Purchased new at Guitar Center in Webster Texas as a way to play with effects processing and drum machine. I think It was $49.00 on sale. The unit seems to be fairly well built, and has lots of effects that can be set with it. The effects that it does produce sound pretty good. The display is nice and bright. The pedal feel is nice and solid, and switching between modes is good and noticeable. Plenty. It drops your input volumes to your amp dramatically, the selections are difficult to make, and drum patterns are extremely limited. The users manual is downright confusing. This thing is flat out hard to use. It seems to be put together fairly decently. Unless you are patient with learning this unit, save your bucks. This thing stinks as far as learning how it works goes. Like I said, the sound it makes is pretty good, but you get robbed on volume, and you have to work too hard to get it to do anything useful. Perhaps the volume thing is a setting, I can't be sure... This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com
Bought this at local music store for $350 canadian -Good Value -Easy to Use -Highly Customizable -Durable -Built in tuner -Built in rythym training drum machine -A considarable amount of hiss can be heard when you're not playing anything, but this can easily be fixed by putting the pedal in an effects loop, or using the built in noise gate -Well Made, good quality construction Overall I think This Is a good buy, Much cheaper than buying separate stompboxes and effects. Check out the Digitech site to find out all of the features. If you dont really want the expression pedal I would suggest just buying the bp 50 This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com
