Purchased through Musicians Friend for less than $180, I was looking for a pedal that was a good value, and had previously owned a DG Stomp. The Magicstomp is very easy to use, with plenty of useable patches right out of the box. There are 99 User patches, so plenty of storage for the more creative among us. The sound editor software is very intuitive, I was able to edit/create and download new patches within minutes of installing it. The dedicated web-site with downloadable patches from the other stomp pedals, artist patches, etc. Screen is well lit an easy to read. Tuner is more accurate than a lot of multi-effects pedals I have used. No digital out. The only disappointment to the whole deal. Very solid, feels "meaty and substantial," and small enough to fit in your gig bag without much fuss. If you are on a budget and want a good all-around multi effects unit, this is a very good bet This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com
