Multi-purpose digital pocket. Drives (guitar + bass), compressor, phaser (s), flanger (s), chorus, echo, reverb, cabsim, noise gate, auto-wah (s), harmonizer (s), slow-attack, sitar, 12 string , ring modulator, shifter, octave + some strange effects which I do not know what to do (self ?!?). feedback

In addition, presets, battery pre-recorded accompaniment, and music loops to string together as her inspiration (not tried).
Instrument input, mp3, headphone / amp and USB

UTILIZATION

Use very simple play mode. I adapted the presets to my guitar, remembering to set the headphone output (important, otherwise, his poor).
It's about the size of a subway map, it fits in a pocket and it has a huge selection of sounds and customizable enough. Provide a set of rechargeable batteries (2xAA) and especially a headphone correctly. The effects are only setting the intensity dial by rotating. One could say that it is little, but it gives a good result without headache. Pre-recorded accompaniments enable training, especially as it can speed up or slow down the tempo. For use looper on the other hand, not happy. Difficult without the pedal, and I can not find it. Thereupon, Korg is pathetic (-1 point paff!). I found the pedals Leadfoot Thomann, bathes it, but it is limited (replicated his poor, small memory).

SOUND QUALITY

Sounds very good clean, correct saturation.
The effects-based ring modulator useless (it only to make noise.
The phaser / flanger / chorus / auto-wahs not bad. A nice but rocky crusher to handle with care. Some presets downright horrible, just good to get casts, I've replaced (not plaster). Other refined. Autowhas a bit sensitive.
Some emulations bass not sound bad on guitar.
But, I repeat, all that fits in your pocket.
And I re-repeat, we must touch settings comrades, and especially read the manual (just average).


OVERALL OPINION

Bought it 10 days ago.
I already have a ZOOM G7, and I can do pretty much what I want, the possibilities are virtually endless, but it's big, somewhat complicated to solve, it becomes almost an art.
I had a Line6 Looper, who was not hurt, but also cumbersome, and with much less varied effects, and half had rained.
But the new guy I carry around (the lack of pocket scratching).
I still have the problem of editing on computer. Problems with drivers, a problem with the CD unreadable, and I still do not understand how the editor (I have to bump it pffff!). Still no way to edit on computer. Pb win7?
