Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: bass/guitarist, keys

Reviewer's Play Style: what i like

It makes my 7-string guitar's bass sound like a bass guitar. Comparing it with my guitars single effects pedals it is either as good or almost as good (hard to tell since they're for guitar and lack the bass). There are around 10 channels for each effect, and it is very versitile. Tremolo could last a little longer but the others seem very good. It is easy to program, and although it doesn't come with a manual, the letters of the effects are underlined so one can tell which effect they're on. One downfall is that it is hard to tell how effects were individually copied on a track with a few effects.
