Top! Many possibilities, ease of use, sound quality true to the description, a beautiful object both off and on, reasonable price.. Only flaws: the absence of an on/off button and also missing a level button for the clean sound (it's a pity and by the way the clean sound is a bit weaker than the saturated sounds). For the rest, I recommend it.. it replaces many pedals and you can add effects without having a whole army of effect pedals on the floor.. I recommend!

Good product, but improvable. I use it in a rock/pop training: electric guitar, keyboard via passive DI, passive bass via active DI, electronic drums, + 4 mics. Everything is connected to the mixer and the overall sound comes out on a speaker. So I don't use a guitar amp and I rely on my pedalboard to bring me directly to the mixing desk the sounds I am looking for. I haven't programmed it to have 5 different sounds, which is one of its 2 possible uses. For now, I use the 5 switches to adjust reverb, delay, mod, distortion, and drive which is their main function.
The cons:
- No power button which is strange for a product of this range (price and quality). To turn it on/off, you have to plug it into a power strip with a power button. I hope in the long term this won't cause short circuit or other problems...
- Despite the pads under the pedalboard and although I use it on tiles, it slides quite easily on the floor, I expected a bit more stability.
- The clean sound is quite low and has no volume button, so you have to avoid pushing the distortion and gain volumes too high to not have too big a volume difference when switching from clean sound to saturated sounds. This also means pushing the guitar volume quite high on the mixing desk compared to other instruments. Balancing instruments before playing is therefore not easy. There is a clean sound boost at the top right of the pedalboard, but unfortunately it creates a kind of unwanted mini saturation on a clean sound, so I avoid using it...
- It's a good product but it's a bit overpriced in terms of value for money. The sound textures are nice but not enough to position this pedalboard above 200.
The pros:
- The pedalboard is sold with a good quality, solid and quite aesthetic case.
- Apart from the somewhat low clean sound, the other sounds are powerful, well defined and really give a lot of possibilities to enrich your guitar playing and the beauty of the output.
- The pedalboard is red and very beautiful even when off, it really has a pleasant design and when you turn it on it's even more beautiful, the LEDs all light up before turning off to let you choose which ones you want to use. At a glance you see what is running, thanks to an intuitive and very well thought out color scheme.
- The pedalboard has a quite precise tuner, easy to activate/deactivate and silent, super practical to retune on stage without polluting...
- The switches are solid, sensitive enough not to have to press like crazy to change sound, but tight enough not to change sound without really wanting to.
- All the knobs are solid, aesthetic and well thought out. The settings are clear and easy to use.
In conclusion, I keep it and recommend it!
