Effects: Chorus and Reverb
An anti larsen
A "simulator" that allows you to play virtually on the size of the box and the distance micro / strings.
An equalizer: bass, mdium, acute and prsence.
Gnral volume and 2 levels following the connection of piezo or magntic.
A comuter phase: normal or inversbr />
Connectivity (one of the highlights):
By magnetic or Piezo input jack (indpendants)
Output Stereo / Mono by jack and / or XLR
Footswitch Jack (Stereo)
Insert
Power boss.

The effects are numriques, but program is the "old" by turning the knobs and therefore no memory setting (and not making head).

All in a sturdy box in mtal well. The knobs seem a bit fragile (the 9 is to a) ... I have never broken one yet as I am a breaker while pathological.

UTILIZATION

Configuration: it is difficult to be simpler.
The manual ... uh ... I think I've never opened ... DSOL.

SOUND QUALITY

The quality is excellent effects with respect to the chorus and reverb.
I confess I have never needed the anti feedback.
The simulator cash ... little used but the effect on the sound is really so everyone can find their account. Same distance on a micro whatever gives some extent when recording.
The legalization does his Boult, but no more.

I sound a little critical and it is not true: with all the Settings, you get really give a color and texture his guitar.

The 2 XLR outputs: gnial to attack a console for both scne register.

Trs transparent effect: no hum and other buzz, no breath ... variment trs good.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it with an electro-acoustic, but also with an electric. I am absolutely delighted.
