A plethora of numerical simulations of everything that constitutes a rig guitarist, bassist and singer from stompboxes to get to the speakers with all that can be between! All in a lightweight rack is ugly (not matter ...) is one does not feel very solid.
I have rarely seen one as complete connectivity on a single machine.

UTILIZATION

Everything depends on the person, but it's a cinch for any musicians who have had any multi-market effect and even more easily via PC.
I like the fact that once we saved presets, you can tweak its sound like any amp with the knobs, convenient to change the gain, the rate eq or reverb on the fly. The FBV is not bad, but can be used safely on the other pedal noon, a behringer or roland work perfectly.

SOUND QUALITY

The sounds of factories are crap of course ... very eye-catching demo and loaded as 99% of products on the market. In any case it is obviously necessary to review at least levels and cuts and you get to have nice things. But I do not care about sound factory. No tags for this.

As is supposed to simulate, I tried to reproduce my favorite sounds or most useful. To do this I mounted in a rack in which I have made every time a preamp, the line 6 was in a power amp input (an engl e850/100), the unit I wanted to emulate in other channel, each with a 4x12 and I hacked up to get the same sound on every channel ... I did that with a JMP1 Marshall, a mesa and peavey TriAxis RockMaster. I also did some research of my marshall jcm 800 and plexi
-Can not have sound mesa with the exception of Hon big slobbering sounds modern 4 / 20
"I fully and quickly managed to get my favorite sounds of saturated RockMaster, also obtained a 5150 report in a little less hairy, not bad at all! 7 / 10
"I virtually cloned, not emulated," cloned "some of my favorite Marshall sound after several days of testing! The prize goes to the jcm 800 yet highly disparaged in what you read here or there, it does for my sound to me. The only difference is that the sound is just right and a bit more aggressive as when I put tubes in China, I got good stuff with plexiglass sounds too! 8 / 10
I'll probably continue to mumuse with an attempt to emulate the pedals as I have and that the machine emulates. For now I find the reverb very successful, but I have not tried the other effects Having focused on the preamp. See you later!

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this thing a year ago, by dint of seeing all the pros who have one somewhere in their gear and due to time I forgot it in a corner with lots of other machines. I fell on it looking for something else a few weeks ago and I decided to have some fun with.
As I have never in 25 years I sold a ton of stuff at home with which to compare.
For the price of some pedals shops, we are left with an incredible opportunity that camera worth spending time on it. I am aware of no use to 10%, but this thing leave me anyway, I will serve as emergency equipment in case of an attack knowing that I more or less my favorite sounds in at any time just by pressing a button or two. What a pleasure as well to avoid this walk 200 kg of gear or do not have to turn it on and connect several devices just to play a shot p'tit quickly.
It's a nice machine, given the price it deserves a 8 / 10
