Dreadbox ARTEMIS 6V Reviews

$1500 For Laughably Horrid Components

Rated 2 out of 5

I've Owned Two Of These And Both Of Them Had Uniquely Ridiculous Hardware Issues. First One Out Of The Box Had A Flickering Screen, Sent It Back For An Exchange And The New Replacement Had An Encoder That Would Skip Past Presets Or If You Landed On A Preset You Liked, Would Randomly Just Shift To Something Else In The Middle Of Playing. Turning The Encoder Would Randomly Cause It To Not React Or It Would Suddenly Jump Forward Or Backward. Landing On A Specific Preset Was Like Carnival Game. In The Attached Video Watch The Preset "Sky High", Notice How I Can Never Land On It? This Happens Constantly. Awfully Big Price Tag For Something With Such Garbage Quality Control.
