I've tried a lot of processors and this is one the best in the price range. Sound output and tones are comparable (and sometimes better than) to boss and line 6 processors from the range of 50k. Seriously, this thing is heavy and yet subtle. Play metal or blues, it delivers. Go for it.Only cons being, it doesn't have a metal body and the input jack position is too close to power input (buy a good insulated cable for input or else you'll hear a hum).
