It's the simplest multi effect you could think of, actually more like several pedals stuck together in the same case. No program or nothing.
It has a killer 10 band EQ, decent modulations, delay, limiter/enhancer and a distortion with a blend.
Enough to cover the basics and a very decent quality.
However it shouldn't be expensive, roughly $100.

It's a bit hissy and it's old plastic so reliability may be an issue, depending on how well the previous users took care of it.
