I just got this a few days ago and I normally have an idea of what it is I am buying to better my music. But this one was kind in the dark on several places until I received it.
!!! This thing sounds absolutely beautiful. And yes I am used to good stomp boxes. The drive and distortion are really great and blended so thick and creamy it beats my OCD and Tubescreamer mixed. The digital effects are more than useful. They are better than my former chorus, former univibe, and phaser is the only one I won't say is among the stars. But its useful.
Its very very intuitive and once you understand the difference between edit/preset and manual mode its really fast to use.
There are two downsides which are small, yet irritations that may require an extra midi footswitch.
1) The tap tempo, I would have loved to be able to tap tempo in preset mode.
2) The CTRL button is a great idea, yet I would love to have been able to use this in preset mode as well.
Conclusion! : +
Awesome effects. Analogue drive section rocks! (MAIN REASON TO GET THIS LITTLE BOX).
Intuitive and room for tons of presets.
Great sweet and warm well chosen Digital effects.
Super with Cab and IR output.
Built sturdy (Except for a bit flimsy power button).
Conclusion! -
Preset mode is almost perfect yet missing tap tempo and CTRL usage.
I would definitely recommend this to my best friend.
Thank you again Thomann for great service.
