Review
I purchased this effects unit 3 years ago and I’m pretty happy with it. I play it with my Ibanez rg-2570 and an Ibanez amp. The styles I play are mostly metal and rock with an occasion influx of pop and other crappy genres(no offense there).
The unit comes with one expression pedal which can be used to turn on or off modulation or reverb etc. , reduce the volume and modulate the wah.There are various types of gains and the sound can be enhanced further by adding stacks and combos. The delay and the effects such as flanger , phaser etc. are pretty good.
Some aspects of this little box aren’t that perfect though. The zoom noise reduction pedal is on the whole rather ineffective. Case in question: The sweep patch and the van halen patch. The wah effect also doesn’t come out strongly enough(example: if you tried to play the lead in be yourself-audioslave , you’d end up sounding pretty foolish.)
Pros: 72 patches , 36 customizable.
Cons: Poor noise reduction and wah.
Final Verdict: A good beginner’s pedal.
