Great price, but somewhat underwhelming

Rhyeth, 07.09.2019

The Golden Brownie's price point is by far it's most attractive feature. The tones you can procure from this aren't revolutionary, but they're great for jamming around with and could definitely be used on stage if supported by some other pedals and amp setups.

The bypass knob feels very rigid - requiring a heavy press to toggle on and off. Some like this kind of tactile feedback, but I found it to be a little dramatic in comparison to other pedals I've played with. On the bright side, it is true bypass so the tone does not suffer if the pedal is not enabled.

The knobs feel sturdy enough - I had no problems removing the top two knobs but could not manage to wrench off the bottom two. There's very little resistance when turning them - enough that you won't feel out of control when making quick adjustments. Properly mixing the Tone and Pres knobs with one another is vital in ensuring you avoid a tone that is too dark or overtly muddy, but this is all down to personal taste and what kind of sound you're looking to achieve.

The unit itself is contained within a metal case and has a surprising amount of weight given its size. It's definitely a robust mini-pedal, feeling as though it would take a fair amount of roughing about before any signs of damage would become apparent. The blue LED in the middle is bright when engaged, so you'll never question whether its in bypass or not.

All in all, the price point is probably the main draw for this pedal. There's no doubt that you can get some pretty good sounding tones out of this, but it likely won't be the definitive distortion pedal in your chain.

Brown sound in a german way

scheggia, 18.05.2020

Great pedal if you are in the quest for brown sound.
Requires a good power supply or it could turn into a noisy pedal.
Huge and greasy tone, maybe not so dynamic as other pedals on the market but if it's good for Thomas Blug it's good for me too.

PRO:
Marshall hot rodded tone in a tiny pedal;
the presence control;
great value for the price;

CONS:
not friendly with every power supply (do yourself a favor: use the HB Power Plant Junior and be happy)

Un JCM 800 dans une boite !

Salle 224, 12.04.2020

J'ai acquis cette pédale sur un coup de tête, pour voir, ma curiosité attisée par les quelques vidéos trainant sur YouTube. Je possède déjà pas mal de matos mais je n'avais pas (encore) de son type JCM 800 à part dans des simulateurs sur ordinateur, alors... Une cinquantaine d'euros pour un JCM 800 ? Allons y.

Matériel utilisé : Ibanez RG 1527, Micros DiMarzio Evolution, Stratocaster Classic 60's Player, Orange Rocker 15 Terror, cab Orange PPC212V.

PREMIERS CONTACTS
Elle est très "pedalboard friendly" avec ses toutes petites dimensions, à peu près les mêmes que les Mooer microseries. Détail sympathique, elle est livrée avec une bande de velcro pour la faire tenir sur un pedalboard, ça n'est pas grand chose mais je trouve le geste éminemment sympathique ! Le boitier en métal a l'air solide, le switch également, les potards un peu moins mais en étant précautionneux dans leur usage, cela devrait bien se passer.

LE SON
C'est une très belle surprise. Nous avons là le grain typique d'un JCM800, très british ! Le potard de gain est très progressif, partant du crunch Bluesy mais tout de même bien torride à l'avalanche Metal 80s.

L'égalisation à deux potards (Tone et Presence) s'avère très pertinente. On peut concocter un son à la fois très gras et bien défini, en baissant la tonalité et en augmentant la présence, ce qui pourra ravir certains adeptes des sons Stoner ! En augmentant les deux, on arrive vers des territoires plus brillants, mais jamais "trop secs" comme sur certaines disto. En triturant bien l'eq, on est vraiment pas loin d'un James Hetfield des premiers Metallica, avis aux amateurs.

Les sons Rock plus conventionnels, d'une certaine subtilité, restent tout à fait atteignables en baissant le potard de gain. On obtiendra ainsi de jolis crunchs, des sons modérément saturés assez aérés pour des rythmiques Blues Rock bien senties. Pour autant, la Golden Brownie n'est pas destinée à des registres sages. Son caractère demeure brûlant en permanence ! Mais après tout, c'est un JCM 800 qu'elle émule : C'est une parfaite réussite en la matière.

CONCLUSION
Xvive avec la Golden Brownie a réussi son pari : Le son Marshall qui tient dans la poche sans ruiner le compte en banque. Le rapport qualité/prix est assez dingue. Le seul petit bémol concernerait les potards et leur apparente fragilité, attention donc, mais sur le plan sonore c'est un vrai régal : Fans de son Marshall, à ce prix là, faites vous plaisir, vous ne le regretterez pas !
