(Beyond adjusting the dose of the effect on each channel, one can modulate the magnitude of the effect, for example the amplitude of a reverb or distortion of the (yes There's a distortion! ))
Also possible to have a +48 V phantom power supply of the XLR.
Each tract also has a switchable filter to remove low frequencies (<80Hz)

UTILIZATION

French manual YAMAHA available on the site. Clear and concise, with wiring diagram in the end pages for a more enlightened view of the interconnection.
Operation is very simple and requires no non-stop dive ds documentation.

SOUNDS

Sounds tip-top. No breath, except perhaps with the gain in depth, but really nothing to say.
The effects are realistic, simple and easy to use. I think 16 effects are appropriate and sufficient for the job I do)

OVERALL OPINION

I swapped a Behringer UB1002FX MG82CX against this and really it is day and night. UB1002FX frankly it's shit compared to the Yamaha.
Simple, indeed quite appropriate, sound instruments (Olympia OD10SCE, AEX500 Yamaha, Taylor 314CE) fully restored, well defined sound, no breath.

I really recommend the purchase even if it seems to have invested in a Tupperware box as it is "plastic".
I think you just have to be careful because it does not seem very robust .. To see ...
