For sure a lot of it is me being bad at it but I struggle a lot less with an amp & a pedal than the same in the app. Clean and slightly distorted sounds I find super nice but I really struggle to get even a decently clean tone when it comes to high distortion. To wrap this up I still want to address the sound issue. Window and options are a bit "clunky" but its a super cable software and once you get past those it is very easy to use day to day.
The interface once you're stting up the pedals etc is super nice and easy to use but I dont like that to me it feels a bit like an app ported ot PC. I still think you'd probably be better off with a decent amp + a few medals if you know what sound you want - but if you want a ton of creative sounds with pretty good quality in a few clicks thats a great product. For a beginner its just amazing as a platform to have fun with a ton of sounds & amps. Having said that for the base price of the tool paired with a basic audio interface its unbeatable value.
