There are many "effects on this machine: compressor, eq, speaker cabinet simulation, simulation of preamp, chorus, flanger, octave, looper (syncrho pm), delay, reverb, defretter, ring modulator, enhancer, phaser, tremolo, autopan, synthbass, distos ... they are all digital bills (COSM).
Of course all these effects are editable with the usual parameters for each of these effects.
connectivity is very comprehensive, audio in (mono unfortunately) in jack, SPDIF out, XLR (it also DI) outputs are stereo, there is midi in / out, headphone jack, pedal ... it's very complete.
UTILIZATION
There is plenty of control in quickly carved facade to the sound, the pedals are very well thought out as they allow past or the patch on, off the effects in a patch. The foot control can switch to different mode thanks to a interuptor end position (it can also activate effects (wah, ring modulator, tune ...)
If you press the pedal 2 patch at the same time we pass on the tuner that is precise and does not answer.
edition of the effects is simple, there are still menus, but that's normal considering the number of parameter that contains each effet.neamoins, many of these parameters are assignable to third controller (Noon. ..)
we can choose the order of effects very simply.
the manual is not the clearest I've ever met, it lacks some concepts (it's about 80 pages and could have the purpose of clarity be more accurate and detailed over the different effects and different assignment feasible.
but I think a lot of bass that does not care about these gaps.
they could make to make the machine even more moduulaire (assigning multiple parameters of different effects on the expression pedal.
Usage requirements at the beginning is crazy (if you want to return the bacon, but after a few hours learning it is much more free.
edit: you can assign a total of 10 parameters simultaneously with the expression pedal is something crazy, I'm stuck!
SOUND QUALITY
The effects are very specific, very clean, despite their original digital no shortage of heat. biensur not the analog but ...
there are many different distortion with different grain, different compressor are interesting to listen to the amp simulation brings something real (at the base I did not care for the amp I wanted simus effects but ultimately, it tripp's enough and what approté of different colors to sound.
I use it on my 5 string noguera term but also mainly on my fretless Fender Jazzbass and my old synth korg monopoly.
well on simus amp imitate bass amps in my opinion is what earned him the appellation indeed low, some effects are more oriented bass (synth bass) but it n'empache not put anything in it entry.
the sound with my korg monopoly is just great, I have serious Tripp.
I like all effects, no real preference as long as he let me experience things.
you can really go to hyper twisted sounds as sound as a very clean sound very synthetic, or more classical effects (wah, for example)
the sound is really good, the signal to noise ratio is very low
(I plug the machine on my monitoring speakers (I have no bass amp).
Bypass is a true bypass circuit passes through an analog (also active only when delay and chorus effects, the respective wet dry are between the analog circuit and the effects ...
OVERALL OPINION
I have this past 2 weeks, I bought a little by chance, I tried it in the shop and I was captivated by the possibilities offered to me in a very short time (the looper is great It allows the sampled line with purpose, effect change and completed with a different effect ... the original presetqs are a crap (as so often ...) they have the boss effects with earplugs ... you have returned the machine to understand its true potential.
I really like the proposed number of effects and quality of this. I find it lacks a side more modular machine (aaaahhhhhhh we always want more ...) although it is already very malleable.
I tried many multi-effects pedals as well as simple before buying ...
value for money is interesting. because this machine offers many opportunities and a wide range of his simple manner (one machine) and effective (quality effect)
I do not know if I would do this choice, because each machine its own philosophy that brings a way to work differently, I wanted a machine to get out of his bass and twisted with my other, I took it ... I might have to turn to something else, It has been worked differently mauri ...
in any case I'm really surprised by the sound quality of this machine as well as the opportunities it offers, I hate to experiment, for that matter I have left you there is a red box with lots of buttons flashing on the floor ...
