This is my first effects box and it really was easy to set up and use. There are more effects on this box than anyone could ever need. It seemed cheaply made but for the price you can't beat it!I would recommend this box for anyone starting out.
It May Be The Best

It Is a little too soon for Me to make a conclusion yet because I have Not messed with It enough. I have a Digitech GSP 2101 that just recently quit working right, I also have a Digitech GNX3000 which I did Not think was enough for the money & Its power supply went out It requires a massive power supply. I wanted to try something else something cheap knowing that good quality does Not always mean high price also until I could get enough separate effect boxes to do everything I wanted to do, But I Am beginning to think This DeltaLab DGFX1 will do It all. It Is the easiest and fastest Guitar processor to program just turn the left dial to the effect You want then push down on the right dial and turn the right dial to set the level then press the store button give It a Name then press the store button again Its that Easy, At first I thought this Is No good Not being able to set the level of the effect until I found It pushing down on the right dial. The Sound that I can Not tell You much about yet It seems to Me the Digitech GNX3000 had a better Acoustic simulator but for now that's Not a fact. The Over drive I just bought a Danelectro Fab D-1 which Sounds just like some of the more expensive Over drive distortion effect which Is a muddy Sound but one of The DGFX1 Amp setting has more of a present glassy Sound of a Tube pre-amplifier but I use a ART Tube powered pre-amplifier In front along with a Danelectro Fab flanger and It Sounds very good. Then there Is the delay and reverb and got a canyon type echo It has so much delay I kept setting It back. I did Not mess with the Wah much maybe It needs some adjustment but did Not Sound very good but I recommend a separate Wah pedal anyway so You do Not wear the pedal out too soon. It has a plastic case Not metal but I do Not think It will break unless You jump on It. I was going to get all separate effect pedals but Now I Am thinking twice & save the money which I need for emergencies to say the least, I know Musicians want separate effect pedals because If something goes wrong Its cheap just to unplug a box and put In a new one but at this price You can afford a back up Guitar processor.
surprisingly easy to use

Just bought one of these puppies to replace my old zoom pedal. I must say that it was extremely easy to understand and begin programming. I was creating patches in no time and had some great sounds pouring outta this baby. I am an older guy and not very technically savvy, so this says alot. I bought this because I finally killed my zoom (also a great pedal) after 3 yrs of heavy play. I was programming more with the easy to use interface of the DiltaLab within 20 mins. than I ever did in 3 yrs with the zoom. I play about 2 nights a weeks in a couple of bars and I just show up with my guitars and plug straight into the P.A. I have a Marshall half-stack, but don't like lugging it around to small gigs like that. This pedal will allow me to continue showing up with my guitar and just plug and play. The acoustic simulator is astounding on this pedal and shocked my son who only plays classical guitar. It is not the best thing since sliced bread, but for the money it is a very good bargain. I will say this, it IS a good thing that the unit is so easy to use because the manual is not very informative. All in all it is a lot of fun to use, easy to tweak and has a corny built-in drum machine that helps keep you on beat if you don't have a drummer to practice with regularly. I will be buying one more for my son. He has decided to play some gigs with me because he digs the pedal so much. I would recommend this unit to a friend.
great buy!

This pedal replaces all the other Deltalab Pedals and more. Clean sounding, not rinky dink, not the absolute best either.
All the features of the most popular inividual pedals in one.
Instructions could be better.
Good sturdy plastic shell w/real metal stomp buttons!
Pops twice when I turn it on w/volume up.
No true "bypass" but I made some patches bypass by choosing the bypass selection on all the features.
From clean tweed jazz the Insane line-6 Metal,
it's got it all, no worries here!
Good goin D/L!
