Looks OK to me.

I like multi effects pedals. Far fewer cords and power supplies, you don't need a pedalboard because it is a pedalboard. 

 

I used to own a Korg, one of the earlier ones. I don't remember the model number but I got good use out of it. Somebody else is probably still using it. 

Now I have a BOSS, (another brain fart on the model number). I've hardly used it so far but I'm planning on getting that going. 

This Fender looks like a nice board!

Looking this over carefully, it appears to be a dedicated switching unit, rather than being a full-function MFX. Given that, it's meant to accompany and control a pedalboard full of effects pedals, with the User Presets controlling which pedals are included in the signal chain, and what order they're in. I don't see any indication that there are any onboard effects, otherwise.

 

AFAIK, the Boss MS-3 is the only Loop Switcher that's also a MFX device?

That's what I thought also. For my little 5 pedal board it's to expensive. For a larger board it could be worth a look.

I've looked into them, and even for my boards, but I'm still not sure. The Boss MS-3 tempts me, as much for the added effects as the switching ability, but not enough to have bought one, yet.

Curious, what happens when the stage lighting is blue?
