Great sound, not fun to use
Have had this for about half a year now. It's a great sounding module. There's no way around it. It sounds pure, clean, beautiful.
However, it doesn't sound gritty, even if you use the grit button or the filters. It's just not dirty, it's clean and you can't get it to sound dirty. That limits a bit the cases you can use it for of course, but it's a great sound for specific sounds.
Unfortunately, programming it is just not fun. Using presets is uninspiring as it's hard to reprogram them. Going from scratch has the same issue, it's just totally not intuitive. Sometimes you accidentally hit or touch a button and it will skip to another program.. For instance the delay time has a dedicated button, but to finetune you have to use the value button which also selects presets. I don't know, it's just not fun to use. It's great sounding but the fun factor is low.

Too many features and steep learning curve
Great sounds yes but there are drawbacks: I found use directions to be incomplete and poorly explained. Written by smart guys that assumed their readers had basic understandings of pedal and digital set ups I found myself constantly having to search online for 'how to' vids. (i.e. my Timeline folder has 46 'how to' videos). A 28 page user manual with no index is case in point. Great sounding and well made gear, very expensive but, for this journeyman musician anyway, not worth the aggravations.
