Ease of Use
:
8
it is very easy to get a 'good' sound from the device. Editing is not so easy, the display is too small and the 'scroll system' could need more controls.
the manual is almost complete.
I don't know the revision number, it looks to be the first one thy made; anyway it never has been upgraded
Sound Quality
:
9
I am using several kind of equipment, it fits properly any kind of devices ( '60 strat; '70 Strat; active lace sensor telly/strat; PRS guitars; any LP and SG Gibson guitars; old European valve amp for p.a., '80 vox av 15 amp; silver fender from 135 bassman to 6 vibro champ.
yes ! It is really noisy, you must pay the roll,it needs a bit to be customised'. Maybe the best is to get a noise-gate. I don't use any hum suppressor because the device has enough 'dynamics'
Mostly I use fender silverface, the gsp 5 make them screaming.
I can get very quickly every sound I need, for my job is wonderful; very often the gsp let me to get the 'right recording' sound.
All the effect chain are good enough, maybe the digital distortion need a little time to be properly settled

Overall Rating
:
8
I play any style, usually I use the dsp 5 for rock/blues.
I've been playing from 1965 to date.
I use the alesis midiverb and the digitech 128 plus, sometimes when I need a little light reverb I bring with me the vocalist performer
