Have one on order ????????
The worst thing about this product is its hard to find, I HATE it when that happens with a new cheap piece of gear
Can't get my phone and GP5 to recognise each other, so haven't been able to edit or create any patches, just using presets. Also bought a Chocolate Plus midi footswich to change patches, banks etc… easily, but until my phone or tablet can control the pedal, there's no point.
Can you stack drive or delay blocks?
Sold out…
I almost bought a ampero mini. I'll stick with this for a while i guess until headrush mx5 is available in my region
Seems tempting ???? I may need to check this thing out..where did you buy yours Tony??
Hi. Does the delay has subdivisions? Could you tap the tempo? Thanks for the video
Sounds incredible…I remember having to mow 1000 lawns to get a crappy Peavey amp, kids today can blow that away with a stocking stuffer…sorry if I sound like a grumpy old man, I don’t mean to…great stuff Tony????
You forgot the usb midi support, which makes it a completely beast!
Plug it in with a M Vave Chocolate Plus and you actually have a mini rig!
Are there any fuzz pedals on this unit?
0:55 "..drums" ??
It s sounds very good,,, I have the same unit haven't tried it yet.
Lot of great sounds from such a small device!
Tony, do you know if this will work under a Windows 7 operating System?
