very decent DI especially for price. Includes a very basic compressor and distortion, I very much prefer to use separate pedals for those though. Noisegate is a pretty useful inclusion, especially when you play with distortion. Box is pretty sturdy, stomps easy to access, and knobs easy to navigate. I especially appreciate that it has a 4-band EQ with bass, lo-mid, hi-mid, and treble, as this is pretty important to me. Giving 4 stars only because I'm not a fan of the distortion and compressor, and while it has nice EQ functions it doesn't really add much personality. Still, for that price, it's very serviceable and would definitely recommend if you either don't use distortion / comp or are using separate pedals. I use it with a Deluxe Bass Big Muff for distortion and a Tone Corset for compression, both also from Electro Harmonix.
