I own well over 100 pedals, and this is one of the best pedals of the last 20 years. It's a time machine into the 80s. Some misconceptions about this pedal, which I will straighten out... 1. You do NOT need to pay for more downloads. This comes with 16 (8 on it + free 8 downloads). 2. You do NOT need to fear "micro-transactions" because you are not forced to buy anything else. You get to keep 16 forever. 3. You can NOT find these *exact* 16 pedals in any multifx unit, and they all sound superb. 4. This is NOT a traditional multifx unit, so no point in comparing it to other brands. 5. This is in a perfect Boss compact size format, unlike most multifx units; 6. Looks and sounds fantastic I'm considering a second one because it's the perfect "swiss army knife" pedal for a studio, or jam board. Read more
