Well, I went for it. I've had the device for a week or so now, and honestly I'm incredibly pleased with it. It'll fit my needs as a simple always-on dirt pedal but I can actually use a lot of the effects on the unit. The pass-thru USB-C for phone-in audio, headphone output, and tuner make this thing the ultimate at-home practice tool. I also feel like the suite of amp sims brought new life to instruments I don't often use, for example a U-Bass and a short scale. I get the best results with my American Jazz. A partscaster P-bass I recently put together is the only instrument I've tried that I didn't get stellar results from, however, when it's heavily distorted and I'm using the Grit or Punch amp settings it sounds perfect for hardcore, metal, or doom music. I will absolutely use this to track bass at home going forward because it beats fine tuning plug-ins, the tuner will help there too. These "it's great for beginners" comments should be taken with a grain or salt, unless they're solely focused towards people using sims. There are more than enough usable tools in this unit making it suitable for seasoned players. I've got multiple decades of experience under my belt, I've only ever needed some dirt, once in a great while a chorus, an octave, and when I played heavier music a phaser/fuzz for feedback and noise. This does all that and more. This product is great for folks who just want simplicity and don't want a ton of devices in their signal chain. It's built well and is easy to use. I'm happy with it.
