It contains 6 multi-effects bass modlisations amp, fuzz, distortion, octave, chorus, flanger, delay, qualiseur 4-band, noise gate. All in a box barely bigger than a laptop softphone.
An entry for the bass, an auxiliary input for CD or bote rate, headphone or amplifier, uses 4 AAA batteries or power supply 9volts.
can record phrases of 8 or 16 seconds from the instrument or in between, contains a box with 50 preset rytme. This device is also acts as a tuner.
The paramtrage of all is quite simple and does not pose any particular problem.
UTILIZATION
There are 50 programs that one can not change programs and 50 user-editable.
Each program contains a chain of seven effects that you can edit and which contain only one parameter.
Dyna <-> Amp <-> Equ <-> Mod <-> Delay <-> NR <-> Level
For each of the seven modules you can select only one effect
Dyna: Contains distortion, compressor and octave.
Amp: contains 6 amp simulations
Equ: qualiseur 4 bands
Mod: includes chorus, flanger, tremolo, autowah, phaser, pitch shifter.
Delay: contains the delay (up to 2 seconds) and reverb.
NR: Noise rduction
The manual is well explained but it goes fast enough, because the edition is fairly simple.
SOUND QUALITY
The effects are of good quality but it's not the quality of a POD. I use a Yamaha bass and a hard hat, or sometimes a Fender amp frontman 25B (directly on the output of the effects loop).
If one wants to CRER sound, there are many possibilities.
Note that I test a guitar that can be easily CRER INTERESTED few presets for guitar.
For the box rhythms can not be rgler the tempo and level of output, I found the 50 presets n'taient not extraordinary.
The tuner is against by trs prcis and stable, we may as well give a guitar a bass.

OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a week, I bought used for about 80 euros.
This type of product is excellent for what is asked for work at home with headphones, with possibly a rhythm box, or CD. Please note bass canceling function that allows to cancel the bass on the CD and play it up, I did not test.
The effect of scne or repeating? why not, but the product is lightweight and will require careful not to drop it, plus it's no pedals, and I do not see how a rglage between 2 pieces the buttons are too small for that.
For me the box features rhythm and phrase trainer can have only of interest, but it is a personal opinion. The Phrase Trainer slows down the speed of the sentence without loss of tonality to the dchiffrage.
I did not test the PX4B, but with the sheet doc, I can say it offers the same features as the PX3B with a ten amp models, a synthesizer, simulations loudspeaker, a box 100 with more sophisticated rhythm pattern and the possibility to chain up to 8 patterns, the simulationde fretless, the equalizer by potentiomtres accessible, and the IR connection for headphones.
The PX3 is really useful for working without trs Dranger person he replaced by the t PX4B brings new features, but still a bit expensive my taste (nine 240 euros).
