Possible effects:
Input => (compression) + (Chorus / Flanger / Phazer / Rotary / Tremolo) + (Delay / TapeEcho) + (Reverb: Spring / Hall / Plate) => Output

Input, amp simulator (preamp): Clean 1 / 2, Crunch 1 / 2, Drive 1 / 2 Lead and 1 / 2
In Output, HP simulator: From 1x12 to 4x12 with modern types / English, etc ...

Editable Via Midi, can add an expression pedal.

UTILIZATION

The configuration requires a minimum of reading the manual, but nothing really off-putting.
The settings are ergonomic, you rule and we play together, and then record when it suits us.
The manual is simplistic, and that's good.
We can really concentrate on the sound rather than the use of the device.

SOUND QUALITY

Personally, I use it mainly for the effects chorus, tremolo and delay. I turned off the preamp, and simulation of HP for maximum transparency, but we feel it is still, the sound seems slightly flattened, but nothing dramatic!
The refinished is good for my taste, I use it instead of reverb on my amp, so it's okay!
I tried to connect the input preamp and insert effect, the second solution I used, the effects are better applied.
Note that I used with a Peavey Classic 30 amp with a Fender Start Deluxe US.
First, there is little wind or not at all! (Important to my ears)
The compressor is inefficient (at least in my configuration).
I tried the preamp, but we feel that there is no lamp in the honky-tonk! The light is not too bad, though highly colored and distos sound too "Bzzzzzzzz" for my taste. I use the peavey distortion, which is much better.
I have not tried to exploit it to the recording studio, but apparently the headphone, the simulator HPs plays its part.
The effects are well made, even the tremolo, which, however, criticized, I think do a good job if not to pair it with the reverb (or very little)!
The delay is perfect for me and tap tempo can be used without worry.

Only the selection at the bottom is a bit tedious to switch to another group (group 3).

OVERALL OPINION

For about ten days.
I regret the compressor ineffective, I will have to add a boost pedal input, other than that, as I only use a few effects, it served its purpose and is suitable for my use.
I also like that robust design, perceived quality is very good, the knobs inspire confidence, only the selection buttons Effes are a bit "cheap", and one wonders how long they will take ...

I had previously multi-effects "low end": Korg A5 Zoom 505, which generate the breath, with little effect, slightly adjustable, cheap buttons imprecise or let go en route.
With the DG-Stomp is still going on in the superior court at all levels!

Is used between 150 and 170 € is a good investment, but I do not buy it new at over € 300.

I think I would do this election if I have no problem with (if the buttons "cheap" are ultimately strong enough!)
