A multi-purpose, thus we find ... effects! But also emulations of amps and cabs.
Digital technology + lamp
Full connectivity, jack, SPDIF and USB port. So not bad (just a reproach, not double output jack, so a little more complicated for stereo live ...)
Well presented, rather simple way ...

UTILIZATION

The manual is clear ... Fortunately! For as long as we play with the factory sounds (fortunately damn well) everything is fine ... But when one wants to create his sound ... Ouch!
An exception to the preamp section well stocked and very clear (it was the dashboard of an amp). But main problem in my opinion, the effect setting ... We can only control two parameters, some directly from the button selection effect (like 20% of the race there is a spring reverb, this portion also serving to adjust the effect level) ... Short impractical for a penny. In addition, the display is a pair of figures, if not the manual does not really know what we're doing. Must sometimes keep your finger on a button in order to change a parameter, you have both hands full and can not play a note to hear direct rendering. Annoying ... And that's a shame because ...

SOUND QUALITY

Sounds ... are excellent!
We recover the characteristics of each amp or pedal, the distos are warm and convincing (thank you lamp), the effects sound good too, it is short fun. Honors the talk box that has a real personality and makes you want to experiment!
So cool sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

Service in the past few months, I have had some previous multi fx and is located at the top level sounds.
So I love the sound, connectivity and the lamp of course!
I do not like the control system effects and the fact that there is not a screen worthy of the name.
Too bad, it ruins the experience.
Is what I would do the same choice?
I do not know, for her, yes, the configuration ... No.
