«  Good but ... »

Published on 01/30/12 at 13:32
All digital and emule a lot of effects of all type.
Editable boiboite or so on the mac or pc ... So there's a small point that even when interret, you can not edit EVERYTHING on the computer, such as the assignment of orders for the expression pedal bah ... ah ... yes, will have to look ....
The connection of Bouzin is complete but there is no effects loop (added from above by the models that followed.)
So we find: guitar input jack, stereo jack output, Variax input, headphone mini jack MIDI IN and OUT and USB.
There's something to see happen ... but still, missing fx loop ... (shit shit!)

UTILIZATION

So how does it work? It works basically like a chaining pedals, no more or less with the possibility of modulation or delays in the beginning and end of string with the impact that has on the ca ... the manual is clear and clear, easy to program, short line 6. I had a boss before Gt5 was a bit more complex but also more powerful at the issue ... you could really make strange sounds with ....

SOUND QUALITY

His side ... bah, go let's say it's like comparing the special effects of Star Wars 70 years and the last ... it happens, it's nice but it is much better even if some aujoud'hui modulations are downright good. Abuse of the side line 6 always want to compare the incomparable is a little torn but a chorus of 70 years is difficult to compare with something of this machine, although it is emulated. It's digital, it's not hot like a pedal all the same. (Do not push it either)
I only use very little or no preamp section of thing. In fact I use the tuner, volume, modulation and reverb time since I used the effects loop of my amp. For this, it's okay but for the preamp you should use a dedicated amp type neutral.
I used to see my Pod in my head marshall tube for example using a simulated preamp direct to rectify the input power and faith, not hurt the ca ...
For the rest we will say that after a few settings you can use it as a sound card to register in the computer (garageband for me). And it works without annoying latency.
Side effects so I like the modulations, delays and reverbs for the rest, will be ironed.
All that is in the fx junkie pack is for me the real crap ... useless and not really interresting ... whammy simulation is the same ... we are very far from a real good but we far as the price ...

OVERALL OPINION

After 7 years (already!) Of loyal service I therefore seeks to replace this pedal with a larger and more recent. I thought the pod 500 hd for the collection of effects in it and sound quality for the above amp emulations. I am still thinking ... I tate ... we'll see ...
It's not a bad machine, it lasts without failure May sbon There's stuff that I like and others that irritate me as the fact of not being able to assign as the new pod hd other effects on the pedal "amp" and "stomp" in order to put / remove on the fly ... but the 500 hd fix that (and also removes the switch start-up industry!!)
Go is compact, it makes a lot of stuff and there's still effects not found in competitors such as the uni vibe so we will say that it is a good pedal even if I not tried every pedal of the earth and that I simply read the data sheet to buy it.
With time and looking back in 2005, there was no better for 500 euro then I think o will say it was not such a bad choice ... since I have always (if unbearable I would have already cast)
Good animal will ... ^ ^
Today we find plenty of opportunity for a shot of cider so it is even more the blow ..
