It too suffers from the problem of limiting you to two effects at a time (one from each category) which is a little annoying. I grabbed the footswitches as well, which (as you say) should have come with the unit. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

You can actually make your own footswitch just connect a guitar cable to a light switch and plug it in You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It should be a light switch that you can step on, so not one of theese: This works better: Then you take the two cables from inside the guitar cable and connect them so that when the switch is on, the two cables are connected to eachother. If you dont know how to do that, just use trial and error. Or you can get someone to do it for you. The one side of the switch should be pressed down all the time, so that it goes back to the position after you have pressed it. Just use a rubber band or something. Then plug it into one of the footswtich inputs on the amp You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

It contains 8 amps modeling which can make up beginner's mind up what they like. Personally, I love Mesa bookie!.. It contains 4+2 effects and indepent EQ. This a good choices for beginners. Second hand would be fine it's quite cheap to get to your pathway! QUOTE (erik @ Aug 6 2007, 03:56 AM) You just take a guitar cable and cut off one of the plugs with a knife.

The only thing is that most of the effects seem way too over powering even on the lower settings. But considering it's price I'd still have to give it a 9/10 though.

The metal sounds were good when i first got it however now that i've got a PODxt when i compare that to the amp sound it cannot compete at all but good for practicing.

On the tech side does the switch need to keep the circuit closed (or open) for the switching to take effect or just make momentary contact?
