The best way to learn how to use effects
This pedal was a angular moment in my life, i learn how to use every kind of effects, do live presentations and recorded, it have a lexicon interface to recorded and surprisingly is good quality, very easy to use, not so hard learning curve, the overdrive, distortion, fuzz are kind of useless but everything else is okay, nice whammy simulation, in send your signal in stereo, my big problem with this pedal is the footswitch are made of plastic i don't understand what digitech is thinking but well, you have to be very careful to no broke him, i recommend this if is your first time multieffect pedal.

Starter Multi-Effects Pedal
I bought this pedal when I was only in my first years of playing guitar. I progressively learned how to build different effects on this pedal. There are many different settings to choose from. There is also a 20-second looper in the pedal. The looping function is actually where I learned to loop and make it sound half decent. I sprouted out from there and bought a Boss RC-300 and now am working with my own custom loop pedal. However, I have to give some credit to this little guy. It got me started.

It's awesome!
I borrowed it from a friend who didn't want it anymore, and now it's mine. I love it! There are so many effects, and they all sound pretty amazing. I can get practically any sound I want with this thing.

One of the better multi pedals
This pedal comes with an interface that allows you to easily change your sound with your computer. It gives a great range of sounds from the fuzzy octave to a crunchy distortion back to a warm clean. The expression pedal is reliable, but has since broken, the only fault is a cut out of sound when you switch presets
