We go ...
UTILIZATION
Usage is simple enough, but honestly: no computer is the galley (using quasi-esoteric buttons, display zero ...)
To use it, use the soft line6 .. and buy the damn cables noon to 20/30 euros, it's still anything! and then you have a web connection to nab patches ...
SOUND QUALITY
HAPPINESS!
like others, I would forget all the manic sound of death that kills, which would replace configs to € 2000 by a small bean .. € 150 it calms down!
all sounds are not perfect, but what variety .. we change the type of hp, and everything changes ... I found metal sounds crazy (since sold my JMP1), clear sounds great, and even managed to get a sound traffickers jeff beck (from the excellent patches "Billy Gibbons"), which plunged me in to bluesy improvisation almost endless! a shredder like me, who spits on the grave of Eric Clapton! (lol guys .. it is not so bad on Rico) ..
I owned a small turn Rockman (prehistory of the direct box ..), bought a pedal Tubeman Hughes & Kettner (I should have to choose a sans-amp) before discovering that the simulation of hp JMP1 was excellent ... exit all that ..
on the effects included, there is more than the bare minimum, and it is possible to cut .. certainly not pitch transpose, or multi-tap delays ... but damn, do not ask for the moon ..
we live in a great time ...
OVERALL OPINION
I've had two months .. (It's always the love-story)
Of course, it must be put in context: this pedal is used to play live, not to be plugged into a guitar amp ... the goal is just to do without those big bulky .. Therefore, it is a machine dedicated to the home studio, the guitarist of room (which can be pro by the way), and configs coffee with good sound .. (And go, everyone on the sound system .. oh damn, there is the battery ...)
The great aspect that no one mentions is the educational side of the toy ... I made the guitar for 15 years and I've never been very "stuff" .. (Too expensive, too complicated ... how many people spend a long time to be concerned with the stuff at the expense of the music ..) (I'm not saying the good stuff does not help .. but it does not .. all I saw a lot of guitarists wheezy equipped as Formula 1 racers).
here it is finally possible to compare the characteristics (emulated of course) of different amps, HP, with their specific settings, their sounds .. we change gear a click, we study patches ready-made .. is a school of sound in a tiny contraption ... why hp vintage? why put 2 or 4? why fender, marshall, mesa boogie .. without making you an expert, the use of the pod allows you a gentle introduction, intuitive and even fun .. and when you think about what it would take to do that in real life (cost of gear, learning time, space ..).
my only regret is that there are not hundreds of thousands of patches to download tonecenter (instead of a few thousand) .. I want a patch Richie Kotzen (Joy Electric), a patch Marty Friedman (Scenes), Michael Lee Firkins a patch ... Finally, the community Pod seems to me too small ...
The future, it will be when we try to imitate less than trying to produce new sounds, original, based on digital processing of the signal structure ... when you will think fender, marshall, but frequency, sound color ... it would calm a lot of controversy ...
