"Sell your amplifier and buy one of these."
Feature:
Bear in mind that this device is NOT a distortion pedal that can be plugged into your amp. It is an amp simulator that is designed to be plugged directly into the board or PA. It simulates the sound of a miked speaker cabinet, so there is no need to drag an amp and a 4X12 cabinet anywhere for gigging. You will need a monitor on stage, otherwise you won't be able to hear yourself play.
Quality:
It's built like a tank. Made in the USA.
Value:
This unit APPEARS expensive, but that's just because it's so small that you'll be thinking, "for this amount of $$$ I'd sure like something larger than this". But its size is what makes it so awesome.
Desirability:
I'm amazed that someone was able to duplicate Marshall stack sounds without an actual amp.
Sound:
I've owned several amps over the past few years, three Marshalls and two Mesa/Boogies. Believe it or not, this little device emulates the Marshall and Boogie sounds perfectly. I've used it for recording, and I am about to use it live, instead of an amplifier. As we all know, Marshalls have a very distinct tone that has not been duplicated by anyone else, ever. The SansAmp comes VERY VERY close. So close that if you hear it on a recording, I guarantee you will not be able to tell that it's not really a Marshall.
Ease of Use:
There's no science to it - you plug your guitar into the right side, plug the left side into your PA (or recording gear), and fiddle with the knobs and switches. The "California" switch setting sounds exactly like the Mesa/Boogie Studio Preamp I used to use years ago. The "British" switch setting sounds like the JCM 800 I used to own. You have three different mic placement settings, all of which have their own distinct characteristics.
Support:
Never had to call them.
Overall:
I plan on using the SansAmp instead of an actual amp from now on. This wall of awesome guitar crunch fits nicely in my gig bag. It ain't the 1980's anymore - people aren't impressed by a 20-foot high wall of cabinets these days. The best part is that it SOUNDS like that 20-foot high wall of cabs.

"warm heavy tones"
I run through a line6 flextone and we all know their distortions sound fake. But with this pedal you get huge warm tube sounding distortion in one pedal. The mesa setting really sounds like a Mesa Rectofier. This is the greatest distortion you will ever find in a stomp box, you get way more then what you payed for. Try it and you will be amazed.
"Perfect for recording direct"
You get emulate 3 amps. A Fender, A Marshall, and a Meesa/Boogie. You pick the Mic placement, the Gain and the amp module. You have tone, level and Gain knobs right at your finger tips and it is very easy to tweak it to get just the right sound. Which is perfect when you are in the studio and Time is very Valuable. I aslo using as a part of my live rig.
"rocks!!!"
this little pedal kicks butt!!! I wanted something to emulate my Marshall JCM-800 rig for home recording, and this puppy did it, and more! I haven't tried it live, but so far, it's made my little crappy practice amps sound better than I thought possible. Give it a try, you won't be dissapointed...
"It really doesn't get much better in a pedal...."
Feature:
It isn't particularly fancy but the supplied features are all you would need anyway. Plus they work.
Quality:
Very good...built to last.
Desirability:
Outstanding...getiing these sounds elsewhere would involve a LOT of money.
Sound:
Provided you are prepared to work on setting the pedal up properly with your amp (or recording setup) this unit is by far the best I have ever heard. The tones are just 'right' to my ears and easily dialled-in from the switches. Sure, there is some noise on the higher gain settings, but the real amps do that....it really is excellent.
Ease of Use:
No problem getting great sounds...just start with the manual settings....
Support:
Haven't needed to contact them....
Overall:
It's VERY, VERY good if not outstanding.

"Beefy and flexible at the same time!!!"
I can get that really sinister sludgy distortion with this which no other pedal i've owned has managed. I tried it out against the marshal pedals, boss hyper metal, and the other boss metal pedal, and a jekyll and hide, but this just kisked arse.
