the different options are laid on with a trowel, lol To start it
goes into a much higher gain yet keeps much of the transparent thing.
The layout is Volume, Tone and Gain but with internal switches to choose germanium or silicon diodes or the glassy Klon sound or a traditional neutral sound. You can also switch in a low boost or a small internal pot lets you
tighten the sound.
CONCLUSION ___
It has a fair bit of the Klon's glassy sound. In fact even more
than a Klon when cranked. A Klon uses a second distortion
thatfades in after 9 O'clock that makes higher gains sound
more neutralin tone. As noted with the internal 6 options
