Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
B-52 needs to go back to the drawing board and re-design this system so it is more reliable. My $30 Sony Discman reads discs better than the Prodigy and has seen some abuse.
Sound
Clean sounding. 3-band EQ on each channel makes it easy to dial in the right sound.
Features
Yes, it has alot of features. Sound effects are neat and sound good.
Ease of Use
Pretty basic operation. Some advanced features require reading the manual, but east to figure out.
Quality
Had 2 defective units where the CD-ROM drives would occasionally read DISC ERROR & skip in the middle of songs. First one lasted 5 months then started skipping on my NYE gig. Send back to B-52 twice and they could not fix the problem. B-52 authorized Guitar Center to issue a replacement unit. 3 months later...same problem. Traded in for a new system.
Value
When it worked, it was great!
Manufacturer Support
As bad as the Prodigy FX was, I must admit the support was excellent. I was able to speak directly to the VP of the company on several occasions who even let me use his UPS account to ship.
The Wow Factor
It's easy to be attracted to the Prodigy because of its sleek design and professional-looking facade.
