Hi, thanks for your input. If I buy it, will be my first time to use multi effect. Not sure if it is difficult to use... any comments ?

It's pretty easy to use. Perfect for first time multi effects users. I have a hard time with it sometimes because of my big feet, but for the price, it's worth it. Spend some time and you can get some nice sounds that aren't too over the top. The owner's manual is valuable. Don't throw it away.
One more thing...if you use the de-fretter effect with a fretless bass, the universe will collapse into itself. Have fun.

I used a BP80 for a while. For the price it's an outstanding little box.
I however disliked the BP200 that sounded thin to me.

I have the BP80, and it has a ton of low-end effects. Best parts are the amp models and wah, though the 50 doesn't have the actual pedal, i think, can't remember.

Be mindful that all the effects are budget effects though. Don't go in there expecting EHX quality. I got it to experiment with various sounds. Served its purpose, now it is collecting dust. I still occassionally play with the drum machine.

I have it... but it's collecting dust.

For whatever reason there seems to be a pretty big discrepency in volume between some of the pre-sets.

Like, if i'm just playing around with it, some of the presets are REALLY loud. Haha, my room mates will not let me play around with that pedal when they are home anymore

Some of the effects ARE pretty nice though. I've gotten some nice phaser/delay tones out of it.

Sold mine. Found I like single effect pedals better. The Drum machine was a cool feature though

For fiddling around with multi effects they're great, but like many others, mine is sitting in a box letting dust creep over it slowly.

Drum machine is the one effect to pull out, or when my mixing friends want a "trippy bass line at 130bpm" then I drag it out and turn on all the effects for them to go mix their little heart out.
