I have a lot of fun with this pedal. It could be used to create some unique intros and transition pieces in a live show, and fiddling with the "rate" knob allows you to do some DJ-style stuff too. I enjoy the different modes and the option to make the "effect" sound and the natural "bass" sound either higher or lower to each other. A few things to keep in mind: This device puts out a preprogrammed sound to whichever of the 12 notes you play into it. So it doesn't make a difference what other pedal effects you put through it via input, or what instrument you play through it for that matter. (I use it on my guitar as well.) Also, my biggest hangup is that the effect sound is not very sensitive to playing many notes quickly, like in a solo for example. You have to hit the string very distinctly and long enough for the pedal to process each note. This disappointed me because I play prog/power metal and wanted this pedal to help me replace keyboard solos with my better bass playing. It does not respond quickly enough to do that. This pedal is a great showoff toy for my pedal board, and non-musical audience people will be mildly impressed, but it is not a necessity to my general sound. For the price, I would buy general pedals like EQ, condensor, chorus, and overdrive before this one. A fun device, but not an economic purchase for a musician on a tight budget when considering how much you might use it (unless you find a great deal on ebay of course!)Read full review
Really helps get that Dub Step sound! I use it with a compressor and Big Muff Pi Distortion and it sounds great! Gotta get the Roland Expression pedal with this so you can change the rate of the Wah type of effect.
I spent 2 hours just messing around with 2 of the different effects on this beast.. and there is way more to go! The bottom end is a little weaker but not much, still punches through. Not really for high speed play but it can be done, if done with the timing of the delay. Epic.

Buy an expression pedal...essential to opening up a much wider range of styles and controls. It busts into almost fuzz pedal dirty synth land, a wide range of very usable sounds. It won't track fast passages, but it really does what best lends itself to songs incredibly well. Good stuff.

Lots of the same type sounds but a few are indispensable. Fun to play with.
