Purchased OCCAZ 700 euros there are about 8 years.
Compression, wah, pedal volume, amp type, equalization, gate, pitch, delay, reverb, speaker simulator brief (too) many effects, all in a very solid metal case. Switches (switches) plastic weakened over time. S / PDIF digital and headphone. Tube technology.

UTILIZATION

It's because that hurts the bottom navigation is "old school", he must love to walk on with only 11 columns of buttons left-right-up-down to fix everything. So it takes a long time before choosing his own sound and know the dinosaur (and yes I call it an old dinosaur now obsolete because it has outlived its usefulness). Very ergonomic.

I acquired the French manual on the web that was not supplied.

SOUND QUALITY

I played 8 years with over a fender strato and a U.S. marshall JCM 2000. The effects are effective, but still very colorful. The parameters are very difficult to adjust when several active effect because the volumes of each effect often leads to clip the signal and the sound is very unpleasant digital distortion.

Another thing not true bypass, ineligible for a pedal this price range. I did not recognize my guitar when I turn off the pedal. A pedal

OVERALL OPINION

me several years simply because once purchased, I would not sell it to buy another in the same range (not the budget for better). You still have to add that it was "good" for the time.

Also with time, switch plastic they let him go one after the other and the volume pedal / wah gradually dysfunctions.

Now that the savings are waiting for you I chose to make a pedalboard and I am very happy with all my pedals (see my profile).
At the time I tried to crank boss, zoom, I thought it would raise the Digitech but actually I was pretty disappointed. I do not know if they improved their current cranks.

In short nothing better than analog pedals ... or a good pedal but with the price that goes with it. Obviously I do not recommend it as obsolete and not ergonomic.
