The effects available are numerous and can be added to each other by 3 or 4, each from a bank by a REPRESENTATIVES pedals. there are three pedals, THE FIRST contains of no effect, but can turn on or dye effects Attributes (pdalier the shunt) and accder the tuner.
Premire pedals: it contains three rpertoiresque simultanments can be used. 1 = cuts more or less good quality according to custom settings, but how good they are diffrent from one another. 2 = qualiseur, it is good quality and is used all the time. anything with him, one can sound very funk, jazz or heavy ... 3 = distortions: there are 13, they are pretty good but not worth distortion of analog pice 140. only the distortion sound is crappy nome, it is hard to scratch out a note to do even with good compression and even with Electroacoustic, it is better not to use the pdalier for an acoustic sound that of use this function.
second pedals: adjustable effects such as chorus, flanger, phaser and other auto wha. it also allows you to set and to assign the effect of cry baby, whether PDAL pitch, volume or whawha. the rglages are good and enough of them, so you have a little patience to find a real whawha with a real sensitivity and not too much lower volume output qd or cutting. possible, if you do not succeed is that you have read the manual.
troisime pedals: delay and reverb. I think the trs rverbes not warm, it does not replace in any case but that of the amplifier can be added without problem and can recover quickly and fairly trs Fidler jef buckley sound even with a small amplli. Deadlines are trs paramtrables ...

connection: two large output jack (mono and Stereo), a big jack from comuter with active or normal and that's it, no PC conection.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simpler than on small zooms as more visual, but I think that boss is more instinctive to use. modifying effects of three is always paramtrable potentiomtres each (three types of settings to avoid distortion by expemple we gain, tone and level). for the crybaby, you can also set the minimum and maximum volume.
the manual does not seem to me specially clear, especially to save their own types of combinations of effects but as I am allergic to all what is called manual, may be you will find it better than me. In any case, I still use Russian all with or without the paper.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects parraisent me good sound except the pedals. the tuner is way too much, it serves to make me change my qd fast a rope to get closer to the note but Jamia to perfect the tuning of any guitar. I think the distortion lacks a bit of crunch, they are a little too sticky at least with my Fender Start Mex which in any case its a clear trs. with a cort or ibanez it goes better, it can be a dry or nirvana come more frank and heavy as Korn.

7 of the 10 that is only because I put my guitar does not allow me to find my children are serious and distorted that I like but for the rest or with another guitar, I put nine especially considering the price.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year and a half and I have to buy anything else since because it gives me everything I need, you can approach all are ca ca dpend scratches. I saw groups of reggae such as that used haya ca j'tait on stage and surprised that it could give a time set correctly. everything is in the research.
for the price and number of possibilities, I find this little machine insolent and essential all guitarists who are looking for. qd you reach the end of these possibilities, you will know exactly what sound you like best and you can invest in a good analog pedals not go wrong.
