Being able to get modulation/delay/reverb effects all at once is a
"plus" for all of us who have amps with no FX in them. Using a bunch of
Boogie, Bogner, Fuchs & others with FX loops: this is a superb
piece of gear. Whether you have active or passive PU's, or single coils
or buckers: it makes no difference. The reverb changes character as you
turn it up (hall to arena) as do the other items. The modulation
effects are all good across the board, and the delay is surprisingly
nice. The two 12AX7's certainly make it warm and rich. Added ability to
use midi or on-board programs makes it even more valuble. A well
thought out unit that delivers the goods.

This is where the product really shines. It is without question the
greatest sounding effects processor I have ever heard, bar none. The
reverb is lush and transparent. No weird sounding artifacts. The delays
and chorus sounds are beautiful. The tubes warm everything up and just
give great sound. I couldn't be happier. In fact, I think I'm going to
buy another just for the reverb on my vocal mic.

I've been eagerly waiting for this product for over 6 months and it
finally arrived. I had one in my greedy hands during the first week
after it hit the market. It now has the premier spot on my pedalboard.
I am using it for both acoustic guitar and electric.
