### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-07-19*

Junk you can’t use 2 or more pedals at a time.

### 5/5 — 有料だけど本体が安いんだしこれくらいは許容範囲

*2026-02-10*

簡単に接続できるし本体で音作りするより圧倒的に分かりやすいし簡単に操作できます。

### 2/5 — no new fx

*2026-02-03*

This is more of a fx administration app to see a nice list of them and descriptions. You can also so fx chains there and upload to app. NO NEW FX as it was advertised. I should’ve kept my $1….

### 4/5 — Ok

*2025-10-24*

Works as expected, designed for iPhone so it doesn’t fill the screen of the iPad. However it’s no problem to use with the iPad and connects every time, even through a usb hub.

### 5/5 — Mac/PC用エディターを公式から！お願いします

*2025-07-22*

本体ツマミでのエディットよりアプリの方が楽なので毎回こちらを使用しています。iPhone に電源供給しながらでないと気付けば電池が減っているし、電話一台そっちに取られるので、やはりMac/PC版のエディターがあると助かります。それからステレオ処理のエフェクトがどれなのかredditくらいしか情報が無いので、エフェクト一覧にマークなり色付けなりしてくれると分かりやすいです！本体価格を考えればmidiありステレオありで手に取りやすいですし、実際売れているのでしょうけど、もっと盛り上がっても良い気がします。例えば本アプリやMac/PC版エディター(現時点では無いけど)がユーザーコミュニティのように機能するとか。ユーザー作成パッチの共有や本体用スキンの販売などあれば面白いと思います

### 1/5 — 上手く接続出来ません。

*2025-06-29*

iPhoneからパッチの管理や個々のパラメーターを編集したくて、購入しましたが、接続しても、本体には
USB CABLE
NO DATA SUPPORT

メーカーのサイトもわかりにくく、解決方法がわかりません。

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-03-07*

The pedal isn’t connecting to the iPad, even though I’m working with a functioning usb cable

### 2/5 — Should have been free for the amount paid for pedal

*2025-01-26*

It hooks up nice and quick, but as far as any extra settings – I don’t find any. Yes, I can easily mix specific settings in user slots, but as far as the “pool“ of extra settings – they are basically the same that came with the pedal.  Yes, it is slightly easier to immediately mixup effects, but as far as hearing how they actually sound through a guitar, bass, or synthesizer is much better while having it hooked up to those instruments.  They literally could have just made this a free app. I mean, I’ve bought a lot of Korg gear and they give you a free app.  I’ve purchased a ton of other gear and you get a free app with it.  Hopefully, with the money I spent on this app it will actually be updated and prove some form of function. As of now it’s kind of useless to me. Also, most of their apps are free and I don’t understand why this one is a paid app. I am in no way cheap as I own at least three grand worth of iOS apps, I’ve been beta testing iOS apps since 2011, and I have six iPhones and five iPads.. I love a good app that works fantastic with hardware but this one has not impressed me yet.

### 2/5 — Can not connect

*2024-11-10*

Yes I’m annoyed the app costs a dollar. I’m angry that it will not connect to my phone with a brand new wire, an official Apple USB-C to lightning cable, with a new phone. I’m also mad that the pedal drops the stereo right side audio to near zero when I disengage the FX, but to be fair that negative review should go somewhere else. Hopefully this is all resolved without (more) hours of headaches

### 5/5 — Valuable addition to the pedal

*2024-07-16*

This app makes it a LOT easier to find effects, save favorites, set up virtual effects boards, name things, etc. It also auto-updates firmware. 
Two minor complaints: does it really have to be $1? I feel like it should be a free part of having purchased the pedal. And can we get an upscaled (larger) version sized for an iPad?
