    As another reviewer said, it's super hi fidelity. It has all the mod effects you could want and a couple of bonuses, like a killer faux organ preset. Because it's so transparent, you'll be happiest if you have some analog character added, like a tube amp and a classic guitar sound.

  • Call it a win.

    Brilliant both for what it does and does not do, this is a better stab at all-in-one than Boss's ME series of products. In specializing, it focuses on more of a full range of single type of effect and options and thereby simplifies use, adjustment and configuration. I haven;t really used it out yet; but have easily generated tones that have closely emulated sounds I have previously tried to capture unsuccessfully with comparable products. I'm going to call this a win.

  • Extremely high quality sounds, high fidelity
