The basic effects included are "meh" but the basic distortion sounds good for what it is. I use it primarily for the song play along - slow the song down to learn it, loop it, etc.
Interface is a bit difficult to use but not terrible.
DEFINITELY remember to turn in "feedback control" if using headphones!!!!! Otherwise the squealing in your ears will be heard for days.
