Ease of Use
:
8
Like the manual (not much of one) says, u cant buy it one afternoon and use it in a gig that night. There are 3 knobs: blend, fine and shift. plus there is a filter on/off switch. Its really not that hard to figure out how to operate. They should have put in a better manual, 6 short paragraphs just doenst cut it.
Sound Quality

im playing a les paul ->wah->Boss SD1-1-> Boss DS1->Boss DD3->EH5000->Digitech digiverb->marshall 50DFX. this unit is fairly quiet, not noisy at all. I dont know any artists that uses this. Overall the sound quality is rather interesting. U have to get an aquired taste for this, it only took me about 5 min and i feel madly and deeply in love with this. At lower setting, u can get an octave sound. At higher settings u get a more wild bell tone sound..mixed with delay and chorus or phaser or flanger adds a kick ass sound. I think the sound it makes is close to a synth/MOOG church bell tone.

the casing is metal. its seems pretty sturdy. thought the bottom is made of plastic, i hope it holds up.

i like to play all types of music, but i mainly like to play a toolesque type style. but im starting to add more experimental peices in my music..this definatley adds that, i think im gonna get the electro-harmonix microsynth next. if it were stolen i would find the guy who stole it and steal the $148 from him and re-purchase it.
