Good for beginners
I think I'll never pass from the beginner level, but lets say that my early times, when I had to figure everything in the electric guitar (there were no guitar instructors in my town neither youtube or so), my dad brought me this multieffects. I liked the multiple effects included, specially one called Satch, it was a kind of high gain simulation with a wah included and mid equalized, very good to start shredding (anyway, at that time I would never could do shredding lol).
Another effect was a shifter, so this added with an overdrive and a long delay, it produced a sound FX which I called "NeutronBeam". With the included pedal the tone went from low octaves to upper octaves producing the sound effect.
Anyway, the sound is so digital, but this was a cheap multieffects. I replaced this with a DIgitech RP200, at the end of 2003 , though. I liked the effects more from the A1XG, but the Digitech had more effects and parameters to adjust everything.
I would get it again if I could just for the fun, lol!
Had mine going on 15 years (surprisingly)
Not bad for the price I paid ($100.00). Pretty durable and well built. Sound quality not that great, but it somehow turned a few heads of other guitar players even when using a cheap solid state amp. At one battle of the bands I recently participated in, a couple of guitar players from the other bands ran up to see what type of effects I used and were quite surprised to see that I could get that type of a sound from something as small and cheap as this. I seem to be making it my main gigging multi-effects hooked up with a Soul Food overdrive from Electro Harmonix. It does the job well and doesn't hurt my back. I only wish you could combine the reverb and delay for some of the settings, but somehow, that feature was its limitation. Otherwise, a great bang for your buck.
