Love it

Almost every preset on this is unusable, like they tried doing too much with each one. If you create completely new ones from scratch though, and suit them to your needs, it's fantastic. This is a tool to be tinkered with and once you start treating it like a blank canvas it really opens up.

For that price, what do you expect?

I didn't expect much. I just needed a small multi-effects unit for bedroom playing and Digitech was a standard at the time.

I didn't play it with neither a very good guitar or amp, and am keeping this in mind while writing this review. Poop in = Poop out, this rule applies for everything

It's super annoying to tweak presets or create custom ones because the menus are circular.. just like the dumb clock on your kitchen's range. It is not super slow to setup because it is complicated; it is super slow because you can't go any faster.

I can't say that this unit provides you good tones because I was not super well equipped at the time, and I was probably using it wrong, but either way the presets didn't sound very good. But then again, this is not supposed to be a high-end unit, not at all.

There are far better options on the market today, for example Zoom G3xn if you need amp sim with multi-effects in hardware format, and of course any popular guitar emulation software; Line 6 Helix, Amplitube, Guitar Rig, BIAS FX... all of those with a simple audio interface will give you excellent, convincing tones.
