Value For Money : Excellent
Digital course, with a lamp in alibi. No adjustment of input level, which requires reprogramming while changing guitar, thank you very much.
Moreover to scroll you must press each time, so do not discount go 0-40 in a long press on a button, it is null.
About programs, 99 pitches but only 50 for his creations, until then it's okay. on the other hand you are at the 0 and you get a notch for your last personal program and wham you're not at 49 but at 99 Factory (absolutely filthy also, as often). Not good for the price it offered!
Connectivity is good, and in the master volume knob, and especially a cursor vfm-line to adapt the general behavior of the gadget by or it will go.
USB port, I have not tested elsewhere I have only linux ...

UTILIZATION

It's pretty simple, luminescent buttons are a plus. There is not much to be paid anyway, it is a serious lack of parameters. My korg AX3G is much higher on this side.
The manual is good and necessary because the interface is not terrible since we want to setup the pedal, use the noisegate, etc..
It can be used with headphones, but even my akg k240 studio does not make this pumpkin carosse. Forget it then, especially since the thing is not stereo (mono delay, reverb narrow) in real life.
I put correct because it can be paid in a hurry and have a clean sound.

SOUND QUALITY

Here it is more gate, and for short it offers nothing better than AX3G.
The effects are ugly and dull, the delay is a horror bland and lack luster reverb-space speed etc..
The section provides overdrive pedal distos-friendly (as the AX3G) that are essential for clean and dynamic saturax.
Curiously this module seems to be placed after the amp module because disabling it distos pedals do not sound at all (the sound is almost extinct), I do not see the usefulness and worse it prevents the use of a front ToneLab clean amp just for distos and its effects.

Distos: Lamp seems to be an excuse in any case it does not improve the standard sounds (found in green fashion and are available for ages in the products of the brand as the da5-DA15-AX3G ) the contrary she etric quack and adds a lot of breath.
22 additional sounds (orange and red modes) does not therefore have a greater pace I have not pursued the matter.
The compressor is too exaggerated and almost unusable (0.5 to 10.0 already flattens any signal), but it does not matter in this on clean sounds lamp produces a beautiful effect of compression (and breath but good).

OVERALL OPINION

My AX3G is better on all points, especially stereo and is very convenient.
Despite the years between these two products sound quality has deteriorated, although ergonomics ptinouvo easier for the basic.

Anyway I think the new series of amps + vt is more convincing that ToneLab, while offering very comfortable option pedal 5-6 buttons. And as the 20w has everything, he returns with the pedal not much more expensive than ToneLab.

Sorry but for the pub and positioning thingy I expected much better.
