Purchase: i paid £119 at my local music shop in dunstable,OCTAVE MUSIC.after reading various reviews of this and many other pedals,i decided to go for it...
Pros: the amp simulations are pretty cool,as well as the vast array of effects.etc....hey man,i sound like a rock'n'roll star in the space of about 10 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!its compact,and well constructed,sounds great and comes in at a reasonable price,me thinks..
Cons: the manual is a bit complicated at times ....also the ringman patch,wot purpose does it serve?
Quality: i think this unit is of good quality construction for the price tag.some sort of plastic,by the feel of it,it would take a lot of pounding to break .tonal quality is outstanding .... Summary: on the whole a brilliant bit of kit,go get one and launch yourself into musical infinity...

Purchase: I got it at zzounds for $119
Pros: The switchable amps are great. You won't find another unit in this price range with so many features.
Cons: Not much. A heavier casing would be nice.
Quality: Again, my only worry is that I might break one of the switches or somthing. But I think I would worry about that with any pedal. Summary: Great effects processor for the price. I also play on a Digitech GNX2 which does have more buttons to push, but the AX100g sutes my needs.

Purchase: I Bought this pedal at my local music store, Rimmers music, in a sale for £120.
Pros: This pedal does pretty much every thing, and for a beginner it is an amazing pedal, and as long as you have the booklet for if you won't have any problems with it, but if you don't you better get one.
Cons: when i first bought this I thought it was amazing and it did every thing i wanted it to, but as i progressed and started to play long solos i started to notice that the sustain isn't great and really it needs a compressor to give it that extra boost.
Quality: this thing looks very plasticy, not suprising for the price, but it is made extremly well. Mine has had wine spilt on it, it has been dropped plenty of times and has been pounded by my feet for 2 years now and nothing has gone wrong with it, it doesn't even have a scratch. Summary: this is a great pedal for its price, but really its for begginers, but when you progress just add a compressor , or do what i did and buy a Marshall stack and loads of seprate marshall pedals.

Purchase: I bought the AX100G from a music shop in Perth, Australia for AU$150. It was so cheap because the store had a fire, and so they had a smoke damaged items auction. I wanted heaps of effects without paying for heaps of pedals and it was a bargain so i bought it.
Pros: It has so many different effects to use and you can get any sound you want with a bit of work. It's pretty light weight, it got a tuner(which can be muted as well). Basically its got quite a lot of features.
Cons: I didnt get an instruction book with it so it was kinda hard to work stuff out without one. It doesn't have an on/off button which is frustrating as well.
Quality: It is made of plastic on top which feels fairly hard, but it is plastic so it could break fairly easily too. The bottom is metal. Summary: All-around a good multi effects pedal, even better with the instruction booklet!

Purchase: I paid £69 for this multi-effects unit although it has an RRP of £149. Bought from Coda Music Luton
Pros: The expression pedal is well set and has enough up and down movement. My favourtie feature is the ability to add feedback via the expression pedal without having to turn the amp up to ridiculously loud levels.
Cons: It does feel a little bit plasticy and doesn't look as cool as the more expensive silver AX1000G and AX1500G. But, you get what you pay for.
Quality: No problems with the construction and quality. Despite it's plasticy look, it os actually very solid and well made. Summary: Great value at it's current reduced price. There's no way you'd get anything better for the money.

Purchase: i paid $150 for this multi-effects processor at a sam ash music store near my house. i bought it because i needed something to compliment the new guitar i had bought. i figured i would save some money and still get value by going with korg.
Pros: when i first purchased it i enjoyed the wide range of amp models. i also enjoyed the edit function, sample mode, and expression pedal.
Cons: all the amp models and effects have a weird echo noise that comes out of the amp...the effects sound muffled in a way, and you are forced to turn up your volume to compete with it. while there are numerous effects that can be useful, many are pointless. ringman serves no function at all, and many of the amp models sound very similar. the manual is also very complicated, and the edit function takes a long looong time to perfect. switching between effects also becomes a problem when going from clean to distortion, and volume controls become a hassle while some distortions are softer than others, and some cleans are louder than others.
Quality: its made of some sort of plastic, it seems to be durable but who knows? i would have been much more comfortable with a metal, so i dont feel like im gonna break it when i use it. Summary: bottom line, buy a single pedal that does what you want or go with a top name like BOSS for a multi-effects pedal. i definitely didnt find this pedal to be worth 200 dollars (unit price), and i would probably spend a max of 50 for it.
