Really Well Built, No OD, Distortion , or Fuzz, Can't Install App
This is really well built - it's got a metal casing and feels like you could throw it in a bag, and then plug it directly into a PA as it has also got an IR loader.I like the build quality, I like the fact it has a built in rechargeable battery, but can be powered "live" with a power bank (and comes with a USB type C cable to charge it), it has way more input & output options than I need (and comes with a 3.5mm cable, so you can plug in external music source).It has a bit of a learning curve - the manual isn't the best, and I had to play with it to understand it - essentially it has two modes - in preset mode, it allows you to move between the 36 memory slots, but you can't really change anything - so you need to prepare all your presets in advance, and then practice flipping between them.There are 9 banks of 4 - press two footswitches on right to go up a bank, or the two on the left to go down a bank, then press the footswitches to switch between the four presets in each bank.If you want to tweak it, you need to go into "live" mode, which you do by pressing the two middle footswitches together, twiddle the knobs to update the preset as you like, and then press the A, B, C, or D footswitch to save in that preset.In terms of the range of effects, there's a one knob noise gate, compression, amp model selection with eq, modulation (chorus, phaser, and pitch), time based effects (delay, reverb, or delay + reverb).My biggest criticism, is that none of the amps go that gainy, and with no fuzz or overdrive, this is limited to pretty clean tones.It's also quite noisy, and the noise gate isn't the best, so I'd suggest using it in tandem with compression as it works better with less dynamics.The amp & cab models sound good, but. . .It's possible to use a mobile app to edit everything, but the app isn't in the Google Play Store, but I was able to find it in the iPhone App Store.It's quite neat, and nice to visualise, but frustratingly, when editing the time & modulation based effects, where there are multiple effects available, it colour codes the different effects, but doesn't show the name of the active one - it's not a massive issue, as you can hear, but still an annoyance.Overall I do like this, but lack of fuzz / overdrive / distortion is the biggest issue for me, closely followed by it being pretty noisy when the gain is increased. If they're not issues for you, I think you'll also like this.

A Little Clunky but Decent
I think if you're new to your creative outputs this will be harder than some pedals to get the best out of initially but if you know what you're doing you can get to grips with it and work around the less than perfect app to get some really good sounds out of it. Used with confidence it has a lot for potential and good creative options but it could be made simpler to use, hence four stars. Otherwise great!
