Small bass multi-effects with expression pedal. All known effects are available, including the octave, all the effects delay-chorus-flanger, reverb, and overdrive distos, synth bass, fretless, enhencer compressor.

Modeling Amps (Fender, Hartke, Bassman etc.).

Combinations and stuff.

Works with or without SmartMedia card to store your patches.
Infinite possibilities, which ...

I edit: this stuff is very fragile, plastic, mine is already HS (6 months)

UTILIZATION

The config is not easy but I'm not addicted to new technology, so the sound editing is not very intuitive.

But once you understand the trick, nickel.

The manual is helpful but we will sail in to the references to a particular page and it's painful. The chapters are not clearly organized.

The fragility of the thing should use the book to "repeat" or domestic. Absolutely not suited to the concert! Too fragile!

SOUND QUALITY

Effects very effective, apart bass synths that I do not like. The effects of the usual bass players make good on the other hand. (Chorus, overdrive, octave) can change with three buttons.

The pedal travel is short but is assignable multi mode (control of reverb, the voulme, gain, wah.

Super nice to change the sound of his amp through the amps. If you play like me "a little bit of everything", that's fine.

OVERALL OPINION

I like its low price (110 € in new promo) and all have on hand without connection delusional.
It sounds worse than Boss pedals but good 5: € € € € € € € € €

Downside: it's all plastic.

I am using only 3 or 4 effects (chorus, compressor, fretless bass, octave), but when you're alone in your house like the stuff you make synth bass-playing stuff that you would not have thought (I mean for me).

I use this with a Peavey TKO 115S Peavey and Zephyr. This is great if you're not Marcus, Steve and Jaco.

Make this choice if you are new and, ultimately you will discover what effects you use and later opt for the pedals for you.

I does not change, once tamed the manual is extremely simple and effective. Everything is there.
