10 out of 10
Feature:
It has every effect I need, plus a tap tempo! The processor is pretty fast It handled my drum vsts and comes with a slew of plugins and support. You get a ton of amps cabs as, also the ability to place the mics and the knobs are nice, works well with the gearbox software.
It also has midi in and out so it's pure win.
Quality:
It's metal lml , literally , it this thing is a beast it would take a lot of pounding to destroy it, everything works like it should and the processor is fast enough to handle my vsts like ez drummer.
Value:
I got what I paid for, I don't pay list price for anything though,
Desirability:
It's got an lcd display that is always sexier than most basic lcds, It's just a digital processor though ,I don't care about the color of something , but it looks pretty hot next to my pc and mixer.
Sound:
It can create some amazing guitar tones. Far superior to digitech and vamp2, I would say it's probably the best guitar processor out there but the x3 came out. I also have the expansions for metal which are very good. I do live sound professionally and this is a great pedal people complaining about it probably don't know how to use it properly. check out http://www.myspace.com/iambulb to hear it used correctly. This is not my page.
The distortion is awesome, I'm not sure what problems some others were having , I haven't heard it without the expansions but the distortion is great.
Ease of Use:
It's definitely not for n00bs, but I was able to dive in and setting it up , deep editing and creating tones is easier using the software but it was still cool. It's not your basic little effects processor it can but even using the presets you will still get great tone.
Support:
I didn't deal with the company because I had no problems but , there is a forum community linked right on the sight, with extensive guides, and driver downloads which I did use. Everything was fast and easy to get to.
Also you can share patches with each other, so you can download tone presets and the community of talented musicians that uses it , is enormous on most guitar player forums you will find guys who can help you with anything, and who offer their own tone presets for download.
Overall:
I'll be using this forever, If I ever get my own studio I might just have it as apart of an older pc setup, but it's always going to be great for just ease of use and plugging in and recording, If you are a pc musician and don't have a great amp/mixer mic setup this is one of the best digital processors out there. I also own guitar rig 3,a digitech rp 200, a vox tonelab and a , neither can match the metal tones I can get out of this with expert tweaking.

Feature:
Lots of features that all sound like crap,eg. the reverbs are real bad.
Quality:
It seems well made but again it sounds lousy.
Value:
A waste of money. Buy a small used tube amp and SM 57 for way better sound.
Desirability:
I bought it and didn't like it, do you want it? CHEAP
Sound:
Thought it would be somthing I would use when I bought it, wrong. No matter what you have heard it the models do not sound like the orginals. It always ends up sounding like a proccesor not a real miked amp.
Ease of Use:
I guess it is easy to use, but what would you use it for?
Support:
Lots of support but still does not change the sound of it.
Overall:
A weekend and I was ready to give it away.
