  Audiofanzine FR's review

  Characteristics

  Originally written by alex-arkane on Audiofanzine FR.
  
  
  
  Already described.

  Utilization

  Very easy to use and affordable to anyone. Select up to five effects in the loop, adjust them and record. It couldn't be easier. The manual is clear enough to be understood by anyone. The footswitches are pretty wide and there is enough space between them so that you won't step on two of them unintentionally. Considering its dimensions, the product was conceived for live applications. The integrated wah pedal works good, although it must be depressed very hard to remove it from the effects loop without changing the settings.

  Sound Quality

  It's a digital device so don't expect a miraculous sound. On the other hand, it's a multi-effects unit so you know what you get. People who criticize it should get a 100 lbs. analog pedalboard.
  
  - Effects like wah and acoustic simulation are totally ok, while effects like the drone, the synth or even the octaver fail to meet expectations.
  
  - Distortion, overdrive and amp simulation effects are ok even though some of them are useless and sound very similar.
  
  - Average quality but useful modulation effects (especially the chorus and flanger).
  
  - Delay effects are the product's main assets. They sound excellent and are very versatile.
  
  - Quality reverb, although the only really useful algorithm is the large hall.

  Overall Opinion

  It's the only multi-effects I've ever tried but it never disappointed me. I recommend it to anyone, especially now that its price is lower.

  marti42's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " well"

  Characteristics

  there are just as effective (fuzz, distortion, wah ...) it lacks a tremolo
  
  
  
  unfortunately I have not found a rack and sounds are not editable in pc / mac
  
  
  
  connectors: jack in jack 6.3
  
  : Jack to 3.5 in
  
  : Send / return in
  
  : Is left / right jack 6.3
  
  : Headset 3.5
  
  : Noon (in out)
  
  : Optical output

  Utilization

  very easy to program (I don 'not have a manual) and fast pedal grip
  
  
  
  No I do not have the manual since I bought in the Cygnus

  Sound Quality

  there are very good sounds saturated and effects
  
  there are a multitude of settings that allow you to be able to adjust his desires
  
  
  
  I have tested it with an Epiphone Les Paul

  Overall Opinion

  I used the last 4 years
  
  
  
  before acquiring the product I 'd test several boss pedals, vox and zoom
  
  
  
  The +: the sound and the multitude of adjustment possible on any effects
  
  
  
  the -: the quality of the product. While I have purchased Cygnus but it was new, never used.
  
  After 4 years of use, I have done my headphone fell from above and it does not work, there are now "Christmas tree" it flashes everywhere and therefore unusable I want to clarify that the pedal after a year of use has started to malfunction as I lowered the pedal
  
  
  
  the price / quality ratio is pretty good despite € 166 Thomann product quality
  
  if I redo this purchase it will only be for sound and not for the strength of the product
  
  (Although four years for a pedal c is not bad)

  matowar's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Very good value for money"

  Characteristics

  fully digital multi-effect pedal
  
  
  
  5 parts of effects:
  
  Pre amp
  
  simulation amp / distortion / fuzz
  
  modulations
  
  delay
  
  reverb
  
  
  
  Crank non rackable, editable midi sounds
  
  
  
  Connections:
  
  Inputs: Jack 6.35, entered the MP3 player plug type
  
  insert loop: send / return jack 6.35 in
  
  Outputs: 2 jack 6.35 for stereo headphone plug type MP3 player, optical SPDIF
  
  controller noon: dyn type connectors in and out

  Utilization

  Manual clear, lacks a bit of info about noon (I've never used head way)
  
  
  
  Its easily editable, sounds are good to very good
  
  
  
  to note the existence of a sequencer to vary almost any effect parameter. Editing is a bit daunting but few multi effects offer this kind of thing so good.
  
  
  
  Note a: insert a loop to add the pedals or super store that you absolutely want to keep ..
  
  
  
  Note b: pedal stroke configurable (ie you can set the adjustment range min and max) it is useful
  
  
  
  Note 4: A switch is present in the effect pedal that switches from triggering wha automatiqueemnt

  Sound Quality

  Realistic effects and adapted mostly played on an amp.
  
  
  
  Not as good live but égualisation table mixing and quality of sound are for a lot too!
  
  
  
  reverb and delays are good or very good
  
  
  
  Note for each patch was its setting in one additional effective noise reductor and a master level in addition to any other settings .. very useful to put all your sound at the same level or not according to your needs.
  
  
  
  Info for the sound bank used was developed by Korg and is used in the TONELAB vox ... for far more expensive (a lamp pre amp plus it's true ..)
  
  
  
  a bit of latency on the pitch shifter but still acceptable
  
  
  
  Attention to the setting sounds: config in to sound in which you play (ie do not set your sound to the headset then play amp .. the rendering is very different pa cons no problem to move or live amp .. . serve you equalize the table to get what you want.)

  Overall Opinion

  used for 3 years
  
  
  
  Second multi effect (my first one .. ZOOM years old 80 .. God rest his soul)
  
  
  
  switch to a small problem after 3 years (thomann has taken me one week after the end of the warranty .. thank you, change the switch .. and in fact it was the mixer so my local kidding no pbm bottom bracket final)
  
  
  
  not tried other before purchase
  
  
  
  Very good value for money. I recommend this purchase for beginners / intermediates

  nitz31's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Good quality / price ratio"

  Characteristics

  I got between 2008 and 2011. There are almost all standard effects, some more effects a little more chiadés. This is a digital version of multi pedals.

  Utilization

  Find his own sound is still a little long on this type of machines. Against by editing presets seemed easy, and enjoyable menus. The manual is sufficient.

  Sound Quality

  Simus and the effects of various barrels: there is good (the sims are not bad overall, firms correct the reverbs and delays), and less good (chorus blah, octaver latency makes it virtually unusable, the wah with a race so weak did not much interest) and even disgusting (acoustic simulator, flanger rocket, whaaaaargmmy ...). Clear sound level is correct, and there is a true bypass. Distos level is the simulation, but playing on associations simulation amp sims + + HP compressor, we manage to find a grain lot. In my memory, it is not suitable for playing too big of metal, but rather to rock. Finally, the step sequencer is a gadget with no real practical use.

  Overall Opinion

  3 years of use. I liked its versatility. I tried a lot of models in zoom in roland boss in among Tech21. I rather liked this machine, and I sold to get more complexity (yes, yes), I went on a GX700 computer and squarely, and not because it suited me more noise level. I hesitated to redeem occas me to use MIDI controller for its strength (it is VERY tough, like all Roland family of products that I've played), but I have not done . The effects that I did not like are the effects I use usually, so no worries for me. I recommend a beginner guitarist in effects.

  Gab66's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Gasworks!"

  Characteristics

  Beautiful mulit effects, imposing, breathing quality, it has everything you can ask, effects galore, ultra complete connectivity, buttons jes pretty lights everywhere, we feel that it can handle shocks.

  Utilization

  In use, after a quick look, we feel confident quickly and can easily grind sounds, it is easily tamed and have many effects settings, the identification is complete, we get lost easily. Great ergonomics.
  
  To use all the functions you need to bone up on the manual, especially the enslavement of the expression pedal effects to certain parameters, or the ESS gives very interesting results.

  Sound Quality

  Sound .... I hated the factory presets (especially amp simulations, the ditos) criads too, caricatured and not usable for a penny ...
  
  Fortunately, once we look at the beast and we edited our own chaining, it becomes much more fun! Effects are convincing and well usable many (multiple settings thank you! Fun as a little crazy!

  Overall Opinion

  Used for about four five years is a very powerful, playful and full. Factory if they had (in my opinion) is better sound, it would have been the best!
  
  Black spot, reliability, he dropped me, breath of crazy, almost no sound while I took care ... Perhaps the fault with no luck ...

  wally52's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " good find!"

  Characteristics

  it has everything I was looking for my sounds and connections

  Utilization

  nothing wrong really not complicated to use

  Sound Quality

  for sim amps and effects impeccable, whether live or in the studio (but need a compressor) it gives really good.

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for two weeks (this is a purchase made on a pitcher is 30 €, the guy did not use it????)
  
  
  
  The downside for me is its compression, but hey at this price I will not cry, I connected a compressor pedal and presto! gives his thunder
  
  
  
  to compare my old Boss ME33 (a complicate to die), this is luxury at low price, good! I know very well at korg synth bit that I do not trust them side gear guitar.
  
  
  
  by my side for price / quality ratio, really nothing to say, even I would have bought new.

  jack Mayer's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  The pedals give access to five effects: Pre FX, Drive / Amp, Mod, Delay, Reverb.
  
  In each group it is possible to program several effects.
  
  Ex pre FX: compressor; Pickup (micro simulator) Acoustic, Vox Wha, Wha Auto; U-vibe/phase, chorus / flanger, octave ring mod, Drone, Synth.
  
  It's a bit like this one has 5 effects pedals, programmable itself.
  
  Editing is very easy, even on the PC where the inter action is instantaneous, which is working on the software publisher or the pedal, the two Mettes a day in real time.
  
  Here everything is digital, and the connection is complete for use "standard"
  
  The little extra: an effects loop with dedicated footswitch.

  Utilization

  It is very easy to find it is even his strong point, and editing is too easy. (In two hours, a boy of four years master the beast!).
  
  The manual? Oops! Ben zon to the forgotten he sold the machine in France, so it's in German, revised its nice to German, or you do like me: you download the French on the Internet, and you spend at your favorite bookseller who shoed be happy to make a beautiful binding. The download instructions are more detailed than that provided in German (weird).
  
  A read for novices, others can save themselves from print, unless they love beautiful documents.

  Sound Quality

  The sound quality is a crucial point of my criticism, this is my point of view, which is only my opinion:
  
  If you intend to use it on stage, in rehearsal, or in general, on an amp, then this is the right choice.
  
  If, for use against you in the studio, your way, it does not like your attention.
  
  In the studio, it even beats my rack "Behringer V-Amp Pro," while on an amp is very realistic.
  
  (My config: Vox AC30 amp cc2x Guitars: Gibson LP limited edition and Koa Fender Strato US standard)

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for one month before I use a chorus pedal, buy cheap 20 years ago and has an overdrive lights I installed in the effects loop.
  
  I tried several multi effects, which, in general, are quite disappointing on some effects and very effective on others, which is frustrating. This is a very good compromise because the effects are good and all, but not the ultimate, it defends well.
  
  These strengths:-sounds (on an amp)
  
  -Programming (PC editor)
  
  -Loop effects
  
  -Pedal (calibration and mechanical)
  
  These weaknesses-implantation noon (PCs are attributed to the program number, but the CC is not assigned to duties as a Forsythe.
  
  -No description of the system exclusive messages
  
  -Sounds in the studio "online"
  
  External power supply-sensitive
  
  Dynamic drop-amp simulator
  
  Overall, I recommend this effect to multi user who wishes to use on an amp, a small budget and a good compromise: easy programming and sounds correct, it works like 5 effects pedal ... this joint may be a good choice.

  Protectingveil's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " it does!"

  Characteristics

  I do not return on the technical characteristics set out in numerous opinions and ... in its data sheet. In summary:
  
  - A pre-effects section: COMP (Compressor), PICKUP (simulates a guitar with a humbucking single coil ... or vice versa), ACOUSTIC (simulates an acoustic guitar), VOX WAH (wahwah), AUTO WAH , U-VIBE/PHASE, Chorus / Flanger, OCTAVE, RING MOD, DRONE, SYNTH, pickup (,
  
  - An amplifier section is where you choose the type of distortion is the type of amp simulator (which is associated with a simulated speaker (modifiable and can be disabled)
  
  - A section Modulation: chotus, flanger, phaser, because some "special"
  
  - A section Delay
  
  - A reverb section.
  
  Software is available for free download to save / edit upload / download sounds. PC/ax3000g communication is done via the MIDI port (you need a midi interface so PC side).

  Utilization

  The principles are simple to use. Which can make use complex ... is the wealth of opportunities and interactions. Example: when you use an amp simulator, you have the ability to adjust the tone (trebble, middle, bass), but the gain associated with the enclosure. So if you add the other items available which are configurable, imagine the number of combinations!
  
  The pedal can be assigned to control volume or wah-wah ... or many other parameters (eg speed of the delay, chorus depth, portamento, etc ... It can also be disabled
  
  Personally, I kept a volume pedal and I use depending on the pedal as the AX3000G whawha as a controller or other parameters.

  Sound Quality

  As a preamble I would say that I see many comments on this or other multi-effect that seems to ignore the other elements of the chain (guitar, amp, sound system, etc. ...). Sounds to me are very good and can be judged by plugging a (good) headphones to the jack corresponding AX3000G. So I appreciated the extent of possibility of the craft and that is how I prepare my sounds, leaving me to repeat them only small adjustments with respect to the amp used and the sound system.
  
  I think that when using a multi-effects (especially lorqu'il includes amp simulation), it is better to have an amp behind as neutral as possible because otherwise you can reach a large boiled quelquesoit sound quality multi-effects and the amp. Me I use the clean channel of a small Roland Cube 60.

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for a year. Bought 169 euros from Thomann. I had a problem on it (down unwanted noise). He is exchanged against a new one -> no complaints.
  
  Very good value for money. I just hope that the Chinese manufactures are treated well ... and yes in our enthusiasm we must not forget that all these materials are a nice bargain prices through the exploitation of workers / esclaves...et the detriment of our local industry).
  
  In any case it is a great product.

  Characteristics

  the main effect is in this box
  
  the patch was recorded in 30 seconds
  
  
  
  very simple edition
  
  
  
  digital output is really great for those who want recorded on a digital model using sound card

  Utilization

  very user friendly I did not open the manual
  
  
  
  being a fan of products by Korg synthesizers, I just put myself on guitar, plus piano and synthesizer, the first effect guitar satisfies me

  Sound Quality

  Yes very realistic and easily editable
  
  
  
  I use a Stratocaster and an acoustic electric, it works very well with both
  
  
  
  very versatile

  Overall Opinion

  for 2 days, I tried several models in the store
  
  
  
  superb machine I paid 30 euros is too much in store when you see the
  
  
  
  secondhand prices on the opportunity sites
