Impossible sounds!
It's a pretty cool effect, you can change the sound of whatever you're playing between three different keys as you turn the effect on and off. Apparently your purchase is no longer available in the digitech shop. In addition, it requires a compatible vintage Apple unit and a special digitech/mac cable that is currently difficult to obtain. When is on and working on bass freqs seem to drop a little volumen.

Brilliant concept and many useable effects... if only they hadn't hitched their wagon to the iPad exclusively.
Another workplace discovery when I worked at The Fret Shop (Hsv, AL). Loved most of the downloadable effects--in particular, "Angelic Choir" and "Octaver", which have permanent residency on my board, they are that damn cool and unique!! [Other noteworthy mentions include: Double Cross Delay, Freeze Wah, Xul, Unplugged, Dirty Robot, Snake Charmer Tremolo, Phaser Beam, Jet Flanger, Glimmer Drive and Amp Driver.] For an All-In-One stomp, I was surprised to find as many useable effects as there were. Make no mistake, though, as there were plenty effects that sounded like garbage as well. The only drag is that Digitech went headlong with the iPad-exclusivity thing, and then it wasn't long before the next version of the iPad featured different connectors. So Digitech had to try and scramble to renegotiate their deal with Apple to make adaptors readily available to new iStomp buyers, but by then the damage was done. The pedal was quietly phased out of production, and any tech support for iStomp owners slowly evaporated into thin air. All that said, I love these damn things and wish I had at least 2 more!

Great for experimenting with various effects
From DigiTech's website: "Unlike devices that require you to stay tethered to your iOS device, the iStomp does all of its processing internally. This means professional-quality, high-definition signal processing with no latency and you don’t need your iOS device while you’re playing."
With the companion Stomp Shop app loaded on your iPhone, you can explorer and audition dozens of various effects. Select from compressors, overdrives, chorus, delay, and reverb just to mention a few. Once loaded into your iStomp, the iPhone no longer needs to be connected.

240 Plate Reverb
Excellent reverb! People seem to ignore the EMT "goldfoil" 240 for its older bro, the EMT 140.

All in one weapon.
Good quality effects. Sometimes i use it as a RAT clone – sometimes as Lexicon reverb. It's in my peadlboard and it's everything i need, in the moment need it.
