Value For Money :
Excellent
This is a multi effects and amp simulator as pdalier. At first the hardware seems solid, this impression is reinforced by the fact that the frame is metal. However, I have a doubt about the Longva CONTRL of rotary ... see in time. The effect is intgralit ditable, either directly by the rotary CONTRL or via a PC with a MIDI interface (injury time of the USB ...).
The connection is part complte trs. For input, not of Mystras, the guitar input jack is 6.35 l! For outputs, there are a pair of Stereo jack 6.35, an I / O to use the pdalier in an effects loop (plutt nice) and to output S / P DIF (saw for the home studio). Petit point ngatif, running the pedals of expression is a bit tight, especially for the wah-wah that cuts the lack of finesse. Too bad ...
UTILIZATION
It only took me 10 minutes to learn to use the main functions and achieve CRER first 3 sounds. The arrangement of CONTRL on the work surface is clear enough and the interface is strengthened by a notch prsence rtro clear in addition to the LED display (2 positions) standard and the fact that the rotary CONTRL-rtro are also clear. It's simple, when you select a program corresponding to the CONTRL DIFFERENT rglages light. When you change one of these via a rglages CONTRL, it flashes. It parat clear that this pdalier Korg directs much for live sessions during which the lighting conditions are trs diffrent a home studio. Well done!
The manual is clear and remains essential for the use of certain functions (arpgiateur, etc).
SOUND QUALITY
In Manir gnrale, all the effects are good trs. I reu this morning and after 6 hours of heavy use I can say that only 2 or 3 effects are to throw away.
At the simulation amp and speakers, I plutt t surprised by the enjoyable quality of sound achieved. I expected the contrary plutt so used to the sounds of POD ... But in fact the pdalier trs is doing well. Attention, let's be clear, this is amp simulation. If you want the sound of the Dual Rectifier or VH4, go buy them! The simus I prfre this pdalier are mtal distortion, and the shred shop. The simulations diffrent firms are also trs effective and influential on the sound REALLY gnral.
Personally, I do not understand the opinion in which it is said that the sounds are bad. Before you say it, the author could prciser hardware on which it test the machine. Ok, we know that the amp is a Randall (lamps or transistors?). But what guitar he uses? Come up with any microphone? What MODEL headphone? The apprciate that was a hardware dpend often circumstances in which it is used ...
Personally, I play with this pdalier Z6 Cort up with EMG (bridge 81 / sleeve 60), Dean Markley strings 10-46. Stereo pair of passes in a Korg Behringer RX1602 (16-channel rack consoles) whose outputs are connected master a Lexicon Alpha for recording on pc. For monitoring, the signal is sent to a Behringer A500 (power amp neutral) of religious truth 2031P. Whether recording or monitoring, the sound is clean and trs breath is absent, except of course if I Sets the sensitivity of the compressor back the balloons!
In terms of effects, all trs is good, apart from the auto wah and Filtron (What is this stuff). The quality rverbs are like chorus and delays. In addition, each as fully ditable, even if the factory programmed not only flat there are ways to rectify the situation.
Mention specially for arpgiateur. Also using the synths (and SH201 AN1X for those who know), I found that plutt nice to have such a function on a guitar! Of use in a composite, there is not that I would cross can not be ...
OVERALL OPINION
So I reu this morning and had the opportunity to test it thoroughly.
Its strong points are:
- Robust manufacturing (except rotary CONTRL ...?)
- Clarity of the edition sounds / presets
- Trs good quality of all the effects and simulations
Weaknesses:
- Short stroke of the pedals of expression
- Some effects (auto-wah and filter)
I use also in a pocket POD parallle and finally, I m'aperoit that simulations of red beans are not unbeatable!
The report price is good quality and certainly in line with competitors.
Given the good surprises of the craft and the price actually quite weak, I do it again this choice.
