UTILIZATION

The grip is not easy. It is better to read the 100 pages of the manual (in English!) Before emptying the bte. Apparently, a French version ( ) To travel on the forum ...
Do not worry, the manual is very well done!

Digitech philosophy is: You must imagine a bunch of pedals, lots of cable to connect them. You will then have two modes of shipping:
- The first that connects the pedals together your convenience, eg a time limit Stereo, released a self wha right and left in a flanger and then sent it all in a rverbe ...
- The deuxime which allows for the rglages effects, eg choose the length and the feedback time limit.
The grip is long enough, but when mastery, you can really do anything with!
And becomes more complicated when you possdez version "artist" with dual DSP!

SOUND QUALITY

I test the multi-effect in two configs:
Ibanez S prestige -> GSP 2101 -> Mosfet 60w Stereo Amp -> Marshall 1960A
Ibanez S prestige -> GSP 2101 -> Tage power TT50H Laney -> Marshall 1960A

Prampli for analog
It includes a compressor, a distortion (A choose from six types: 3transistors/3tubes), a 6-band graphic EQ and a noise gate. This chaining is fixed!

The compressor operation is very simple and very effective.

For distos:
The disto Clean Tube, is actually a pramp for clean sounds. It adds a light color, with a warmer and slightly compressed. But also with most mediums.
The disto Tube Overdrive gives a fairly disto lamps grazed, very serious, with low SETTING THE gain, we have a good crunch a little runny, pushing a little more sound you get enough fat and vintage.
The disto Distorted Tube is a step up from the previous ones. It has a grain srr more and more modern, but if you want to make mtal is a bit lightweight.
The distortion is a kind of grunge with Fuzz nromment gain. The sound is unfortunately not trs "big", and it takes out a battery of Eq to get the best. That said, with rglages of Eq xtrmes enough, we can also draw interressants sounds ...
The distortion overdrive, proposes a slight boost the signal. The grain of this distortion is interresting to sound "Pink Floyd" a little crunch / Blues.
And disto dernire I remember the name and I never use Russi ...

The 6-band EQ is doing its job. But I have often put enuite of Eq 10 or 15 bands (with mulieffet to obtain rglages finer).
The noise gate is great Lorqui mairtiser it comes to custom settings ...

In Manir gnrale the distos not prcises trs. The grain is interresting but trs "hard rock", but when playing in agreements, is a draft. (Should I try with other lamps may be too)

For the multi-effect:
The effects are all good quality trs trs gnre little noise. I have AIM Eq 10 and 15 bands, the reverb (a little overwhelming if it is not gaffe in output, but so beautiful !!!), self-wha, the whammy, the chorus 4 ways!.
Less well: phasers that sound really weird. Before I had a Boss GX700 with rgalges of phasers and sound are dmentiels, I'm kind of not finding aii.
The not good at all: the whah wha ... Yeah, you have your APRS cbler of the distos ... And besides she is really trslgre!
Assets: When the version "artist", we can make the "morphing" change of patches: the patch is replaced by the patch gradually demand. Or the patch continues to run until some time when you change patch. Gnial when you dlais full of sounds: the dlais continue for some time when you changed the ...

OVERALL OPINION

I've had almost a year. Qualitprix level, you can find between 350 (I got mine for 360 on Ebay) and 500. With this quality of his is an excellent quality price!
