Effects classs into three types: heavy distortion (overdrive, blues, distortion, mtal, fuzz, compression), stains (chorus, tremolo, flanger, ...) and delays (delay and r verb). Case mtal trs solid and compact. PDAL volume / wah of good quality. Intgr a tuner that allows as many of pedals to get in bypass. Predict transformer included (why I was 9 / 10)

UTILIZATION

We start with a neutral sound by putting all the knobs 25 (on a scale of 0 50). Then we add what you want by combining the effects. The possibilities are endless. It can record sounds into 10 banks of three notes each. The nice thing is that you can add on each of the wah sound by pressing the volume pedals forward.
The sounds of factories in the state are inutitisables because they are not heels in volume (hello ears the first time you press the pedals of a mtal).
Impractical: to move from one bank to another it must be down and press the buttons up or down (it can be done at the bottom but through three difficult manipulations in concert. Manir Of all three sounds in a piece is sufficient in 99% of cases.
To bypass it to press the pedals simultanment 1 and 2. It is good with a little practice but beware of wide shoes that are the same thing when you just want a change (VCU my last concert, I find myself in clean instead of a distortion )
For my part I organized sounds as follows:
Bank March 1
In each bank the first sound is neutral which allows me to have the sound of my amp without dnatur. The following two sounds I use brown (chorus, delay, tremolo ,...). I use these three banks in combination with the three channels of my amp (clean, drive, more drive) via the footswitch the amp here so it takes precedence.
Bank 4 and Bank 8:
Buffer zones that allow me to make combinations for some special pieces.
Bank May 7
In each bank the first sound is neutral and the other two are the big crunch of distortion. I use these three banks on the clean channel of my amp and pedals, which is the premium. These banks also serve me if I sound plugs (an amp that has come loose live ...)
9 Bank and Bank 10:
Backup area of ​​my sounds prfrs

SOUND QUALITY

I play PRS SE and Fender Hot Rod Deluxe with limits SERIES HP vintage 30.
The colors (well I call this a Manir) trs well
The delays: nickel
The distorted sounds: a bit messy for some but overall still a honnte for a multi-effects and big sound are my priori.
I had two korg before and I find overall sound warmer, softer, less slamming.

OVERALL OPINION

So I use the pedals to a large majority in color rear plan sounds original couple of my amp / guitar with this in mind it is perfect for me (before I had a Korg AX3000G with which I took myself cabbage and with modlisations passed amp sounds original stuff). The price is right trs.
I therefore advise those who privilgient their amp / hp technology numriques of accumulation. Otherwise it is better to enter higher (much higher) to the Tonelab for example.
I wanted a simple pedals that is just an add my set and I found, so with the exprience, I would do this choice.
