Looks and sounds pretty impressive for $200.

Seems to be a compact pedal version of a spruced up Katana with IR loading.

I've just been watching demos...it certainly sounds good on YouTube. The price is nice, and it could be a great answer for those of us that hate menu diving. I'm intrigued, would like to get my hands on one.

It looks pretty awesome for the price. One of the demos I saw said something to the effect of "It sounds great as long as you're not trying to compare it to a $1600 unit and take it for what it is". If I didn't have too much shit as it is I'd probably get one just to leave in my bag.

I've watched some demos. I'm contemplating it but might wait to see what the used prices are in a month or two.

Does the hardware have any affect on the IR's in these units or is an IR an IR no matter where it's coming from? I don't know much about IR's.

I think that the IR is more important than the hardware it’s loaded into—except where latency or reliability comes into play

I spent a lot of time watching videos on this and some other stuff and ended up buying a ToneX pedal tonight. This seems great but I want to have three sounds I can switch between and I’m curious about the profiling or whatever they call it.

Looks like a great backup for gigs. Two channels and a loop...
