Résumé to the CHARACTERISTICS of A2, there are the effects ncessaires even a useful electro-acoustiquecompresseur destinies, rducteur noise, qualiseur, modulation, delay / reverb, anti-feedback) + 12 "modlisations" clbres guitar with a simulation of micro prampli lamp that gives more attack solo.On has 40 pRSET "user" and "4O Factory" ( is more than enough!) The connection is made between a guitar, a sound system or headphones (Y-cable for the stro required), an insert for the pedals CONTRL, (better to buy a little more A2.1u CHRE, of course, but it was the "all in one" with the pedals to enjoy the paramtrage effects), followed decision of the Food and switch. Let us not forget the tuner which I find, nevertheless, quite prcis and the small premium rates bote / mtronome (which is not so ridiculous that a! Well, it is true that sounds a bit "stiff" especially for patterns "latino".

UTILIZATION

The manual is quite explicit and handling rapide.En other hand, if we do not have much memory possde, like me, it is better to carry a pen and paper to record what each pRSET possibly giving it a name as represented (eg CLAPTON / LAYLA) as "B2 or 03" did a little naval battle! The edition of the sounds is quite simple: by simply turning a knob, we choose successively among those we intressent effects (in other custom settings with the buttons on the right) then users press the key "store" and the turn is played, however, for small BMOL rverbes and Dlay: it is cheese or dessert, not both at once!

SOUND QUALITY

I find the effects of good quality clean and well suited for electro remaining in the right dosages. IT IS almost no breath. The anti-feedback fulfills its rle when necessary. As for modeling, I like "GIBSON", Russian and quite a few types of "Gypsy" o found out the tone of this kind of guitars. For others, such as "nylon," he sounds too straight without musical or so you have to be limited only play on three strings dernires (bronze) has more going on (in case the 'was a folk). Personally, I bypass the "modlisations" because I like the sound still my little SEAGULL ... Let's say that, taken together, the simulations proposed are all usable condition to agrmenter a little effect (s). In the whole range, there may be a lack of simultaneous "banjo" ... And what else? a "sitar" ...

OVERALL OPINION

DCID I put myself to green (my color ftiche) with this little pedals about a month ago and I am glad trs. Before, I used the multi-effects for my electric, but the A2 is really Designed for electro. I was looking for something in particular compact (small) effects to vary with some other time of my electro sounds without dnaturer while removing the abrasive ct after branch PA (STAGPASS 300) : this was done with the A2. I have not tried other multi-effects the electro fates because there are not many: The KORG AX10A home and MAGIC STOMP ACOUSTIC YAMAHA home are more expensive and less r cents.ZOOM is a box with the pedals, however there is no so long dnicher A2 was scarce. Report qualitprix is ​​no competition! Ms. twice as much in this version, it would be t justifi.Je would do this choice is sr, but when same-always to the same price, should not be either maso !
