simulation of amps / speakers
simulation of distortion pedals, wah, chorus, reverb, delays and other ...
a 12AX7 "warming" the sound
connectivity options, possible output in stereo headphone output. No USB.
the pedal is quite long and weighs his weight but very sturdy (all metal).
UTILIZATION
It takes a little getting used initially to juggle all the adjustment options offered, but I guess it's the same battle on many multi-effects.
Nevertheless there are quite easily the type of sound you want and the effects that one wants to use. The range is very wide.
You can edit the sounds in depth, assign a task to a switch or control of a specific effect or amp simulation in two expression pedals.
Good reliability / correct: in 7 years of use I had 2 times the case of screw handlamps walking in the housing and the switch of presets that were beginning to tire (problem solved by adding a shim to improve contact) nothing dramatic ...
It's practical, sturdy and it works well. The format is a little "aircraft carrier" but we have everything on hand.
SOUND QUALITY
The different sounds clear / distortion have all offered a different color and everyone should find something.
after trying a few tube amps we must admit that this pedal, despite its "lamp" is fairly soft knee. I never managed to get as much momentum as the pedals of a tube amp. Do not expect miracles on that side.
Also I noticed that the pedals still ate a lot of his / dynamics. I live by plugging in my power amp (Peavey 50/50) I had a clear sound a bit flashy, even if the amp is very "simple" very right. With the pedal all between the two becomes "sanitized".
Malgés time spent on the beast I've always had great difficulty finding quality crunch tones. It may be just me but it remains an enigma ...
We can therefore have a clear (too) clean, nice distortion with a wide range and a host of effects is easily adjustable.
OVERALL OPINION
I used this machine for 7 years and it made me very good service.
To be honest I have not tried many multi-effects before you buy. I bought it on the advice of an informed person.
I do not regret this choice because it is very convenient and somehow it helped me determine my "sound", to know what effect I used most often etc.. It allowed me to make the transition to a pedalboard that has only what I need.
My opinion is that this pedal can make a transition period between learning effects, settings and one where it feels to move to more upscale products, corresponding to its sound. I see it as a kind of laboratory where each can determine / shape its overall musical identity.
Then with time and more meetings with the gear couillu we want to move on ...
