    <strong>1) Briefly:</strong>
    Well, as there is not a lot of opinions on the stuff I post. (I rpugne provide vingtime opinion on a very trick known).

    It is a multi all digital, no rack, obviously, the sounds are not ditables other than the memory of the pedal.

    Connectivity: low in, 2 outputs for alimenter2 amps, headphone jack, power supply 9V 300mA, headphone jack, jack to connect a pedal to navigate SECOND patches instead of the 3 pedals contraption.

    What is missing? In my opinion, a DI jack subculture on a sound system.
    Otherwise, everything is.

    Casing Mtal that exudes solidity.

    <strong>2) Effects:
    </strong> 1st section of whas and deffreteur, octave. (5)
    2nd compressors, distortion and ovardrives, synths. (6)
    3rd: Envelopes: rverb, flanger, chorus, delay, phaser (7)
    4-band equalizer +, efficient ...
    + A pedal that makes volume or wha (nothing else) touch.
    + A switchable bass boost by an additional pedal.
    + A "noise reductor" very effective.
    + Reliable tuner.

    9 For I have wanted a DI ... (never happy the guy)

    USE

    The config is very very comfortable. We must spend time reading the manual (I speak for myself, not for the pros that kind of thingy)
    Note about the manual, it is a bit "loose", we must navigate through the pages, was not easy easy.

    However, once the trick pig this multi offers easy access to the main useful effects bassist. No need to manipulate hours accder programms to presets.

    The edition of sounds, if it is not the easiest, is very Nevertheless fine. Thanks DIFFERENT delays, cool distos paramtrables as a single pedal, REALLY gives the sound you want, to the paramtrable volume. Really good.

    9 for the complexity at first.


    SOUND QUALITY

    <strong>Effects:</strong>
    if they are few, compared to what we find in Zoom Digitech or (yuck), this little object is nevertheless a multi-effects bass player. No harmonizer pitch, sounds from outer space and other inutilits which are more of a gadget is bassistequi cheek shredder (not kidding, any).
    It will essentially. I think it's perfect.

    <strong>Sound quality:
    </strong> is studied for the live: simplicity robustness but the sound does not lil. Certainly, there is no distortion of the EBS ValveDrive 290 euros but are distos Nevertheless convincing. Enclosures (chorus, flanger ...) are not as cold as on low onreuses pedals.

    I like the overdrive + live mix that clear bass sound with the distortion signal. Essential for some formations trio, nice compressor (I do not use with OUTRs rglages)

    No "plop" in effect change.

    Used with Precision Squier VM (micro Duncan Designed), a Jazz team of Wilkinson pickups, a Cort Artisan C4 MightyMite active pickups.

    For the price (179 in Milonga and MusicStore; 177 Thomann), a is 10.

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    Used for a few weeks, this multi holds the high drage the series Digitech BP (rotten!), And the series B. Zoom (B1 etc ...).
    It is a compelling dot bypass that does not dnature the sound of your babasse. I had Zoom, and bt hurts with these boxes ptites of ct bypass, the fanciful and tuner Noise Reductor. The "ZNR" Zoom has always permit on my amps sounds incongruous and never convinced me. No Noise Reductor the Boss.

    With this Boss, you have a low possder & a decent amp that sound identity. (Note that I did not say crazy stuff.) Unlike most multis, we do not find here amp simulation. So no Marshall or Fender Bassman Superbass the inside nor Ampeg ...

    Nothing esprer if you play with Jim Harley on a Stagg amp. (That said, I'm not a snob of zik and playing in bars and feasts of the zik, a Squier or Yam, a Cort, it works ...)

    In short, this stuff is 10. I forgive him no DI because it has a good pedal while Mtal which is assignable to the volume or wah effect very very easily.

    You could buy it. And do not make me ch *** with individual pedals, made bzzzzzzzzzzz from 2 requires a noise suppressor of a quality tuner, quality of power supply with lots of little son or p dal onreux board, on stage, when a jack makes me for ages ... which we'll pick

    Honestly, we do not hear the difference with individual pedals Boss on stage ...

    The edition of the sounds is simple, changing and very simply modifying the sounds that go into a bank and can be adquate reminders as you want.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The effects are GPs my taste: for my part, I use the round pchu clean and sometimes a bit of reveb. and lightweight crunch.

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    I operated for about two years, but for a year, it no longer serves me for training: It is installed on my desktop and I work my bass with headphones on.
    This is perfect for me because I work in silence and I have very agrables sound with excellent flexibility.

    Work may be the only low rbarbatif sometimes but if the sound in the headphones is good you can play, and that's my case for hours without fatigue or weariness.
    I no longer use my ME 20 B thus because my Ampeg SVT VR and my 610 HLF branch that I no longer tuner and a compressor: you plug, you make any rglage and you play. .... it's ok !!
    All fawn, I do not see myself send sound with 300 W lamps in an office of 10 m2 ??? !!!!
    The R / Q report is excellent.
    I remake that choice without problem.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Effects are realistic for my taste: for my part, I use clean round and punchy, sometimes a bit of reveb. and light crunch.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I operated for about two years, but last year, it helps me more than for training: It is installed on my desktop and I bump my headphone on bass.
    This is perfect for me because I work in silence and I sound very nice with excellent flexibility.

    Bass work alone can sometimes be boring, but if the sound in the headphones is good you can play, and that's my case for hours without fatigue or weariness.
    I no longer use my ME 20 B thus because on my Ampeg SVT 610 HLF my VR and I do more than one branch tuner and a compressor: you branches, you do any setting and you play ... it's ok ..!
    In any case, I do not see myself sending her with 300 W lamps in an office of 10 m2???!!
    Report R / Q is excellent.
    I remake that choice without problem.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had three days and I'm still PERIOD test but I like what I discovering .... it has the advantage of being is a p DALI MULTI ... effects must be solid, practical, compact, easy to approach ... etc. .... But above all, finally a pdalier that does not amphase on modlisations amp like any other .... more when your amp sounds dja ....... Thanks Boss!

    see description already given

    UTILIZATION

    For a novice in terms of effect, the use of pre-recorded effects and not bad, but where it's complicated is when one seeks to create effects, especially if we do not know much!

    The manual could have been done better, but quite useful!



    SOUND QUALITY

    Effects are more than well!

    the only problem I encounter is the very low noise level when the latter is connected in a loop or even live, I have not yet found the solution!

    I use it at home, the time to get used to it, with my Fender Jazz Us, and my Ianez ARTB-100Wh

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for several months now, but still in discovery mode because this is my first plant effects, since I make music, so it is all new to me!

    Pros: ergonomics, simplicity (4 pedals, it is enough), its size

    Cons: The lack of AC adapter for purchase, and carrying case!
