The bright LCD screen and LED buttons ensure user-friendly navigation and setup.

With an integrated stereo speaker system pumping out 10W per channel, it lets you hear the music no matter where you are. Choose from 148 effects variations for the four stereo multi-effects processors—two for the selected style and two for the current sound—to enhance your performances.
