Not too bad, but not the best
A budget multieffects from Zoom, which I got mainly because it's got a headphone output and so is useful for practicing late at night without the neighbours wanting to kill me.
It only cost about £120, and to be honest it does sound like it! The drives and overdrives all have that 'digital' sound that never entirely convinces, and although the delays, reverbs and modulations are quite good, they seem, if anything, to be a step down from previous cheap Zoom units in terms of the number of parameters offered/tweakability. If you accept that this is an entry-level unit that can give you some passably good practice sounds for not much money, you won't be too disappointed with it. If it was still 1991, this unit would be amazing. But it's not 1991. If you're trying to sound like it's 1991, this could be just what you need!
