Disappointing
Thirdratepoet 23.09.2022
I really wanted to like this pedal - as an acoustic guitar player who likes to plug in and play, this seemed to be the absolute business…a single preamp to get that a great basic sound on which to build…but sadly, no…

Leaving aside the fact that it only works silently if the power supply is exactly matched to its requirements, and its apparent dislike of being in a signal chain with other (quality) pedals, the main issue with it is that it’s not really worth the money or the effort if you want a live rig with fx into an amp. It was so bad , I thought it was broken and asked Thomann to test/fix it (they advised me the pedal is just fine, it was my gear causing issues - although none of my other pedals are noisy individually or ensemble) and ultimately, I sold it on.

To be fair - you could use this pedal (on battery power) to enhance your electro acoustic sound, but I can get just as good an effect from a quality optical compressor, with the bonus of no noise. It is advertised as a ‘studio quality’ preamp - I’m guessing that’s a 90s demo studio recording onto a cassette 😀

It's sublime

I am using it for a gypsy jazz guitar and it suits it just perfect.

Once I turned it on, I'd never want to turn it off nor would I see the reason why.

It contours the sound automatically.

I wouldn't gig without it anymore.

Zumindest für meine Ohren ein mehr als geeignetes Werkzeug, um den Sound der verstärkten Akustikgitarre unaufdringlich, aber hörbar zu optimieren. Ich verwende das Session-Pedal zusammen mit seinem EQ-Bruder aus der Align-Serie im Einschleifweg des Lehle Acouswitch Junior (der offenbar nicht mehr gebaut wird - schade!). Während das EQ-Pedal zunächst immer neutral eingestellt ist und nur im Notfall (Notchfilter bei Feedback) oder für gelegentliche Klangverbesserungen herhalten muss, ist das Session immer aktiv.
Dabei habe ich folgende Erfahrungen gemacht: Der Saturate-Regler macht das Signal - mit Worten übrigens gar nicht leicht zu beschreiben - irgendwie konkreter, präsenter, satter (eben "saturiert") und der äußerst musikalische Kompressor ist perfekt, wenn man so wie ich während eines Stücks öfter zwischen Fingern und Plektrum wechselt. Das ist im Akustikduo und bei kleineren Konzerten, wo man jeden Kieks hört (oder auch nicht) perfekt, um die Dynamik ein wenig auszubalancieren.
Beide Regler befinden sich im Allgemeinen zwischen 11 und 12 Uhr, so dass das Signal nicht "effektiert" klingt, aber zumindest mir sofort was fehlt, wenn man das Pedal ausschaltet. Deswegen kann ich nix Negatives berichten: Es rauscht nicht, ist hervorragend verarbeitet, einfach zu bedienen und perfekt, um die letzten paar Prozent aus einer guten Gitarre mit einem guten Abnahmesystem herauszukitzeln.
