This is a fundamental part of my rig, I think it really is the best pitch shifter out of any pedals that I've come across. The tracking is pretty much perfect enough for me to create multiple songs off of me shifting the pitch with the foot pedal part of the unit, similar to how wahh pedal players use their wahhs (except these settings are way cooler than any wahh haha).
This is the modern version of the legendary Boss OC-2 pedal. Although it does offer way more settings than the OC-2, I sometimes feel that the tracking can be a bit wonky whenever you're pushing this pedal to it's limits.
Still a solid, versatile octave pedal.
Does the tuning job well enough. Also like to use it as a mute switch whenever I'm setting down my guitar or whatnot.
Great for splitting signal, I did have to add a battery adapter so that I can connect this pedal to my power supply (this originally a battery-powered only unit). Yeah haven't had much issues with it!
I know that there's some use that others have found with this unit with some looper pedals, I however use this unit with the Boss DD-8, mainly for the twirl affect that you can toggle with it.
To be honest now that I'm thinking about it... I only have this unit to press one button that makes one effect... still worth it imo!
This pedal offers a lot for it's price point.
I know that I'm far from the first to talk about all of the different possible reverb settings that you can pull off with this unit, so instead I'll list the specific uses that I got out of the HOF 2.
I had utilized the stereo jacks to split the signal before I got a dedicated unit which does that.
Of course you can use the Hall reverb and all the other typical reverbs, but my favorite has got to be the LOFI reverb, idk it's checks the boxes for what I'm looking for (A reverb with character but not overbearing/distracting).
Oh btw I never used that "long press" feature on this pedal, I just can't find a good use of it despite of me being more of a "experimental" pedal player, oh welll
So my wacky made in China Telecaster came new and broken straight out of the box (bad input jack)... however I got it for dirt cheap and liked the color of it so I made it work by upgrading the jack, tuning pegs, and string saddles.
It plays nice, and it's so cheap that I don't mind having my way with it with bangs and scratches.
For this price range, I can't see myself going with any other PA. I used it for many type of applications, such has having it be for DJs for small events, to it running live vocals, being stage monitors, and now being a part of my speaker tower for my loud guitar rig.
It produces a very flat, clear monitor like sound, and although you can technically EQ this speaker with the JBL app, I think it would be much wiser to EQ your sound outside of the PA's interface.
Notable features that I like about this PA, it has anti-feedback software, so running any type of microphones with this PA is pretty nice and smooth.
This PA also has a Bluetooth feature, which is pretty great in a casual setting.
If I had to list a con... I guess just having one of these speakers won't be exactly loud enough if you're doing a loud show, but I feel like that's pretty expected for the price range.
And if I was reaching for the stars to have something negative to say... I guess it is a little bit bulky but cmon... a 15-inch speaker PA that you can carry with one hand?? It's really not too bad.
I'm very much considering buying another of these units due to all of the other features, the sound quality, and just overall reliability and price.
Keeping this one real concise,
I think this is a pretty good sounding cabinet, I had to upgrade the tweeter on mine because it sorta... blew within a week of me throwing a loud signal at it haha
Mmm but yeah this 4x10 is a big unit, which is usual with bass cabinets, but I have noticed that this is more... thick? like it's bigger than a Ashdown ABM 410H, so BEWARE of your transportation... it doesn't fit in my trunk (the Ashdown 410H does), it doesn't fit in my back seat (even my 18 inch JBL Passive Subwoofer fits back there), so this fella has to take up the front seat of my sedan. It's safe to say that you need wheels/scooter to move this cabinet around.
I like it use it though because it's loud and durable, you can really beat this guy up.
TL;DR Awesome until you have to move it !
