Review by a visitor on 21.1.2006




Ok, I got this for Christmas and I thought it was awesome. Inullll give my reviews now. My parents paid 70$ for it, because it was on sale and it was chep and had lots of effects.

 
 
  Features  
 
It has a huge selection of features and is not too hard to use.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
It sounds pretty good to me. I guess it was worth the money, the expression pedal needs to be more wah, and the distortion needs to be better.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
The quality is good I guess, I think it looks cool too.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
I only had it for about 2 months and now itnulls just buttons and a led display that does nothing. First the tuning got inaccurate, then no sounds came out of it after that. Sure the tuning setting can still detect the sound but the pitch now goes too high. No sound comes out of it when I plug it in to anything. They better raise the warranty on this item, seriously.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
Well my biggest problem is the warranty and durability. It has an exellent sound and looks very cool and a drum machine. It broke so early though. Digitech needs to build it out of something els thatnullll make it more durable. It doesnnullt last long, trust me.

i bought this baby at Mammoth Music in Anchorage, Alaska(represent!) i paid $80 for it...it was on sale.

 
 
  Features  
 
it has alot of effects...tuner and a cool drum machine....two big buttons and a easy to read tuner. cool expression pedal.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
i used this baby alot...its really portable and the chorus is pretty good and the distortion only sounds decent when turned down...but all the other stand alone distortion pedals are way better. the tuner is sometimes hard to acces because u have to press the two buttons at the same time and hold it for 2 seconds...sometimes annoying when u dont do it right and then u get in the bypass mode.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
The distortion sucks when turned up...it lacks bass and it only sounds good when turned down but your amp turned up. The chorus is really awesome and good for the price but when turned up...to much twangy sounds. the wah is okay but it lacks the "wah" sound in it.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
well...i had this for about three months then all suddenly the tuner started acting weird and now it says a C is an Eb... yeah, that was weird. then after four months, the expression pedal stopped working. then after seven months it wont even do anything anymore.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
well overall this is cool for starters and the tuner will get u in and out of alternate tunings fast and easy. but it doesnt last long. well, it only was like $80 if i hadnt bought it on sale then it probably would have last longer lol...
