I'll be using this product until I get good enough to either 1) buy an actual acoustic guitar (space is an issue in my home though) or 2) upgrade to one of the "Top Shelf" acoustic modelers
Sound
I get a nice, twangy, steel guitar acoustic sound on my Schecter Omen-6 with this box, especially when going through the acoustic amp modeler of my Digitech RP50. The downside is it can generate a lot of hiss when using too much "effect". I'll need some sort of noise reducer to compensate.
Features
Comes with 4 acoustic styles - standard, large, piezo and bright - but the difference between the four is, to my ear, rather subtle.
Ease of Use
Easy to use. Play with the knobs until you get the sound you like! The "acousticness" pretty much all comes from the Enhance knob anyway. NOTE - THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT IS LOCATED UNDER THE PEDAL. And it's a pain to install. Be careful, this procedure can break the pedal!
Quality
The plastic appears solid and sturdy, but the clumsiness in which they concocted the battery compartment really puts a damper on the quality component.
Value
For 30 bucks, you can make your cheap electric guitar with its cheap amp sound like a cheap acoustic guitar. Who can beat that?
Manufacturer Support
Haven't had to call them, but at least they provide phone numbers with the product.

Cheap pedal which seemed to work ok until the battery died. I will never buy a pedal from them again, or a pedal that has the battery located internally
Sound
Great pedal. Beats switching to an acoustic guitar while playing live
Features
Designed well, easy to use adjustment knobs
Ease of Use
Overall a great pedal
Quality
The battery is located under the pedal, horrible idea. Had a battery die while playing out. Tried to change it and the two parts under the pedal sprung out and I lost them. Good luck trying to get replacement parts. I can either ship my pedal to a dealer, and have them fix it. Or buy a new pedal. Behringer was not very helpful in assisting me on this. Most dealers were clueless on helping me get this fixed, unless I was willing to pay to ship it to them, pay to have them replace a 2.00 piece, and then have it shipped back.
Value
Good pedal, just dont ever change the battery
Manufacturer Support
Horrible. I called several authorized repair shops, and no one would help me unless I just mailed my pedal to them. I need a 2.00 piece, and cant get it. I called the main behringer line, and got the same sort of run around. Will never buy a pedal from them again.
The Wow Factor
Its great until the battery dies. Hiding the battery inside the pedal allows room for damage, and missing parts.
