Two effects processors, one for modulation (chorus, flanger, tremolo and delay) and the other for reverbs
It is digital, are theoretically are edited via an editor provided on the site tc. simple connection jack (L / R for stereo) and SPDIF digital inputs and outputs.
1U and Killdry for use in a parallel loop.

UTILIZATION

Configuration architecture simple, not more complicated than a foot to settle, the sounds are easy to remember, easy to edit and save. The manual is clear enough. However, it should be noted that the parameters available for the sounds are few, and we can not change the sound drastically (which is not necessarily a fault, it avoids the excesses). We may not receive a reverb and an effect of modulation / delay.

SOUND QUALITY

While the sound quality .... well I'm not a big fan of effects but hey, I got some memories that left me more or less happy. It gives very nice sounds, but totally distorts the original sound of the guitar, no bypass, with all effects off, the sound changed dramatically, and thus serves as a working basis for the effects .. . then on the hardware a bit cheap, it can do, if ...
rendering effects, however, is very nice, I repeat, it's really a shame that the incoming signal is so radically changed .. no bypass .. For me, the only acceptable use of this effect is to insert it into a parallel effects loop adjustable with Killdry engaged, so that the G-Sharp will then return so that the treated signal that can mix with the dry signal (no effect) real amp, via a setting on the amp. It is the only way I found to keep the color of my original sound ..

OVERALL OPINION

I used it 6 months .. It was fine on my previous material, and other parameters in a parallel loop. but I changed to an all-tube amp with an H & K parallel loop as well, but I want to use as a serial loop to insert a volume pedal, and therefore, catastrophe, I end up with a sound far below in quality than gross out my amp ..
Also a concern in this multi purpose. There is an adjustable input level, with an LED whose color indicates the level (red = it saturates the multi purpose so you have to keep it green / orange, with just a few short passages in red) .. good, then very simple: seeing if you can use the multi effect to its nominal operating level, bin level is very much amplified, thus saturating the amp .. if you want to find a level similar to that sent by the receiver, it must lower the level of entry into the G-Sharp, who works at a level so low, and eats the whole dynamic of the more dynamic delay which is very nice snaps systematically, since its n'atteind never a normal threshold to cut the impact .. brief .... not very good ..
