Guitar Distortion Pedal Delay Guitar Pedal Portable Guitar Multi-effects Processor Effect Pedal 15 Effect Types 40 Drum Rhythms Tuning Function with Power Adapter (Grey)

I toasted my original unit (by accidentally plugging in the wrong power source) and ordered a new one right away. I have three pedal boards with high end pedals. For convenience, when I simply want to plug in and play with headphones - this is so handy I can’t recommend it enough. It has a every kind of distortion you would want, a very nice clean patch, good reverb, and good modulation effects. The presets are useful as are the tone and gain knobs. In essence, when you want to enjoy some playing time without all of the hardware and amplifier rigging - this keeps it simple and provides hours of personal guitar - or bass playing pleasure!

First things first, this is not a serious piece of gear for an experienced player. It's for beginners, but that doesn't mean it can't be fun for $30. A beginner on a budget can get a lot of sounds out of this, and it's great for practicing while wearing headphones... no amp needed! It's fairly intuitive to learn to operate, which is good because it comes without any instructions. Plug in the power supply (or 2 AAA batteries) then plug in your guitar and start playing. I'll start with the MOD (modulation) effects (chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo) which all work surprisingly well and have a decent range of adjustments in sweep rate. the chorus (CH) is just ok, but the flanger (FL) and phaser (PH) sound great, especially on the slowest sweeps. the trem (TR) isn't my style, but it was huge in the 60s if you play those oldies, and it sounds good here. Now the ambient (DLY/REV) effects (delay, echo, room & hall reverb) which are ok. the delay sounds a bit too artificial for me, the echo is a little better. the hall reverb (knob pegged) adds a big, full depth to the sound. Nice. There is a TONE knob, basically a single-band eq. It works. The DRIVE and GAIN knobs work together. The DRIVE knob has 6 settings (roughly in ascending order of aggressiveness): CL (clean), OD (overdrive), DS (distortion) CR (crunch), FZ (fuzz), and MT (metal). All sound very different and offer a wide range of tones. I've never been a fan of fuzz distortion, but this one is surprisingly smooth and rich. It's really fun! All these setting work with the GAIN knob, which sweeps from clean to very heavy gain, increasing the level of distortion. There is also a tiny overlooked button to the left of the power, called "cab. sim." which shapes the sound to mimic a speaker cabinet. Use it. It would be nice if it had several options, but not at this price. The VOL is not a knob, but a tiny wheel embedded near the Power and Cab Sim switches on the top side of the device. I couldn't find it immediately and it's awkward to adjust, but that's a minor issue. The built-in drum machine has 40 preset patterns, some of which serve as a metronome, my sole reason for buying this in the first place. Great for home practice. Press and hold to activate the TUNER, which is very handy and works fine. The body is molded plastic, but that's ok since this has a belt clip and isn't a stomp pedal. I can't vouch for the ruggedness of it, but it doesn't feel too flimsy. Of course this is no $1200 Line6 Helix but still has loads of great sounds and options. It's worth it to me for the drum machine and metronome alone. Anyone buying a first guitar for themselves or as a gift should strongly consider including this fun gadget. And parents, you'll love the fact that your little future rock star can play until their eardrums bleed without deafening the neighbors :) Recommended.

Great tone for a small price. The chorus effect is beautiful with the clean tone. The distortion ranges from slight bluesy to extreme metal mayhem. The reverb sim includes a vintage spring effect. This plus a small powered speaker with a 1/8 input and you have a little amp. Great!

I bought this, the effect are so so like you’d expect. It’s ok for practice purposes but the problem imo is it’s not loud enough. You can plug a mp3 player into it and play along but the volume on guitar and the audio barely loud enough to make it usable. I don’t recommend it and should have returned for a better unit

arrived in 3 days. exactly what was listed on the Amazon website. add some fun to your guitar practice. good sounds with tuner and drum beats built in. Worth the $$$.

Works as described

It has hundreds of different settings even a drum setting! It can run on batteries and a outlet. You can also use headphones. The only con about this item is it sometimes turnes off automaticly.

It sounds great and I love the ability to use aaa batteries
