It is a compact digital multiFX totally not connect at all except for his fingers. It was just one amp output / headphones, a plug in to control an external footswitch (bypass / mute for example), the entry for grata or another, and 9V. (Transformer not included elsewhere).

We regret the merger of the headphones and amp. It also lacks the MIDI. Without going to the USB (that version has G2.1u), it would have been a bit of a automation sequencer PC.

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration. It is true that the interface is not bad. However, the display could display more than one character for readability. It is often necessary to look at the knobs to see where we are if it is interrupted for a setting.
Apart from that, the settings are fairly simple and there are many possibilities without being infinite. Can be obtained quickly via various sounds somewhat complicated settings.

The manual? I do not know, it's part of the things I accidentally threw the plastic bag with ...

SOUND QUALITY

Digital multi-effect first prize. Bon bah it speaks volumes about the quality of sound you expect to get. And yet, although it is far from what can be achieved with "good" stuff, you can get nice sounds. The distos not satisfy the purists, of course, but it's not bad. With an entry level guitar, it's great. on the other hand, a good guitar is a waste.
The bypass is safe although it loses the level and dynamics. But hey, at that price, not bad anyway.
The only regret is a side too metallizing effects. Very valuable for certain types, much less for others.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this multi effect for 1 year now. I bought it to replace a Korg AX1500G I particularly hated. The G2 is as a multi purpose driven modern sound. No need to use something else. I also had a Vamp Berhinger. Again, if the settings are thinner and more opportunities, the sounds are so good. Obviously, there are better, but it is more expensive. The value for money is really excellent and its range is really good pedal.
With experience, I will not repeat that choice because you find yourself limited in search of a sound identity, but as a beginner, no worries.
