A nice vibe pedal. At first I thought it ate up my high end, since when you engage it, it has more of a mid sound. Turns out, inside the box, there's a switch where you can adjust how much high end you would like to cut. Makes it super versitile. It would be nicer if that switch would be on the outside, though, like the Jerry cantrell crybaby.

Right so this one has no difference whatsoever from the blue Audiobox. Just the colour. If you searched for this one, you probably wonder one thing. I'll fill you in. YES IT IS BETTER THAN THE FOCUSRITE SCARLETT 2i2. One difference is that it doesn't have two separate Gain knobs for each input. But whatever right? The Scarlett to me doesn't sound clear enough, as if it had some built-in reverb or something.

This amp has 4 channels and a couple effects. The effects are nice, reverb's pretty good, tape echo's good although it is a little too clear (more like a digital delay). Then there's the effects you would sort of experiment with instead of adding to your tone (chorus flange, phaser, tremolo). This is the first pro of this amp. The second one is that it has really nice smooth channel switching. You can save the custom tone you create on each channel with all the effects and the drive bass mid treble knobs, plus with one called "channel volume" (which really helps when changing to clean sounds from heavy overdrive), and when you switch from one channel to another it comes with the effects you have assigned, on the volume you have chosen, so that really helps a lot (This all being with a footswitch of course). The downside is that...the Metal and Insane channels are shit. The Metal channel at least may be alright if you mess around with it a bit but the Insane channel is just shit. No audio engineer will ever let you put that tone in a recording. In fact I have the Insane channel's volume always on 0 and use it like a "mute" channel instead. The Clean and Crunch channels are good though, don't put much drive and you should be able to use anything over the clean channel. You know, I'm not saying this amp is bad or anything, it's a digital amp after all. What you want from it will probably decide how good it is.

I bought this 3 months ago. Almost never recorded anything without it, even with close to no drive whatsoever, it really brings a big sound to average crunchy amp channels. And a real nice distorted rhythm tone with the drive at 2 or 3 o'clock, which is WAY better than those front-page distortion pedals, like the Boss DS-2, or MetalZone, sh*t like that. BUT, What really makes this pedal great, is it's orgasmic clean boost. Sh*t mate, the clean tones this pedal has. Over a nice clean channel from your amp, you put this little guy at no drive and 10 o'clock tone, and he will make you question your clean playing before you met him. Terrific with arpeggios. And hey, if you want a nice bright crunchy sound but your amps crunch tone is some boring and the-exact-opposite-of-bright piece of shit (wouldn't surprise me), cranck the tone all the way with just a little bit drive. It will be way way better. Plus the true bypass helps a lot too. And it small, so it's easy to carry around and doesn't take loads of space. Seriously, this pedal is so good. 10/10 would recommend.

Provides good short-time delays. If you put feedback on like 4 o'clock, not much after you play the note the signal goes batshit and it destroys your ears until you bend down and turn the pedal off whilst screaming like a little bitch. So I wouldn't recommend going past noon on feedback. Not with the echo knob high anyway. One crazy thing I noticed is that it's pretty clear with my TS and my hand-wired fuzz, but when it's on with the big muff it gives some sort of massive treble boost. Like it turns the big muff into a harsh sounding distortion. I swear, it's pretty weird. I tried it with 0 echo to see if my ears were fooling me, and they weren't. This is one weird side effect of this pedal. You know I actually kinda want to prove this. Can we upload videos here? Is that a thing with this site? Hit me up if it is, not sure if anyone is aware of this.
