Anyone tried the Yamaha Magicstomp???

[Ebbflow]

I've heard some good things about them. I like the idea of some great effects in a pedal as opposed to a rack unit, since I've gotten rid of my rack stuff [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Sound samples sound decent (don't really care for the preamp sounds) and they are fully computer editable via USB! Also MF has them on sale for $166. Anyone have any hands on experience?

i was really interested in this when it came out.
i tried it at a local guitar center and found the distortion to be a bit weak, the time based effects were pretty good, but the main problem i had is that it needs to be hooked up to a computer to access all the functions which means that it is not suitable for any live situations.

Also, no Mac editor is available. That left me out.
