By Marcelo Rosa

The V-Tone Guitar GDI-21 is an analog guitar modeling preamp and it was developed for competing in the analogs pedals market. GDI-21 presents a good relation cost vs. benefits. It´s compact and proposes a big easily of the adjust that results in high quality sounds.

It has simulation of three classics amplifiers: Fender, Marshall and Mesa/Boogie. What helps it to pitch in a dinamic way are the three modes of win and the three positions of microphones. The controls of Level and Drive and the two bands of equalization (Treble and Bass) give efficiency and accuracy.

The GDI-21 has a output of XLR balanced, that differs it from the others simulators of the market and in the same time to make possible direct recording with a simulation of the amplifier or like a direct box pattern in the mode BYPASS.

The Ground Lift key when putted in eliminate some problems caused by the fault of covering of earth.

The pitches obtained through the simulation of Fender amplifiers (Twed) present an excellent  crunch for the lovers of the  blues and rock n´roll. For those who like Hard Rock and Heavy Metal will can hold in usufruct of the ptches offer by the simulation of Marshall (Brit). Other categories of the heavy metal (Thrash, Death, New...) will usufruct the simulation Mesa/Boogie (Calif).

The relation cost versus benefit really impress. It´s a compact pedal, easy to use, cheap and easily combinable with other pedals, allowing to draw out excellents sounds.
