Good Points: Nice variety of monophonic analog synth emulations. Settings can vary from very mellow to acerbic. Stores presets and has a great deal of tweakability. Sounds positively evil fed into the right fuzz. True bypass, so it won't interfere with oscillating fuzzes and other pedals that can be sensitive to various bypass types when it is disengaged. Tracking glitches can be interesting with certain settings.
Bad Points: Friggin' huge! Only runs on AC power. Can't track chords, most intervals, or notes pitched above the 7th fret of the high E string on a standard-tuned electric guitar.
