UTILIZATION

Advisories Newbie multi-effects: this pedal is complicated to take control. Already being jargon, it took me months. Then there 's so many possibilities that was quick to do anything, faith ex-Newbie.

Heavy to lug around, you have to manage a suitcase or wheel system as light and practical.

SOUND QUALITY

The reverb is not great, the magnitude of change is quite small I find it is not a stereo reverb pedal we can Chopper apart.
The delay is good, despite the fact that we can not resolve anything you want. for example by panning effect, the volume of delays or equalization is not possible, it's a shame ...
Simulations of distortion and preamp are varied, and one can find pure sounds. In my case c'set the guitar which is rotten and that keeps me from having a good sound. The default is that you spend time to find his sound, personal in several years because of a rotten guitar, I found no sound that suited me, far away.
FX2 bank is interesting but limited in customization, it was frustrating for me tree ... Slicer limited to a few POV 'patterns, which starts in autoriff testicle (riff altered since it recognizes a harmonic of the note played at Instead of the note itself, super ... perhaps have it like that on all els autoriffs shall we say), pedal bend useful to simulate electro bass sounds (the EQ is needed behind anyway). ..

You can not link some effects, this is one of the biggest flaws in my opinion. What a ridiculous idea to put two banks with different effects effects not treated, pfff ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 years.
I like his strength, but the pedal is quite heavy. Its interface and its system of switch is very convenient for the stage, however, certain combinations are impossible, it's very frustrating.
I have not tried other multi, only single pedals.
The price today is super affordable, it decreased by 400% or something like that ... Part of what it offers, to OCCAZ not a bad choice, but not necessarily the best either, it depends what you search.

With experience I will ever not have that choice, a pod for distos, worst of simple effects pedals that I'm adding ... However, my gt-6 is fine for Mao, it's just when I have to lug it bothers me.
