2 out of 10
Feature:
lots of unusual beat sync'd stuff that has novelty value and that is about it.
Quality:
Product is made to a price point and was released on to the market by a sales department with poor 'non guitar player' R&D
Value:
Spend a little extra and go for a good brand name multi pedal board (e.g. Vox ToneLab) or a little less... the Korg PX4D wipes the floor with this and is less mulahhh
Desirability:
be kind to the planet and make sure that it goes to a recycling facility.
Sound:
Terrible digital noise on some programs.
Ease of Use:
Not very ergonomic.
Support:
Sent mine back.... didn't deal with M Audio.
Overall:
20 minutes

Feature:
Lots of interesting effects, being able to sync them to midi beat is great. The drum machine is fun to jam with for a bit but most beats/sounds are very techno oriented.
Quality:
Seems well put together, but it is all plastic, very light weight. Not a lot of substance to it.
Value:
It certainly is cheap - and there is a drum box in there - but its kind of like a cell phone that takes grainy photos and drops calls - lots of features - none of them very good.
Desirability:
It looks nifty - pretty blue lighted display - compact form factor, and the control layout is logical - but it just doesn't get the sound.
Sound:
Dull, sterile, presets are awful and not at all musical. You can tweak it to get better sounds. There are some innovative effects but they come across as gimmicky and not really musical. I'm a tube amp fan and this thing in no way sounds anything like a tube amp. I returned it and bought a VOX ToneLabLE and am really happy with that. zzounds was really great about that and I appreciate their flexibility.
Ease of Use:
Takes a bit of work. Tone controls lack power - hard to shape the tone. Just bass and treble shelf filters.
Support:
In general, M-Audio support is only so-so.
Overall:
I returned it after one day of playing with it. It just doesn't sound good.
