It sounds fine to me. It sounds like the DSP processor that it IS. I read some of the other reviews here, and I don't follow what they're saying. It sounds comparable to Boss and other units that utilize DSP. These people expect it to sound like archaic equipment manufactured in 1969, but if they want that type of scene they should save and buy an original Fuzz Face or whatever. It gets a good MODERN (Emphasizing MODERN) sound for electric guitar, period. I think the chorus and overdrive sound fantastic myself.

It has very good presets. I use the presets, and I get a good sound.

It uses presets, as stated. There is not much to using presets. You choose a preset, and go with it. It's not the type of thing you program. You select a preset, and work with it.

It's plastic, but it's also $69. What do you expect for $69? Do you expect it to be built of Titanium or even steel or alunimum for $69, for God's sake? Don't slam your boot down on it, and it won't break. I use it at home, and use Boss pedals when I play shows. It won't break at shows if you are wearing deck shoes and don't have a stomp like godzilla.

Everyone wants the best there is in the world, and then say "I'll give you 5 bucks for it." People make me sick.

I like the blue color. At least it's not some sickening silver or something hideous. I think it's sexy, with lots of sex appeal.

It has good effects but really lame distortion. It's not a pedal if you want the heavier distortion that modern metal bands are using.

Seems reliable enough to be at a live gig.

It's set at a good price but the factory presets suck

Heavy Rock/Metal

Average for a multi-purpose box.

The tuner does not work well, and the factory presets are poor at best. It does work well for acoustic sounds.

All of these all-in-one pedals program essentially the same. I still don't understand the point in having so many available banks without having enough difference in effects to utilize them.

Plastic is still plastic.

This is a good pedal for a beginner.

No experience.

It is aesthetically pleasing, but I not only don't want it, I have already sold it.

good sounding effects

who needs something with 80 factory programs you can't use?

yeah, they replied to say, yup, that's how it is. Thanks a lot.

Low quality crap. Don't buy it!!!

Rubbish - none of them works properly. Lots of hissing, noises. Low quality outcome.

I am sorry I bought. It sucks. Get an analogue modelling distortion pedal. It would be much better!!!

No value. I am trying to get rid of it right now.

I don't care about their support. "Award winning technologies" What a disaster.

Bullshit. Don't buy it this crap is disastrous

Sounds are average compared to comparably priced units by other manufacturers.

While this claims to have eighty editable presets, the manufacturer's hype is misleading, if not fraudulently deceptive. See additional comments under "Ease of Use" and "Support".

As far as the quality of the physical housing, it is superb. But a piece of petrified dung encased in crystal would still be basically a POS and that's what this unit is.

This isn't worth the price. Other manufacturers have products in the same price range which are superior in performance, ease of use, and customer support.

Customer support from Alesis is a joke. When I e-mailed my questions about changing the settings, the response I got was to instruct me to place a long-distance call to a number which is not toll-free and I was then told I would have an average 20-minute wait before a human being would be available to take my call.

I would want another one of these like I'd want some loathesome highly communicable disease.
