Excellent (but with its flaws)
For modulations and ''Whammys'' it is more than excellent. It's super easy to use and to set up the sound banks and the expression pedal, two buttons and two knobs. Believe me, you won't need anything else.
The negative points I see are the following: - The distortions sound very compressed and tinny. Personally, in this case, I recommend having your distortions separately and not touching the ones on this particular Zoom (unless they are very light distortions). - When adding many effects, there comes a point where it makes too much noise and you can't find a way to correct that other than removing effects little by little. - It doesn't have amplifier simulations (personally it's not a negative point for me but it's something to consider for other people).

Works well with an amp, less so direct to a PA or interface
Most of the presets are not to my taste, it's well worth your while building patches from scratch for tones that do work, and for the price there's a lot to choose from in terms of models and effects. I frequently use it with a Laney Cub12 and find that using the "Fd" setting can provide a very slightly dirty decidedly "Tweedy" sheen to a distinctly non-Fender-like amp. Worth the money.

A Great Starter
This was another "starter kit" of sorts that helped me get my feet wet with guitar effects and everything that entails. For me personally this thing can be pretty involved, but if you give it the time you can make it work for whatever sound you're trying to get.
