«  a good multi-effects that troubleshoots well! »

we have all the classic effects, Delay, loadings, flanger, chorus, reverb, wah-wah + all others (Harmonists, compressor, defretter, phaser, pitch shifter .... and others ...).
can create up to 340 possible combinations.
there are 35 banks users (where you save its settings) and 49 preset banks.
not a rackmount model.
technology is digital, connectivity is both audio (for the amp is wired) and noon (for the pilot?).

UTILIZATION

For my part, I have not found a simple a priori, he must still spend time to understand how it works (especially the creation of presets), once the main achievement, we go merrily!
I read the manual, I think it is very logical and a bit messy, I personally would not have write like that!
editing and sound effects is easy from the moment you pass the time necessary to learn how to grasp the pedals.

SOUND QUALITY

effects are effective and well-realistic, I think including phaser that I liked.
but we must spend time to understand how this pedal, I personally prefer the BOSS pedal format and are easier to understand and gives a sound effective more quickly.
I plug my good old Ibanez RG in!
I liked the sound of the phaser, flanger, delay, reverb, sounds clear, sound fender.
I found the overdrive did not fall backwards!

OVERALL OPINION

I bought 5 months ago.
I was previously the line6 pod X3 live and it's not the same sounds and not even how to manage the effects and the line6 sounds flat next to the BOSS.
I love the most, the color of the pedals, sounds clear slap fender, phaser, in its effects loop, a certain ease of use once mastered the beast, the robustness of the pedals, the colors on screen controls (on the line6, it is monochrome).
I like the least, the weight (although heavier than the line6!), the overdrive should know ... set
For me, the price / quality ratio is indisputable, and I find it excellent!
with experience, I will turn to something else or a combination rack power amp + preamp + FX and all the tube in a flight case for easy transport, or consisting essentially of a foot pedal analog or try the Vox ToneLab, TC Electronic G-system or innovative system, and finally all but this pedal!
