One of the best budget gears a guitarist can ask for, especially those starting out
This is my first ever guitar pedal by choice and was gifted to me. I'm not a professional guitarist, I'm just your average bedroom guitarist who does this for a hobby but man, this thing is a beast.
Pros: -Most standard effects on guitars are on here -Can be DI'd thanks to the XLR output -am2 and am3 capture that can take amps and pedals (best used for OD and Distortion other than being an amp sim) -Can be used in a Hybrid build as a portable amp and post amp effects -Small learning curve -Is also an audio interface -Super portable, does not require to be constantly plugged in -Has a loopback feature perfect for practicing and recording with a backing track of choosing -Casing is rather hard so you're able to use it either as an actual stompbox or put it on the table so you can create your one presets -Has bluetooth capabilities so you can create presets on the go or use the Desktop applications if you want to further profile the captures
Cons: -Has a slight delay when switching between presets -Getting am2 and am3 files can be exhausting since there isn't a single place where they're kept, they're mostly on yt and facecbook -Due to its versatility with the IR and Amp sim, this can cause decision paralysis -Takes in Type C for both charging and plugging into a computer, does not take in 9v - Some models have this hidden flaw in the design where the right most button pertrudes farther than it should causing damage to the battery when being stomped upon (only requires some foam to fixx
Long story short, it's like you're getting a modelling amp in a small box with extra bells and whistles and for the price, you wouldn't have it any other way
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Been having the most fun with the ability to use captures, Recently have toyed with using a boss DS-1 capture and since it's on the Amp setting, i basically have a boss-ds1 with a 3 band eq. I've yet to profile it to cater to my needs but that alone is just neat.
