First off, I love black stars features and the love they put into there products. When I received mine visual everything was pleasing to look at. Features wise, it had everything I needed for the music I play (effects loop, 2 channels, etc). The sound however I would describe it as warm and farty when cranked. Maybe I got defect on the isf controls but no matter how much I played with the tone, I could never get a clear bright clean tone. I was just gonna wait it out till I could have a replacement but instead I returned it and went with a voxac30c2x.
