"An effects box and practice tool that you will NEVER need to replace. NOTHING BEATS IT!"

Feature:
Dial in a desired setting and rock! You will want to get a 4.5vdc power supply. I don't eat batteries, but you'll save money with the power supply. Haven't tried the footswitch, but thinking about getting one.

Quality:
Very well made like all of Korgs stuff. Be careful not to drop it on tile or concrete, plastic housing will break. (not mine, my guitar player has one also)!

Value:
Best for the money that I have ever tried, hands down, PERIOD! Sorry Korg, but this thing kicks the Pandora's ($200.00) butt! Rockman for Bass, forget it! Tascam CD-BT1, not even close! Digitech? Ha!

Desirability:
You play bass? You NEED this! Period!

Sound:
I really don't like a lot of effects, but htis thing sounds awesome! I use it a lot for practice with head phones and it kicks major butt! I have used the Pandora and this is way better! Sound quality is studio like. No noise, easy to use, presets are great! Plugged into my Ampeg SVT3Pro amps effects loop it sounds better than any effect I've ever used. The chorus and delay functions I especially like.

Support:
Never had to use Korg support. Hope I don't have to! (remember my guitar players dropped unit? He sent it back for repair, and they sent him a new one!)

Overall:
I will keep this little box forever! If it breaks I'll buy another one.

About This Product!
Description
Multimedia
Introducing Ampworks Bass − amp modeling for those who demand the ultimate in amp sound. No frills − just real modeling sound and intuitive operation in an ultra-compact package.

Great Sound in a Small, Easy-To-Use Package
The Ampworks Bass amp modeler is a stress-free way to experience real amp sound in any situation. Since the ultra-compact design enables it to fit into the accessory pocket of a bass case, it's easy to take along wherever you go − home, studio or stage. This compact unit is also great for PC-based recording systems with limited desktop space.

Modeling Technology for Realistic Sound
Korg's proprietary "REMS" modeling technology is acclaimed by musicians around the world and is used to deliver numerous types of realistic simulation. With stadium-class sound unimaginable from a unit its size Ampworks Bass delivers the serious sound you need.

Ampworks Bass Contains 11 of the Most Preferred Bass Amps Sounds
Ampworks Bass provides 11 of the most desirable bass amp sounds favored by bassists around the world. These realistic and flexible modeling sounds will support your bass playing in a broad range of styles.

Cabinet Models Sweeten Your Tone Potential
Ampworks Bass provides ten different cabinet models. Every detail of cabinet resonance is faithfully simulated, delivering superb depth and spatial realism even when using headphones or direct-line output.

A Full Range of Effects for Flexible Sound Creation
High-quality effects such as compressor, modulation, delay, and reverb are built-in. These realistic effects are modeled from a variety of superb, pro-level effects using sophisticated technology. The results deliver new depth and versatility to your sound arsenal.

Preset Programs Let You Plug In and Play
For each amp model, ideal tone settings (including the cabinet model and ideal effect) have been preset. Since these eleven preset programs are selected automatically when you choose an amp model, you can immediately start playing with the optimal amp sound. You can also store your own favorite settings in the two user area programs.

Knob-Based Interface for Intuitive Editing
Like a conventional analog amp, operation is simply a matter of turning the knobs. Not just the tone controls, but all amp, cabinet and effect settings are selected using dedicated knobs, so creating the sound you want is intuitive and fast. Delay time, reverb time, and LFO speed settings can be made using the convenient Tap button. There's also a Manual mode that detects the physical position of the knobs, giving you visual confirmation of the sound.
