«  Super satisfying! »

Will not go back on the characteristics (known and overcrowded ...).

Note the design strength (I was expecting something more lightweight)

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is fairly simple as long as one passes by HD-Edit, where everything is clear and super vision.
We see the effects chain and how to apply the simulation parameters (amps, speakers, microphone and positioning of the latter).

on the other hand, direct editing of the beast is more difficult and requires a two-line LCD screen a bit tight.

The manual is clear and comprehensive, but again, with HD-Edit you can easily do without.

SOUND QUALITY

I would on this point the same remark as some I've discovered with disappointment that the reverb effect accounted for a ... mandatory. So it does really only 3 different effects combined.

The looper seems small at first (24 seconds), but in the end, that's enough when you want to loop a little riff to embroider over.

I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of models (I had heard the worst of this kind of tool). This is frankly realistic, especially on clean tones or with a little crunch.
The number of simulations is more than enough to me.

The factory presets are not used much, except to make a comprehensive demo of the possibilities of the beast.
Even if carricaturaux, some effects are fun.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for nine months, especially for playing guitar with headphones and import it into my DAW.

I am super happy and I would do 10 times that choice.

The value for money looks good to me, but I have not found its strength in a live environment (which is still its primary function ...).

Quibble (in form) to the tuner that is not really accurate, not very useful.
