«  Very disappointed »

Nothing to add from the other reviews. I used a Laney tube only. It is a visually pedal still pretty bad compared to recent Line 6, Fender or Vox ... It's been a little toy for teenagers ... It lacks subtlety in design.
Having a row of programmed sounds and a second row of effects is a good idea that allows varied panel quickly enough to reach.

UTILIZATION

I found that adjusting the sound was not so obvious. It's a little gas plant ... For example to set the parameters of distortion (severe acute etc ...).

SOUND QUALITY

I played with this pedal with half a crate ibanez and a Gibson Les Paul. Crunch and clean sounds are very good, as base effects (chorus, tremolo, delay ...). The whammy was also very good.
However I found the overdrive sounds very poor. I am not come to something drinkable. Ditto for wha-wha, plus the expression pedal lack of flexibility ... The acoustic sound is not fabulous either ... but hey, apart Godin equipped with Piezo, nothing beats a real acoustic.
The distortion are too loud or too warm and cozy ...
Compared to my Vox Tonelab Se, there is no photo I much prefer the Vox!

OVERALL OPINION

I kept it a month and I sold it. The distos did not suit me at all. Very disappointed with this purchase.
