It's a steal for the price. You can't complain.
I actually bought this one as a gift for my nephew, but it is the EXACT same model branded "Pogo" that I use myself primarily for teaching and late night practice, purchased a couple years ago. So small and convenient! You can even clip it onto a thick guitar strap and it won't go anywhere.How many times have you listened to a guitar on an album and heard some neat effects, but can't dream of buying a slew of $100+ FX pedals, plus countless patch cables and battery solutions? Are you completely overwhelmed by the features and prices of multi-effect pedals? Screw all of that for now! Enjoy the sounds of all your favorite guitarists for a fraction of the cost!You cannot beat the price for the load of features this thing brings. Like my other model, it runs quietly on AAA batteries (use rechargeable, as they only last a couple hours, and yes it does have a low battery warning but you literally have a minute before it turns off). Using the AC adaptor will bring some extra noise.The effects are a bit "extreme", but use a gently touch and "less is more" for some of the crazier flanger/phaser/delay settings.Honestly, combined with a cheap tube preamp (like a Behringer with a Russian tube added), and a Boss noise suppressor, this thing will get you through a gig if you have a free hand to operate it. I've gone to a gig with these items, plus a ZT Lunchbox amp and my Ibanez RG470, and COMPLETELY FLOORED the audience. No need to drag along my huge and heavy Boss GT pedalboard unless I need a wah/whammy/volume pedal.My student wants to learn some Van Halen? Guess my pocket effects processor is coming along! Instant "Ain't Talkin' Bout Love" or "Eruption", anyone?The "cab simulator" switch should almost always be on, BTW, unless you're trying to record with it and want it SUPER DRY.For late night practicing, the array of drum patterns and other features rivals my old Casio keyboard. It sounds "cheap", but it beats the staleness of a metronome and actually helps you stay in the pocket of a real drum rhythm.Twenty years ago I had a DOD (Digitech's budget model) pedal that sounded like crap in comparison, and it was $250. I've since upgraded to many other solutions, but I'm floored that this thing holds up well.This is a GREAT stocking stuffer, or gift for any time of year! It also works for acoustic guitars with a 1/4" output and basses. Just playing with headphones with a touch of the crazy reverb makes you want to practice for hours. Plus the convenient tuner keeps you going at the press of a button, and works better than my phone apps.Don't get suckered into buying something expensive. Try this first! It's not a quantity-over-quality solution, it's just a cheap solution to many questions. If you want to get more fussy with your effects down the line, let this be your stepping stone. You'll be very surprised.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Hooked! Way to much fun. Got my monies worth in the first few days. Seems pretty durable. The best part is I can play rock star without driving my wife and kids nuts :-)

Surprisingly Good and Way Fun
I travel often and originally wanted a multi-effects pedal for practicing and recording demos on the road. I stumbled onto this on Amazon. For under $35, this thing is just a riot to play with. The guitar effects options are not only decent, some of them are really good. I could easily pull off a show with no one guessing I was playing through something that looks like a toy. On top of the surprisingly good sounds, there are the drum options. It is so much fun to practice and write tunes with these rhythm settings. Beats the hell out of a click track. I include a screenshot the list of drum options.On top of a bunch of electric guitar pedal sims and drum patterns, is a selection of reverb delays and room options. And again, they sound from decent to surprisingly good. Like I said. This thing is a riot. No need to compare it to serious equipment, but in a pinch, you could have great fun impressing an audience with no one the wiser.Finally, the PockRock has some presetting storage options. And it has a belt clip built into the back. So I'm working on programming it and figuring out how to work with it in a live setting.Get one, for goodness sake. Even if you just want to use the headphone output (did I mention that!?) for practice.

I found that the effects/mods on the PockRock are good enough on their own
I've had this PockRock on my wish list for a while, but never ordered it because I also have the Digitech Trio Band Creator pedal and the comparable Vox amPlug portable headphone amp. Well, I ordered and received the grey PockRock and man was I surprised at how well this little multi-effects processor sounds (especially through headphones). The mods, effects, gain and tone paired with the six different drives gives you plenty of sound variations to mess around with...Anything from clean to trippy outer space stuff. Add in one of the 40 different drum beats, adjust the rhythm and tempo to your liking, and your ready to start jamming!I've used the PockRock as a stand alone unit, but also have ran it through my pedal board with various other pedals. I found that the effects/mods on the PockRock are good enough on their own, so I mostly just run it through my noise gate and looper pedals and out to the amp and the results sound great. If using alone with headphones for quiet practice without the AC adapter, it does go through batteries faster than the Vox amPlug though, but worth it due to the many more options available on the PockRock. I feel with all the effects/mods/drives and drums choices this offers, you really can't beat it, especially for price!...Highly recommend!

Great Little Device
This is quite the little package of dynamite. A great gadget that gives guitarists many options in one compact device. The PockRock has a great delay and echo mode. There's also several effects settings, like overdrive and distortion, that let you play around until you find the sound you seek. With 40 drum rhythms, you are able to play along in many different genres. There's even an electronic tuner in this package. The price cannot be beat. There were some of these around in the 1980's, but at considerably higher prices. This one here is perfect for those looking to experiment with sounds without the hassle of buying multiple pedals. And it's small enough to carry in your pocket.

Pésimo producto
A los pocos minutos de uso se calienta y se funde. Se solicitó la reposición o el reembolso, el proveedor al principio contestó y después ya no contestó, perdimos nuestro dinero. No recomendable

Fue un regalo y ha funcionado muy, muy bien, lo recomiendo ampliamente.No le estoy dando 5 estrellas por la calidad del material del que está hecho que se ve algo frágil, de ahí en fuera funciona a la perfección.
