Ease of Use
:
10
This is a 4 channel digital 31 band eq + comp/limiter + delay + hpf & lpf. It is EXTREMELY easy to use. There's a large lcd screen with a very intuitive interface. The best thing about it is that all the functions are available for each effect, with tons of buttons for on the fly adjustment. There are no tricky sub-menus to deal with. This is a great live piece.
Sound Quality

The sound is superb! I use channels 1-3 for monitor mix eq, and the 4th channel between my Mesa Formula direct out & the mixing board. It's quieter than any analog eq, and it sounds consitent gig after gig. It uses 24-bit convertors & 24-bit DSP, but from the sound of it you'd thing it was a vintage tube eq. It sounds warm when you accidentally clip it.

This is the best eq around period. It's pricey, but worth every penny. I highly recommend it.
