Multi-format rack fx 19'1U
Analogue plus two treatments DSP
Full connectivity to the old analog. Without going into details saying that the concept is to have two groups of effects. A first amplifier guitar / bass and one in the effects loop. There are seven power effects that can be placed in any order.
An effect block 1
2 Effect Block 2
3 chorus / flanger
4 reverb
5 delay
6 gain (which always precedes the output to the amp)
7 equalizer
It is also possible to use one (amp simulator and headphone)
MIDI to change programs, change the value of a parameter (ie ratio of a compressor), pass a by-effect.
Effects: if not full all that is most used by today's guitarists. Note:
Presence of a guitar preamp that can serve as a "tone control" before a neutral pre-amp, volume boost to force saturation.
So full, we regret the lack of digital input / output spdif (but old enough already produced, which explains this)
UTILIZATION
The use is not very easy, but it is mainly due to the large number of parameters, the change they are still audible, their presence is not futile.
Nevertheless it is true that the user interface is complicated. Also the manual is not clear all the settings, as if he was speaking only used Lexicon.
The big worry to me is the modification of parameters in real time, see a more comprehensive use live. Time program change is very long so can not change the program in full song (not the case of g-major). So if you want to change the sound you have to go not a "parameter changes" that can be in almost everything, but there are only four available through the program and it too can!
In short, I will not use it live because of the price of the beast, and because I find it too creepy ALL should be made in advance, a change in the last minute stress me to death!
SOUND QUALITY
Absolutely blowing
Strengths: A true whawha, Picht specific best whammy, the reverb bluffing!!
Weaknesses: None! simply awesome
OVERALL OPINION
I've had three months.
Try to adopt it, but at ease. To compare with what I know I would say it is expensive harder to use live, but what's, what precision!
For my part I bought used € 550, the price / quality ratio is very good
This is clearly a revelation to me after the VOX AC30 sound and the centerpiece of my rack
