Feature:
I wish this was DC so I could keep everything running off the one power supply. The Distortion setting need to be addressable w/o the toe fx. There's a whole DX7 in there by golly but your stuck with a "mix" of FX combos. That is not cool. From what I've read you can use the useless Whammy (no dive bombs on this one) setting, go dry on the mix then get into the DX7 part and use it thus giving you access to that gem.

Quality:
Looks good, ain't gonna break but you'll likely break your heel bone trying to kick in the distortion settings which use the heel button. Every been to a fair and try to ring the bell with the sledge hammer? This is pretty close. The upside is you'll never accidentally kick in the distortions.

Value:
At the "B" stock price that is 140 everywhere I look it's worth it for the few pedals you get out of it plus the options for outputs.

Desirability:
Looks good and has a few pedals i wanted. I figure I ended up with a few highly controllable pedals in one space such as the uni-vibe, 2 wahs, leslie and a flanger.

Sound:
This has a good clean sound on the toe tapping side. Space Station would be more use if it was an open setting to get to distortions only. Not a whole lot you can do with it BUT if you get creative and use some more pedals after the fact you could get very weird.

Ease of Use:
Once you figure it out it's pretty standard. Now rocket science mapping involved.

Support:
Can't say as I never dealt with them.

Overall:
Considering I can't run my Wah through the uni-vibe or other combos like that it has it's short comings. Imagine if the DX7 heel part was a mapper to some of the toe tappers. Then you'd have a heck of a multi-fx processor. Seeing as I just got it I can't knock it too bad nor rave about it. It is going to offer me the ability split my signal, tweak my wahs and now I got a uni-vibe which cost a lot by itself. That was the deal breaker for me. That and the 140 dollar price tag. But you need the 40 dollar accessory pedal to move through your presets or forever be bending over.

Feature:
Tons of features but would take a while to learn and set up for gigging.

Quality:
Seems a bit flimsey. Expression peddal cheap feeling.

Value:
A lot of effects for the money

Desirability:
I think I will pass on this one

Sound:
The wahs are very realistic however the expression peddal has very little travel and requires a light touch. I'm use to a Steve Via bad horsey and it is much easier to control. I did not like the flanger either. Very little control over how it sounded. To be fair, I only messed with it for 30 min. or so. Love my Distortion Factory and was a little disapointed with this one

Support:
I hope its good because its a digitech and we all know they break. Not a Boss!

Overall:
Its ok but it could have been great.
