Best value:
Excellent
I do not return on the characteristics. They are already detailed above.
Because of the USB connection to a PC, it is estimated that above average.
UTILIZATION
Interface is very basic: two switches, four knobs, a small display of two characters.
But it's too basic, the tiny screen is zero.
The selection knob and then the knobs to change values. It's not terrible.
When one wants to re-edit, review the settings, it's not really practical.
As said, this is a blow to squat 10 minutes between songs to adjust its settings and to understand why we sound rotten.
SOUND QUALITY
So, I do not understand the other opinion.
We did not hear the same thing, or you do not have the same references.
It's been 20 years since I played electric guitar on all types of guitar effects, amps ...
Having played a lot with a friend who ran a music store, I even had the OCCAZ to try a lot of pedals / effects.
But here, the sound is awful. There is nothing to save, neither preset nor the effects one by one, nor distos, or even the expression pedal.
Everything sounds artificial, small, metal (digital?).
OVERALL OPINION
This is an effect to ban, even for a matter of money, even for a beginner.
The argument of type "for a beginner it is" good "value" is dishonest.
When we started, we especially need to learn to play the instrument correctly.
At this level, the effect is to have fun and do not abuse it. Above all, they should not spoil the sound or the guitarist used to listening to m. ....
For the same price, buy two or three more good baseline and pedals forget this dung.
Otherwise, invest in the things of the Pod XT or its variants ...
PS I put one because the USB port, it can still serve as a sound card. I have not tested, but a priori the A / D converters must be better than those of a basic computer.
