I’ll start by saying…pedals on multifx are useless unless used as a volume pedal…I have a boss me-80, which i thought is incredible …you get the stomp box circuits…excellent tones in a mostly analog multifx…I’ve never been a fan of the headrush..at first because all the Eleven Racks it replaced dropped in price drastically, but i missed out..and i loved its front panel design…With the MX5…your getting a quadcore processor in an FX pedal.. it’s not an i7 processor..My first thoughts were, i’ve got a lot of resding and YouTube videos…Thats ok, done it before …First impression is..this little bad boy is packed with features, it’s got a 3 button selection section and a 4” touch screen..i thougjt this would be too small, espyfor my blind eyes…but it’s rugged and with a couple cables added in, you can put it in a soft guitar case pocket…if the venue has a PA..this is all you need..Stereo outputs and fx loop…so i can throw a certain few pedals i must have… theres a usb port for direct recording, additional expression pedal out…1/8” phones out, aux in and midi in and outThis bad boy is packed with so many FX’s and amp models…theres a split path as well…I can just say…with the ZZound payment plan and a $500 price tag, with it’s processor, amp models and fx models….And did i mention it was a touch screen…This is worth every penny…I may add more once i play with it linger
