Published on 12/29/01 at 15:00Mail order, about £70. I needed to do some experimenting so i thought that a multi effect unit would be the way to go.
The sounds are great. You can create some outrageous sounds, utterly brilliant noises! The unit is unbelievably easy to use, the manual is pretty sh*t tho, just flick about yourself and you'll find yourself working the unit within 5 minutes. the pedal also makes my amp sound a hell of alot louder. Also the option to bypass the pedal, good for a strong, basic sounding verse, then hit the pedal and kick in to a crazy, loud solo.
The construction seems really weak. I've not gigged with it yet, but i dont think the unit could take much hard handling. The distortions are all quite similar, but you can over come that by mixing them with other FX. If you wanted to use alot of different FX in concert that could be a problem, the selection is quite difficult to get used if using many patches.
12 distortions, contour, reverbs, delays and echo, compression, wah, flanger and a hell of alot more. Easy to use, but looks quite flimsy.
A great unit. Fantastic purchase. Excellent sounds. Yeah, that sums it up.
