I had my expectations pretty standard considering this is on the cheaper side of modelers, but I like the Harley Benton brand and wanted something physical to mess with instead of plugins all the time. This outperformed my expectations, now don't think it's perfect out of the box, it took me about 4 hours to figure out everything to get a good sound. But now with that knowledge I can get a good sound pretty easily for any genre. Alot of the onboard cabs are pretty good, and you can load IRs into the product as well. Overall, great product I think. Only downfall for me personally is not being able to how more than 1 of the same type of effect, which I hope they might be able to add in a future update. But overall I think it's worth what I paid.
