Advantages: Easy to use, create your own settings, lots of effects

Disadvantages: Always turns on at full volume

I am not the best judge of this pedal due to the fact that I've only used it with the Roland Cube 30X which is a digital modelling amp and the combo of a digital amp and a digital amp isn't a good one.

It is easy to use once you get used to it, there are settings already assigned to each patch and you can edit these or create your own. There are two footswitches one to go to the previous patch and one to go to the next patch. There is also an expression pedal which can control parameters such as volume and is also used for wah and whammy effects.The manual is very helpful and tells you what each knob does for each effect and the kind of sounds you can get. This pedal has loads of effects and its great due to the amount of patches you can save. It saves having to tap dance over your pedal board. But whilst this is a good multi-effects pedal and it does most of the effects pretty well it doesn't do any of them exceptionally. It also has a basic drum machine which is a cool feature but the only problem is that every time I turn it on it's at full volume and I have to turn it down.

This is a great pedal if you want loads of effects at a good price but it's not the best multi-effects pedal and if you only need a few effects then get single pedals.

Summary: It's an all rounder rather than being exceptionally good at something in particular
