I'd have to say that this little box is a lot of fun and is probably one of
my favorite pieces of gear right now. I know that the effects aren't the
best, none of them allow you to adjust the parameter far enough to really
butcher a sound. despite the mediocrity of the effects, the interface more
than makes up for it. I mean its not too expensive, so what'd you expect?
As for recognition, some of the effects do lend to a certain style of use,
but its all in what source sound you use and how drastically you use the
effect. It does have a screwy in and out set up. (you get two rca's in (1
phono 1 line) and 1 1/4" in, and a switch to select which input it takes.
Out you have 1 rca and 1 headphone that work simulataneously (great if you
want to play with a closed loop, i nearly broke an eardrum this way). And
there are a few effects i haven't seen elsewhere (although it could be i
don't get out much). The "step effects" are a lot of fun, as instead of a
smooth lfo to adjust a parameter of a flange or phase its blocky, sounds
like an arpeggio... Basically for the price it can't be beat, but don't
expect it to move mountains, it just lets you quickly spice up a track or
two not instantaneously become an idm star...
