I dont like it , To me its the one EHX I really just couldnt get with ,


Try it you may like it , I didnt.


I just couldnt get any usable sounds for my taste.

 

 

yeah the whole "multi-fx" thing it has about it makes me nervous...I'm really just looking for a decent trem and verb. I don't use them often so having something that can do both decently for a good price would be perfect. If anything else sounds good then that's just a plus for me

I had one but traded it with a forumite here for a SD Tweak Fuzz which I liked even less. It is an odd pedal, in a sort of cool way, but what I think was most odd about it is that combines effects like fuzz which I keep out front, and pitch shift and tremolo that I would keep in the effects loop, but I couldn't decided where to put this pedal. I probably should have tried it in the effects loop. I guess ultimately i like pedals that do one thing, and do it well.

I got mine for $40 used. I bought it to use for vocals - which I do, but I also bring it home from my practice studio to doodle around with guitar, sounds really good, the od is crap but the fuzz is pretty tasty, wasn't expecting that.

 

The reverb is awesome, I wonder if it is the Holy Grail sound engine...you have control over the wet/dry and decay so its almost like a HG+

 

Tremolo is really good, as a little reverb bit in the tremolo to give it more space, pitch shifter is fun too.

 

Basically if you can get one for a good price it's worth it in my opinion.

I had one for awhile. It wasn't bad little pedal ... but trying to fit a multi-ish FX box into a normal stomp rig is tough. I sold it and (eventually) got a Mayo, an RV-3 and a Semaphore. Isolated all the good stuff and couldn't be happier.

 

As far as the pedal goes, it's pretty easy to get good tones out of.

 

The verb is rather Holy Grail-ish.

The trem is pretty good.

IMO, the detune is only good for divebombs or slight chorusy stuff.

The distortion is basic.

The fuzz is actually pretty good.

 

Not a bad little pedal ... but it wasn't for me.
