    What are the effects, types of effects available? reverb room, flat, cathedral, chorus, flanger, delay
    - Are they editable? Via a publisher Mac / PC? not
    - What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI) ¼ "unbalanced
    - Is this a rack or rack-mount model? yes
    7 as unbalanced, and then it's a shame not to tap tempo! I take into account the low price in my grade and I did not expect the pro for this price, otherwise I would have put 3.

    UTILIZATION

    - The general configuration is simple? Yes, very simple. Assayed the entry level, choosing a purpose, the decay rate, delay, and the FX level mix. To save it to do a long press "store". There is no simpler.

    UTILIZATION

    - The general configuration is simple? Yes, very simple. Assayed the entry level, choosing a purpose, the decay rate, delay, and the FX level mix. To save it to do a long press "store". There is no simpler.
    - Editing of sounds and effects is easy? Yes, editing is easy but must be dosed finely to get a good result. In my opinion not too much I want. The knob who respond well and whose race is well adapted, can be assayed finely.
    - The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
    Yes 22 pages including 10 that are not used. He gave me the idea of ​​accede to a handy feature compares. It publishes an effect preset mode, it saves it to the bank and use it modifies the effect of bank use. By pressing the register can easily compare what has been published.
    9 because it is simple to use and it goes critical, but we can still sharpen well. A tap tempo without delay even when it's not terrible and phazer adjustable depth but not speed it bof.

    SOUND QUALITY

    - Effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough? yes they are effective but not all realistic, it's not the goal. We can leave good effects of the delay in setting it right, and reverb from natural metals. The chorus is worse than my juno 106 and better than a boss CEB3 but in any case more customizable.
    - Which instruments do you use? Synth
    From a sound point of view it is interesting to work but it brings the matter of breath, the noise (but present in small numbers all the same), the input is too sensitive and not enough output. The output level is shit, really much too low and the input peak very quickly, so that the sound is not strong at all. For plugged in on a table can catch up a little every ca but not the fact that the FX level must often be thoroughly.
    More he eats the bass and treble and it is his greatest fault. Good food but the dynamic effects and thus extreme 5.

    OVERALL OPINION

    - For how long have you been using it? 2 days. I bought it at a good price on a flea market for the test.
    - What thing do you like most/least about it? He is creative, the FX are good and it shows that EFX is very useful in a prod to get more but it has too many flaws prohibitive. Input level too low and output idem. Fx level which is useless, and breath noise.
    - Did you try many other models before getting this one? As I have a TC FireworX MFX, a Korg PK2 touch for delirium, a BBE Maxcom as compress and maximizer, a filter and a sherman Mutator, a Boss EQ PQ4 a Big Muff PI Russian svc a vocoder 350, and multiple effects of my v-synth, my MV8000 and my machine drum. So yes I like the effects!
    - What is your opinion about the value for the price? paid 60 € and exchanged against a Russian Big Muff PI. It is worth 60 € for delirium and to test but it degrades the sound more than it embellishes.
    - Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? To get hand it may be pretty but with a little bit of all AC requirements will not suffice. Mfx who eats a spectrum, dynamic, with adjustment unnecessary, a little breath, qq parasites, unbalanced, too sensitive an input and an output not enough ---> I will not repeat that choice, no. A KAOSS pad is better.
