It plays pretty good

I bought it used many years ago at a Guitar Center for a steal, and it was a great deal. Made in South Korea, it is the bottom of the line of the Talmans, but it still plays well. Never got to play it in a band but I still enjoy it, I blocked the bridge since I don't use the Vibrato/Whammy Bar.

Love them for guitar!

I've used these for guitar for about 20 years now... one of the things I love the most about them is their lasting power. They are very durable as long as you aren't doing a ton of pick slides constantly. They show the most wear and tear on the edges, obviously. I haven't ever broken one, knock on wood.

Versatile unit with flexibility that was ahead of its time.

I have used this unit for over 20 years now, and I love it. I'm a semi-pro musician who has recorded a couple of CDs, and on the first one I recorded, this got used on the guitar, the keys, and the bass! It is an interesting unit that was way ahead of its time, a multi-effects unit with loops for three pedals that switched on and off in the patches. The unit itself had no built-in distortion, so most people would put in 3 different distortion pedals for different tones. I play ethereal music, so I put in a phaser, a flanger, and a digital dimension chorus pedal. The unit has chorus/flange/pitch shift built in, it has 2 delays, a short and a long, reverb, an EQ, a noise gate, input for an expression pedal, midi, a tuner... 5 banks of 5 patches. You can get some really interesting tones out of this. The pitch shift tracks very well, and even has a detune mode that creates a haunting sort of sound. I just love everything it can do. It, of course, has stereo outputs. People complain that they are noisy, but it is a multi-effects processor that is from the 90s, I don't expect silence if I am using a bunch of effects. These are all made in Japan, so you know they are made to last, minus the clips on the lid, those are the thing that seems to go first. All in all, a solid investment, especially if you are into ethereal/shoegaze/dream pop/goth etc.
