Purchase: I bought this from an ebay dealer for $69 and it was worth every penny.
Pros: I wanted a digital modeler that was plug and play without dealing with a bunch of programs and patches. This unit is one of the best sounding digital modelers I've heard. One of the coolest features is the output character control. It gives you alot of sound variations to the basic models. And allows you to get a good sound whether running direct or into an amplifier.Also, the noise reduction is extremely effective.
The effects sound very nice.
Cons: Well you can't switch between sounds without reaching for the amp select knob. The effects(chorus, tremolo, delay, reverb) can only be used one at a time.
Quality: Although it is made of plastic it's fairly sturdy and should last since it's not something you control by foot. It's really a desktop unit anyway.
Review Summary: This is a good choice for someone who wants to keep it basic and straight forward. The models are some of the most realistic I've heard and it's very inexpensive.
