"Such a cuty!"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
As mentioned, it lacks a tuner and you can't store any presets. Maybe the fact it's mono (also on headphones) could set me off to search further but till now there's nothing available that beats the sound and runs on batteries.
Sound
Nice sounds, all basics you'd want are there. Noise can sometimes be a minor issue. It;s possible to adjust noisereductionlevels but the trade-off is lack of sustain and notes that do not completely sound all-the-way.
Features
I chose this one because the DA 15 has no battery operation possibilities. What it lacks are: - a guitartuner - storing possibilities and addressable memories
Ease of Use
It can't be easier except that the headphone jack could be on top in stead of at the back.
Quality
Looks like it could fall out of your hands without major damage. Mine had a nail misplaced in the cover for the batteries and had scratched the interior. Made in Vietnam ....
Value
Sure. I compared it against the Micro Cube of Roland which sells at about 2/3 of the price of the DA5 but the DA5 has more basic sounds and more effects.
The Wow Factor
In dutch I call it "Mijn Knuffelvox" which basically means that it's my cute little box to cherish like a pet. I also own a Vetta II and the Vox is used in the livingroom. Yes, I want it.
