Sampler phrases: guitar and vocals. (The same little store with something else that's not a problem.

An instrument input, microphone input, an input for an auxiliary device.
2 switch outputs for the exterior.
A general release.
Knobs for input and output with level indicator (LED) of peak
Memory Selector knob, multi-button selection of features of the machine. (Reverse function, fashion denregistrement ect ...)

The facade is CONSCISE, simple and precise, the knobs are effective, modes and other simple functions. Aesthetically it's own short: 10/10

Special features are the "reverse" mode that will link the sentences in reverse it can be fun but easy to manage.
Quin function at the time of registration, cutting the central part of the spectrum of a CD: either the voices and solo! Fantastic!
Fade mode or "volume down alone,"
mode that simply reading li that once the sample recorded
Loop quantize that cutting the sample at the desired tempo.
Tap tempo mode.
and mini "drum machine" with some very nice drum sound to help a stalling is ... Others not count on it to use it as a box is not editable ryhtme ..

It comes with a demo CD of sample that can be recorded in the pedal thanks al auxiliary input, perfect for solos for example. Book simple and effective.

UTILIZATION

The setup is simple. It is true that in the first minutes it seems complex. Once the essential functions of the machine tamed, that is to say mainly the operation of the pedals (smith record, stop, overdub, delete.) All other functions more "secondary" and just as far.

An hour or two of practice and off you go! In short this machine is simple, if you have already pawed the multi-effects pedal and other ca has not rocket science.

The manual in french is very simple too, well explained. This is perfect for learning to manage the beast, although half the job done without. It allows you to see at any moment how to walk the "fade" for example, if you do remember. it is above that serves as a ca .. For my part ...

The only feature that has to learn and at first is hardu is the "loop quantize" that hold your sample to the tempo. nothing too difficult either after a trial you get there.

SOUND QUALITY

I heard the sound deci beyond that was not faithful to the guitar.
I want although it is a perfectionist, but we're not all engineers and we are not in search of perfect sound, so finally, but not what! lol. For me, when I record a guitar part, it is true that the sound has not the potato's "direct from my amp" is obvious: it is a recording not a live conceits!
(If you know what I mean) but it is a top quality more than acceptable. For me it was out almost CD quality. (Too bad for the purists that I speak of Hertz, that's what I feel when I listen to). Even several overdub the sound remains clean as an e ets own the game, I heard that this faisiat foulli soon ... For me the problem comes from the guitar all depends on what he overdub ...

OVERALL OPINION

I am the User for a week now and I'm sure (I will update my opinion on the functionality of the auxiliary input that I have not explored.) If I had to redo my choice I would do it instantly.

Its a top, a top record, recording time, which until now only been a problem my pa .. I love it! simple, clear, effective.
