I've had one for about 2 years and just purchased my second here today as a back up and for using an effect for guitar. It's a great product.

Sound
I use the effects pedal for bass and guitar. I like the programmable features. You can modify a model then move it to an earlier number rank for easy access. I can't possibly use them all, but what I use works great. With 80 models though you can find something you like or close to it and then tweek it to your perfection. I have 2 Violin basses and an Ibanez SR500. I've also used the BP80 with my acoustic, strat and jazz guitar. I have 2 Ampeg bass amps, a Pignose battery powered practice amp and a Crate battery powered acoustic amp.

Features
A real nice feature is you can use battery or power supply on the BP80. If I'm using a battery powered amp or I need a back up power source this is a great feature. It is made mostly of plastic and I had to tweek the pedal once but I've had it for two years. It got soak in a down pour once, but it still works like yesterday. I wish there was an easier way to get to the clean mode without having to simultaneously pressing two foot switches at the same time.

Ease of Use
It's fairly easy to use. There is a little learning curve if you've never played Game Boy, used a computer or programmed a TV. The manual is fairly simple to understand.

Quality
I've used it for… read more almost two years and purchased it used. One short coming is that playing outside in the sun makes the display almost impossible to read. I keep my models numbered 1 thru 5 so it's not usually a problem.

Value
Probably worth the usual marked down price.

Manufacturer Support
I've had no need to.

The Wow Factor
It's an effects pedal. I just step on it. If that's sexy well it's a 10 then.
