Review: It's meant to played with - Lots been said about this little box. Very good, used judicuously. I think the distortion options are limited and too destructive. It's digital, and brittle, but loads of fun sent on to other fx. If people moan about the build quality, buy a hard case for it Don't take it on a European tour of cramped hipster cafés and everything will probably work out.
Review: Would buy again - Great bit of kit. The effects are top notch with plenty of parameters to change. The ability to buy new effects is wonderful. Great value for money. Stereo in and out makes it a great combo with synths.

Run from powerbank or experience noise issues, which is the case for most usb powered audio devices. Otherwise it’s more than great. Korg did something well which actually surprised me 😂
