«  The best way ahead of the other »

No need to return it. All effects are present. Note the harmonizer which allows interesting simulation of 12 strings, the famous and infamous whammy settings maladd (haha detuuuuune the effect). The big plus is that in addition to being usable mode multi-effects pedalboard AND, it is also possible since the update, make a damn good looper. Besides the plethora of connectivity, the USB plug to turn it into sound without latency map (yes, tested and approved under guitar rig). Brief. Abused do so complete. Note that simus hi gain amps sound great. Absolute disgrace to those who dare say otherwise. We must connect the AC on a sound system or powered speakers for neutral understand !!! Obviously if one is beast enough to go through the grain of an amp + hp his shit, obviously it sounds cold and mushy or acid.

UTILIZATION

Being able to move from a simple button on a pedalboard (or activates up to five effects as if they were activated DEDICATED pedals on each of the 5 switches) has a multi effects or moving from one sound has the other nearly 200 recorded sounds. It's happiness. But even more when we pass by the sound editor, very well done and much more ergonomic than direct editing on the pedal, which is still not bad anyway.

SOUND QUALITY

As do most guitarists, the absolute error is to mix amp sims has an amp sound. And usually it gives résiltats of shit, it must be said. How many times I killed some friends or great lovers amp has lamps with my sounds taken directly from the sound system or powered speakers. It must be said that the multi effect can happily be used without the amp sims so intending to those who want a max editable effects and accessible without losing the color of their amp. It was the base that why I bought it. And then I got into the direct connection to the PA system. And there, another world opened up to me. I loved the hi gain amp sims, because even without the heat lamps are kept that side board and law. And I play strong or weak I keep the same sound, with almost no other parasite than my hand, my microphone and my jack. Fabulous!

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for a good year to do an EP at home and craft. Then I discovered the pod xt live pod HD500 then that even taped me even though the effects are noticeably better at Digitech. I hesitated to definitively separate me an amp to pass only by Sim as now do a lot of groups. The sound difference is minimal for a much smaller cost. My back says thank you too.

I also hesitate to keep my long digitech and even make me fart RP1000. But after buying a Variax 500 in line 6 pod hd both + and xt live ... Can not go back. I have so many possibilities in sound material ... A pure delight.

on the other hand, it is September 2014 and Thomann has proposed € 185. A RP500 which cost almost € 300 there is little, it's a bargain sacred. Hard to find a less than 150 € OCCAZ (aside in poor condition, but it is super strong!)
