UTILIZATION

The ergonomics are well thought out, very close to Alesys Guitar Fx, different knobs to scroll through the effects and make adjustments on FX, Amps, Distortions ... After that is stored in just one program.
The rhythms are simple to start, too bad we can approximately set the tempo (no indication of this one).
The manual serves only to become familiar with the abbreviations used on the screen.

SOUND QUALITY

Here is the big surprise, for € 50, this device offers effective distortion (the one I use is stored in my closet DS1) and not synthetic, we can refine the sound with several simulation models (British, U.S. ...) in the spirit ultimately sought and the result is quite credible and not too cold.
Ditto for the effects, there are of course some gadgets (auto-wah unusable eg) but the reverb, delay, flanger and chorus sound good.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this multi effect for 1 year and it seems to me far better than much more expensive models (Line 6 in the crosshairs). The case is plastic and it will require a little cleaning but otherwise it's all good!
