"Stunning piece of equipment."

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
For the value and all that it contains for so less, it deserves a 10.
Sound
It sounds great with amp modeling (for the overdrive mainly) and the different effects each sound very good.
Features
It contains most of the effects that you might ever want. The down side to them is that you cannot use them in conjunction with each other. Also, it lacks the control you have over the effects you use. For example, when you use Flange, you can only control the depth and the rate while in real life you can control the depth, rate, manual feed, and the scream (I don't remember the technical name for this).
Ease of Use
It is extremely easy to use and as long as you understand how each of the limiters for each effect work (this is why you KEEP your manual) then you can breeze through it with no problem.
Quality
It looks great and sounds great but...... The faceplate scratches easy. If the batteries get low it will freeze and sometimes delete your saved settings. (which is why you plug it into the wall!!!!) The effects are good, but not as good as the real thing (it is a PROCESSER not a PEDAL)
Value
It is worth it just for the reverb, delay, compression, and noisegate/ limiters. All of these work awesome and couldn't be improved.
The Wow Factor
It is alright in category. It isn't the prettiest thing, but you buy it for the value, not the sex appeal (you have over $20,000 worth of effects in here!).

Musical Background:
