Hello! it's very interesting - does anybody tried to use this toy?

Yes - I have one that I use as a quick and cheap effect box for my synths. Very serviceable reverbs and delays. I haven't yet tried the amp modeling, though. For $60 (IIRC), well worth it.

Yeah....no thanks. The effects are just meh.....and really an afterthought. There are much better fx available in hardware and software. The Pocket Master was not designed as a multi fx unit. It was designed as a NAM profile player.....the effects are just icing on a poorly baked cake. First off...it's cheap plastic. I don't put plastic on my pedal board. Finally, it's not even a proper NAM player as it converts, (and SHRINKS the size and quality of the files). I have a friend that owns both it and the M-Vave Black Box. He A/B'd the two and the Black Box won. It's enclosure and footswitches are sturdy steel, it also has onboard FX, (again not the greatest), imports IRS, and while it doesn't play NAM files directly, it has a dedicated website where you can download captures and also automatically convert NAM files to M-vave's own format. All that being said I choose the Black Box myself.....and I'm glad I did. :D
