This pedal is great, to an extent. I do get what I want out of it and what I got it for, there are some drawbacks. It is very easy to use. It does follow through to that with which Korg has promised.

Alright here it is, like stated before the wah is complete crap. Don’t even use it. For the distortion, I would recommend that you use a different pedal or the foot switch to your amp. The reason being, is you’ll be super loud on the clean and then you switch to the distortion presets and it’s hard to get that same volume. The a/b switch is a good idea but what I do is just not use it for distortion, besides it leaves an extra bank for more effects and options on songs. I like all the effects, they are nice and it was way more cheap then buying them separate. I dislike the amps, they sound really manufactured, but if your amp is low quality then it could help you, but if you run through a nice amp with really good natural tone I find it only takes away. Just have to stop cause I could go on forever. Oh, there is a lot of time in between the switch of effects banks but you can learn how to switch so it goes on time you just have to work it.

Yeah it’s good. No complaints except I lost a knob, but that’s no big deal, it happens.

I love my Korg pedal. It saved me so much money on effects pedals that I would have only used for a few moments in songs. The programing is also one of the simplest I’ve seen with these floor pedals.

The sound is relatively good. With the distortion settings, I feel it’s hard to get an even balance of output from the different channels. Sometimes I feel that I can’t get rid of the low end. The wah pedal sound awful. The one thing I can’t stand is the transition time between channels. It’s like a half second of dead sound. Also you can’t just turn off the effect and go to your amps clean sound easily, so you better invest in an a/b box.

This thing is encased in a steel box. I feel very safe about transporting it to shows and practice. The knobs are the only drawback to the construction, I feel like I might kick them off someday.

Well it’s Korg. Almost all the effect are good quality except the wah pedal sucks, and the pedal has a manufacturing failure. The Korg is easy to set. After I bought it I was making good effects. The on/off button at the pedal has some problems — the thing can’t be turned off. But after some experiment I managed to fix it.

The effects are good. Athough the Wah pedal SUCKS. You can change any settings at all. The sound is good, noise on some amp simulators is high.

It has a steel case, no question about it. The product is solid but it’s starting to rust a few month after I bought it. The buttons can be accidently pulled off. And the screen is thin. Mine got scrached a few days after I bought it.
