The swiss army knife of multi-fx units
The unit seems very sturdy, the screen is clear and concise, versatility is stratospheric with separate usb c ports for charging and data, bluetooth connectivity for audio pass thru and patch editing - all this works flawlessly with the free Soniclink app on my phone.For practice at home, backstage noodling, onstage pre soundcheck noodling with headphones or IEMs on this is completely game changing, no more annoying band members with noisy playing, the fx, amp sims sound great to my ears.For small gigs and quick rehearsals I can just bring the pocket master along, with the easy editing and patch functionality I can rustle up sounds in no time, in rehearsals if we need to listen to phone based audio, just link up to bluetooth and problem solved.I can't believe I waited so long to get this, high quality at such a low price it's such a no-brainer!

Great sounding amd great value
This sounds great to my ears. I'm using it with keyboards not guitar. The output is stereo so you can just plug in a pair of headphones for practice. It's got a built-in tuner (which is useful) and a looper which give you about 10 seconds of looping time (so will not replace a dedicated looper). You also get a simple metronome built in.The effects sound really good, and there is a lot to choose from, and you can move quite a lot of them around in the signal chain although Drive, Amp, IR, and EQ are in a fixed block.You can edit all the effects directly on the pedal (with a little bit of menu diving). It's fairly straightforward but a bit fiddly. The good thing is that you can download an app to a computer/IOS/android and edit it from a phone or tablet using Bluetooth. This is very handy and is easy to set up. You can also download 5 user IRs and NAM files for the Amp (although when using NAM files you lose the IR module - as it's probably too much of a strain on the CPU). There's a website that offers free IRs and NAM files called Tonehunt.You can also use this as a sound card for your computer - although I've not used this yet.It's powered by a built in rechargable battery which can be charged by USB-C.It's tiny, but that's part of its charm. It's well worth the money and is a third of the price of comparable multieffects pedals.I liked it so much that I ordered on for my best friend's 50th birthday.

A good pedal board in a box
Great LITTLE multi effects system, funcions well through headphones, amp or computer. each preset contains effects, amp models and is customisable. contains presets for guitar and bass, rechargable battery is good for 4 to 6 hours constant use. Takes minutes to begin using but is customisable enough to take days to fully explore. small enough to fit in your pocket, one of the best multi effects boxes ive used, great value for money. Okay so nothing is perfect, the tabs take getting used to and the drum machine only works as a metronome unles connected to a computer and the screen icons need good sight or glasses,also the bluetooth is incoming only.

The best practice tool, with little flaws.
Great practice tool with rechargable battery. Using for both guitar and bass. App is easy to use. Battery is not lasting as advertised, more like 1hr or so. There're no internal drum loops, only meteonome. Drum tracks are in the app and playing from your phone, not the device. Also the white version looks like off white with brown buttons on photos but actually it's plain white with red buttons! Off white brown could've been a good option! Strap clip is very handy but difficult to see the screen when clipped. Overall a mighty little device with great sounds but a few features could've been better such as drums.

Hit's the spot.
Over the years I've had many boxes like this all the way back to the original Korg Panadora and onwards through the various Pandora versions they made. They were all great in their own way. This doesn't move the concept on massively except in a few areas - smaller size and the inclusion of bluetooth and a built in battery.All my old headphone practice amps needed an audio cable from whatever backing source you might be playing with, but with this unit streaming wirelessly from my phone is now open to me. A huge plus.You'll still need to plug your guitar in, obviously, but that's it. The unit comes with a robust grip clip so you can attach the unit to your guitar strap. Plug in and you're good to go. The small size means menu diving is the order of the day to change parameters on the patches (of which there are plenty built in) but that's part of the fun to set up your sounds. For the price this is ridiculous value.There's built in drum tracks to play and a metronome, all the things you'd expect. These are decent quality and more than adequate for a little practice device like this. Any shortcomings (say slightly fiddly menus, small screen etc) seem pointless to mention as what else do I expect of a device this small?The performance per £ is off the chart really. I have some nice amps at home but unless I actually wanted to be heard this is what I would reach for every single time.

Good but needs more for Bassists
This works well.Limited programming on the drum patterns, which you can really only access via the phone app.Also I bought this to use with my bass, and there's about four bass amp sounds, tweakable and nice, but nowhere near what's available for guitar.Solidly built and easy to navigate.More bass needed, but the bass bits are nice.Good value for money and decent effects at this price point.

Great value for money
At the price you simply cannot complain about this unit. More and more I object to downloading yet another app on my phone to be able to use a unit like this and, whilst it does have an accompanying app which does make it easier to programme you don't HAVE to use it.The sounds are great and it's like having a pedalboard in your pocket!
