Everything is pretty much say above, it is a digital effects pedal for guitar, there's about all the guitar effects on it ...

UTILIZATION

I've never read the manual, not that I do not read ^ ^, but because-as I usually do like that, discover and launch myself.
It's pretty simple let's say I put a little time before having any all-inclusive settings. But after I understood: what was the setting and as such adjustment (this is the volume of this, that and the settings of the tones of it ...), everything becomes instinctive.
The thing that I put as much time to find and the bypass!
The latter, which simply snaps-made: by pressing both buttons simultaneously ...

SOUND QUALITY

Where to start ....

The effects of delay and reverb are very good!
I'm no fan of DeLay, but is excellent on the G2.
Reverb me a lot more. There is the natural setting of the volume reverberation, tone, and what I call the "intensity" of the Rever. SA to find perfect reverb.
Note that according to the effect there are different reverb, some which can be very fun for grand.Intéressant to act as if we were playing in a huge room, so we have a small room. ^ ^
The Chorus is very good too, there is settings like on a real chorus pedal, very good.

Distortions for the interesting and you can get a good range of different sound, for example: a small Overdrive, then, right next to a boosted overdrive and distortion Rock, then a typed Metal and Disto strong distortion boosted to simplify life on a solo speed ...

But the problem with this is that distortion pedal you ever happen to a completely satisfying its reach to say that we would have "his favorite." There is always a perceived lack somewhere, lack of body, a small lack of natural, where a small presence on the acid sound that would make it disappear.
Otherwise than that, we are far from being in the poor quality is well above the average high, "is making sounds that sounds to sound his guitar" is entirely feasible with this small photo G2.

The clean sounds are very good although it can "beautify" its clear sound with some effects (reverb and chorus flat, which I do).
I think with all effects set to off as it sounds Bypass.

The gate is very effective, really nickel, perfect to remove the unwanted noise, where a little hard to adjust quickly to stop its sound, or completely stop on the sustain (like Noise gate to 15/16).

There is a simulator firm that is correct, it is convenient to have it on hand for the distortions in the G2 sounds ringing on the sound system when we could not help but tap into it.

I could use it with different guitars and different amps.
Strangely where he sounded the best in me is a little Vox Pathfinder 15watts (Very good small transistor amps by the way) on a Tube Amp 30watts upscale, or 100 watt high-end 4x12.

OVERALL OPINION

This is the only multi-effect guitar that I really used, I've had 3 years.
I would say that it's a great little trick to have a backup, or a great little trick for those who want to make the guitar with a good multi-purpose.

Trivia: For a concert where I was supposed to be moments guitarist and drummer at times (I had to bring my drum hardware in addition to guitar), I get (cause: in the car) just my guitar and G2 I had this little set in advance (Simulation Office) as to be connected directly to the PA. Metal was a concert and it went well, it sounded (admittedly with a very refined setting) pretty well as it should. :)

I would do this choice, for the price, as stated several top: a nice little Swiss Army knife!
