Very impressed for a budget unit.
I switched of all the EQ and guitar simulations and just started with reverb. sounds good not grainy.
Drum machine is pointless. Presets are rubbish. create your own easily.
Using with Gibson Chet Atkins CEC and Yamaha Compass through an AER Compact 60 combo.

I use a Martin elictric acoustic and get some great sounds out of this thing. There are some very funky sounds that would probably sound better with and electric. I am gonn try it with one. Not noisy at all. The first dufus who rated this obviously has no idea what he is doing. Ones? C'mon, read the manual if you know how.

Not very easy at first, but the manual helps.
The visor has little information.

I was expecting a lot more from zoom, effects on this device are a joke compared with similar devices like magicstomp. They say it's a 96khz 24bit device but I think this is not true, it sounds like 32khz 16bit and it hads noise to the effects. The only way you can use this, is in bypass mode, but why would you have it for that?

I play celtic, folk and fingerpicking for over 15 years as a professional and would't buy this if I tried that. I bought it only to try out.
