UTILIZATION

Manual use is complex but clear at the beginning to navigate ... I still remembered everything
Some efforts have been made

SOUND QUALITY

I appreciate the use to the extent that I use very basic way without much change the original sounds.
The negatives for me are: the difference in volume from one patch to another that breaks the ears (to the a4 a5 example is anything), we must limit mute the guitar does not explode the eardrums of listeners. Ditto for the volume of the drum: when it starts it thoroughly! The guys making you buggy or what?
Effects assigned to the expression pedal is not all functional as patches: for example to select the delay on the a4 possible through the pedal, so by choice knob, the blow obliged to change back the knob immediately after the piece to be grant or choose another effect: not practical at all
Many simulation models unnecessary
wah wah is not too bad on the a6 (if I remember correctly) would have been better on the pedal because the a6 impossible to pass to another patch in full song at least to take breaks, and yet I speak not of volume of patches!
Big plus for the tuner: the + specific as I've ever known. I even give them that had scratches on my Zoom!
Very good build quality also, the price is justified in this area.

OVERALL OPINION

Despite the negative points throughout the pedal is very solid, I have since 2006 and has never dropped, never had any problems with.
For now I keep it, failing to find better and find better qqchose thought.
The ideal would be to think of the pedals by playing styles which would refine the sounds and make them intelligent +. Who can boast of playing both jazz, blues, metal, pop and acoustic in the same concert? Even I played not by much! I do not play anything violent, especially pop-rock style of Alanis Morissette with my Strat or Jazz with the Jazzmaster. I limit myself to patch a4, a7, a9 sometimes (but I came back in favor of the electroacoustic guitar), coupled with the NR, delay, reverb and vibrato (called Wah / efx). I gave up the drum machine that I was served a little on the small concerts.
The advantage of a multi-effects and not to carry around with pedals and cables 36 + which generate noise. Here it is clean.
Difficult to say whether I will ever choose, but I'm happy I damped by now ...
