Gasworks!

The Boss Roland (pti Thurs dword) had to look too picols or delusions of grandeur but too many effects killing effects.
It's been a bit "is still dla place? We go hands"
the spirit of the machine is more quantity than quality

UTILIZATION

First of the baby seems complex, but after a few hours of practice (with the manual under the nose to the passage is rather convincing) we understand the operation of the machine. If we want the config is simple asser intuitive. on the other hand if we start to want him sticking effects in all directions there will have to be patient. It has great possibilities but you have to spend hours there is less familiar with the effects and how to place them and how to address them.
Product for bidoulleurs, plug'n'players go your way!

SOUND QUALITY

Regarding the effects, if one takes the trouble to settle those are convincing, for if the scales against bulk bah there is soon a beautiful mess!
Personal jsuis convinced of all the effects like delay, chorus, phaser, flanger ... the distos are too impersonal for my taste, they are difféerentes and at the same time are similar, the color is the same, jsuis less convinced. When the amp simulations, there bah It all depends on the use you make of it and the qualifier of "simulation" is not for nothing; to the recording studio is not bad (with good basis of his you can get something correct, I test with a pod I was disgusted m'enfin tastes and colors ...).
Personal j'lutilisai repeating and paronychia is not to have an amp STAP and which saves space and upgrade its bah pretty happy, although he transcribed the personality of the guitar (not as it could of **** pod or you got the same sound if you plug a telecaster squier or!). satisfied on that point.
As against the use with an amp, there is the deception, that you pete relationship that may exist between your guitar and your amp, it's frustrating! With an amp from sticking to the system of the track (I test with my telecaster 78-F30 on a mesa, marshall TSL100, fender hot rod, and an Ashdown head, the disappointment every time while its plugged in live is so enjoy!)
Basically not live with this creature as you do not find the ideal configuration to the risk of feedback that you understand why they are there and sounds pouraves

OVERALL OPINION

I buy there 1 year and a half because I needed all kinds of effects and I had more imperatively amp so it was almost the ideal solution. Anyway he gave me great help. Jme lugging a zoom707II before the change was so radical as you can imagine. It is Assé robust, we mean that a 100kg guy will put his own before the damage (I have a pti glitch with mine with the volume knob general ass who has no guts, he by the garage>>> We regret a bag.)
Given the current market products, jpense it is good value for money.

If I Devaya again the choice of a multi effects in its class I will opt instead for the ToneLab SE, but I do not regret my choice
