Well this product performs very well for its price. I paid about $65 and got what I paid for. It's easy to use etc. but makes static noise every time you go from playing softly like it has a noise gate that creates the sound and then muffles it. From time to time it just breaks and makes it more static. Even if you're just playing with friends, it can be unacceptably destructive. Do you plan to play live? Then don't even think about it! I replaced it with a $150 product that sounds perfectly clear and clean. If you want good sound, you have to pay more.
