This pedal has virtually every effect you can think of. It has some of the wierdest effects like the Auto Riffs built in along with the classic choruses, flangers and phasers. There are also a multitude of amp models and distortion types. It cannot be edited through the computer, and there are input/output, output mono, and other plug-ins. As far as I know, it is not rackable either.

UTILIZATION

It is very easy to find everything and turn everything. The effect presets are selected by turning the dial, and edited by turning the knobs. It takes some time getting used to the effect editing, and the manual comes in handy to get great tone and effects out of the pedal. The manual describes pretty much everything about the pedal, and is over 10 pages long. It significantly helps with the editing, as it gives you tips to make better effects.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects on this range from totally outrageous and unusable to the essential guitar add on. The distortions and modulations are all usable in there own way, and the effects and delays are all there to choose from. There are several kinds of wah, and the ability to create your own, which can be cool. The expression pedal is all there and can be assigned to a multitude of tasks. I bought it for my girlfriend and she uses a Ibanez RGX20 through it. I can't stand the Autoriff feature, but other than that, all 340 effects are really nice.

OVERALL OPINION

We've been using it for about a month, and the effects are really amazing. I like the chorus knob, separate from the other effects, and the type variation in the distortion. As said before, the only thing I don't like about the pedal is the Auto Riff. I have tried the Boss ME-50 and ME-20 before this, as well as the Digitech RP series, and I thought this blew them away. I got this whole unit, with a power supply for $100, so I could not be happier with the purchase. If I knew what I know now, I would have bought it earlier. Amazing pedal.
