UTILIZATION

The config for multi nophyte / bass effect (what j'tais) is defined completely in less than 4 hours. The edition of the sounds is pretty simple though to be prcis flaw in the quality he spend a lot of time and above all ... in with the doc, because in fact, the three buttons r tings are so multi-function it is difficult to know prcisement and memory, which does what exactly.
But we found it fairly quickly thanks to the manual, which for me is not Portuguese, but the choice in boiboite, French, English, Deutschland, Spanish, Italian, Japanese (for me it's Chinese fawn all ...)

SOUND QUALITY

Regarding effects, I t surprised by the amount dj then the quality of some mdiocrit and finally by a minor:
-Compressor: fast pumping sensation. rapidly reduces the dynamics of the game and what a sweet rglage (less than half. So the nuances, one quickly forgets what is harmful. prfre I do not use it much better no.
-The effect defret I possde frettless and a bass, which is no comparison with any such effect. I am not at all objective. I find it totally the street ...
-Drive/synt: A bit like the effect defret for the amp, nothing really replaces and quickly narrow the range. That said, they are really set apart from the two honntes bassynth I find too''distortion''and mono synth that does not always DTECT the height of the signal and then eats the notes of al fawn atoire ...
-ZNR/MIX: Trs useful rduire noise between tracks or play poorly rgl attnuer effect, however it acts like a gate with several powerful remedy. So if we do not lend guard, a round binds slow tempo will not be a round for all the links will sustain bloated with twice fawn heard!
-The eq is not very practical but effective and directly related or not with the effects. apprciable but from time to consquence.

As for all other effects (auto wah, auto resonance filter, octave, tremolo, phaser, ring modulator, pedal wah, chorus, stereo chorus, flanger, pitch pedal, vibrato, step, delay-of-base, type echo, pitch shifter, Harmonized, fuzz, overdrive ...), it's great and always honnte complt with the expression pedals. Enough to make an mga palette of sounds that please ...
But as I said above, this is my first multi effects bass. So ...

OVERALL OPINION

has been a week since I tried at home and repeating.
Live I do not know yet what has given especially for the bypass or both buttons must be pressed at the same time. I also find that the pedals is a bit lgre, it lacks the horses ...
Otherwise, from what's inside + the tuner and drum machine, the price is plutt welcoming. It was for that I will keep it even if I really like not the compressor.
Any pedals is fast at half the price of the zoom which is nice and seems more solid (we will see over time)
