"I like it, YOU should too!!"

Feature:
this thing has all the features that you need I don't know what other feature could have possibly been added it loaded. If you bue go ahead and get a power source for it. This pedal has a battery port but they get sucked dry before ya know it. You will definitley save in the long run by going ahead and spending a few more dollars.

Quality:
It is made out of a very tuff plastic that has lasted real well for me. everything is in good order no loose parts, the face looks good, there are no blemishes that were not caused by my foot. I don't worry about it I think it can handle some beatings. I ruined the battery port on mine cuz I left some batterys in it and they of course leaked afer a while, so I bought a power source and it works as well as it did the day I brought it home. I have had this pedal for two years and right now I don't think I'll get another one.

Value:
this is the only one I have had but I like it use it like crazy.

Desirability:
It is as sleek as they say it is, it looks good, and the pedals are a good size for my size twelve foot. It is the only pedal I use (and have) right now and I think it does its job.

Sound:
I really like the sound as long as you can work out the buzz caused by cables it sounds really good.

Support:
I actually don't know about the support. because all the questions I have had were answered in the manuel.

Overall:
It is good especially if your on a budget. Young guitarists GET THIS!!! I think this will serve my purpose for now, but it is kinda annoying to cycle through so many efects to the one you want. but if you don't change effects during a song then it doesn't matter. but If you change in the middle of a song then you have to totally reprogram an effect or two so the ones you want will be adjacent to each other.
