"A Happy Owner's Perspective and Review of the Pandora Box PX-4"

Feature:
The things on this I find useful are everything. It comes with built in tuner that's simple to use, metronome (very useful for people who suck at keeping tempo like me), you are able to recod 1 minute of any riff or song you wish to play, a bunch of rhythm patterns (and you can control tempo there too), edit and/or create your own effect, has a LCD screen (lite up screen), 124 types of effect variations, can hook headphones in and play portably without an amp, and a lot more!!

Quality:
With this product there's no worry for it to break unless you throw it on the ground and stomp on it. There's no loose parts to tighten, not big at all, and very VERY good for "on the road" use, or at your house, or in a garage band. There is no worst aspect of the quality of this ingenius product.

Value:
This is probably the best effects (pedal)anyone can get with the most effect, and still cost the least. This is only a few hundred bucks, but it's worth it, especially when you see other pedals at stores that only have 1 or 2 effects and cost between $50-$120. after you buy a few you've gone over how much $ this pedal costs. Simply put.....If you don't own this, then plan on getting one soon.

Sound:
The sound in this bad baby is awesome, except for a few sonds, but you can delete them and create your own sound! Or just edit them. In this tiny pocet sized electronic you get to choose between 50 different sounds and add to the sound by delay and/or chorus and/or echo! Anyone starved for a bunch of sounds should either buy it, or check it out at your local music store.

Overall:
The Pandora Box PX-4 will satisfy me and stop me from buying another pedal for a long time. This box is so important to me, if it got stolen, or broken, I'd buy another one it in a heart beat. I'm satisfied with all of the current features, and when Korg comes out with a newer version of the product, I'll be one of the first people to get my hands on one. There's ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO HATE ABOUT THE PANDORA BOX.(That being in my own opinion)

"Nice!"

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Feature:
Every time I think I know everything this little tricked out thing can do, I find something else. No AC adapter included, or it would get a 10. You have to buy it separate.

Quality:
This is the best-made pocket amp I've seen. It's plastic and not indestructible, but nice and solid. All the knobs and buttons are sunk in the body a little to keep them from being popped off. As long as you don't get frustrated about some riff and throw it against the wall, it should last a long time.

Value:
$200 for a pocket amp? Well, when you compare it to what else is out there, the amount of features, and the decent sound, it's worth it. You won't get the sound of a Marshall, ADA MP1, Vox, or other tube preamp for that kind of money anyway.

Desirability:
This is a tough one. It's just a great tool. Would I use it on stage, or for final recording tracks? No, probably not, I would use my ADA MP1, but I never used my Sholz Rockman for that stuff either either. But, If I didn't have the Rockman I wouldn't have been able to practice, write, lay down initial tracks, and learn music as often; it wouldn't be as convenient.

Sound:
Ok, for a $200 carry everywhere tool for learning/writing songs, practicing and even laying down some tracks, it's great. I went in to buy a Line 6 POD and it was nothing I've heard about. The line 6 POD was a big, noisy, piece of crap. For the $400 they want for it you can get a decent tube preamp (e.g. VOX ToneLab, Carvin TN100). The distortion is decent on the Korg, but a little limited. The clean sounds are very good. As for synth sounds and stuff like that, if that's what you need, go all out and buy a Roland, or Axon guitar to MIDI controller. I've never heard an effect processor work well for that.

Support:
I've had it for a while and haven't had to contact them, so I consider that a good thing.

Overall:
This is what I was looking for and it's what I got. I wish I had a little more control ofer the distortion.

"Great practice tool"

Feature:
Easy to use, I like the strap clip - I often wander around the house playing with it.

Quality:
No problems.

Value:
To be able to play anywhere, anytime and not bother anyone is great! And to be able to do that with incredible sounds and tone is much more than I expected.

Sound:
I've owned mine for 1.5 years and it's all I practice with. It's clean and incredibly versatile, pair it with a good pair of headphones and you'll never practice with your amp again. This is a practice and recording tool only, with headphones or plugging into a mixer it's great - don't bother using it with an amp.

Support:
No need for support, good web site.

"Expensive but a must have!"

Feature:
Can't beat it for what you get!

Quality:
Would be afraid to drop it -- not sure how well it would hold up...

Value:
A bit pricey but still excellent product...

Desirability:
Just gotta have it!

Sound:
Very impressive unit -- I travel and this is just awesome to use!

Overall:
Very well!
