Style of Music: Rock, Funk, Jazz

Musical Experience: Active Pro

Location: Bloomington, IN

Feature:
No wall wort.

Quality:
Very well made case. Very sturdy. More pedals should be built like this.

Value:
Good thing it is inexpensive. Kids might have fun mucking about with this, but for a pro it was a waste of cash.

Desirability:
Don't get this unit.

Sound:
Sound quality is good. No pop on bypass, etc. No hiss. When the effect is dialed in, it can be a very nice envelope sound. However, getting the sound is very difficult. Far too mmuch flexibility in shaping which creates a lot of unusable sounds. The range where good sounds exists is slim. That range needs much more control, nuance. The VU meter is useless. Power must be at least 200Ma. Forget a battery! Won't make good sounds!

Ease of Use:
Simply put, it is very difficult to find good sounds with this unit. Get a Q-tron, Mu-Tron or EBS IQ.

Support:
Did not call suppoort. no need.

Overall:
I don't like this unit and would not buy it again. I won't use it at all.

Desirability:
Totally unsexy

Sound:
The sound might have been Ok, but it died after a 4 inch fall. And never worked so well the short time I had it.
