Reviews

Feature:
The product included the plug in. The most useful features are the few effects it has. I find it not to be the best machine as far as recording guitar. I've used a lot of Fostex machine and I automatically assumed that this would be similar. I should have studied up more on the damned thing. I will not buy another Fostex product primarily because THEY DON'T ANSWER MY EMAILS.

Quality:
I don't trust Fostex "quality" at all anymore.

Value:
No

Desirability:
A machine having sex appeal? That's an illogical stance unless you are listening to Zappa's excellent "Joe's Garage".

Sound:
Sound quality is an issue to me. This machine has very limited effects and their instructions are vague as all hell. I have sent them repeated emails WITHOUT ANY RESPONSE. I'd really like to tap into and record through my multieffects unit. Their explanation in their book is not good enough. It simply doesn't work. I wanted to find out about using an external mixer. I NEVER GOT AN ANSWER. I prefer setting my own eqs.

Ease of Use:
It's easy enough, but not easy to use with other products.

Support:
Fostex better start dealing with their customers or they aren't going to have any.

Overall:
This will be replace.
