All user reviews of 4/5 for the Korg A5

- Multi effects pedalboard including compression/exciter, 3-band EQ, flanger/chorus, reverb/delay, noise reduction.

- Effects can be shaped at will, with different, but classic, settings for each effect: volume, depth, rate, attack, delay, duration, etc.

- Sounds can be edited, they are very easy to create and recall once saved. no possibility to export to pc/mac.

- Connections: Input, output (stereo or mono), volume, headphone and, obviously, mains.

USE

You'll get rapidly used to it.

You play, listen to the effects used, modify the speed of the chorus, add a bit of compression, boost the highs a bit, and record. Simple as that.
You can save 30 recordings.

I don't have the user's manual because I bought it secondhand.

SOUND QUALITY

- Very effective effects, I always find something that matches what I have in my head.

- I use it with guitars (fender tele us, semi-hollow ibanez, acoustic-electric), but also with a bass (fender precision) and vocals.

- If you tweak the settings to extremes you can get weird effects that resemble drops of water, a helicopter, etc.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for at least 4 or 5 years.
Someone offered it to me secondhand, I had never heard it before, but it's perfect for me.

It's undoubtedly a bit outdated, but I think it's a good value for money.

USE

It's very easy to use...The problem live is that it works with 5-preset banks. That certainly isn't its most practical side, but you can make do with some experience.
Editing sounds is pretty easy, once you've understood how it works. But it's not very intuitive.

SOUND QUALITY

I use it with my guitar, but I can also connect it to a PC. Sounds are a bit outdated, but they remain useful with a good amp or preamp.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for 14 years!!! Which says a lot about its sturdiness. Back then it wasn't cheap, it was a high-quality product. The reason I say that is because it's easy to get one secondhand and it's all right to start out. I still use it.
