so... the quality to unify the sounds and quite a bit on the clean side but be careful with the level of gain and effects. you have to place them before the output (for example you should not connect two guitars on the table that comes out to an amp with full gain otherwise the sound is all messy). and beware the USB output is not great. But apart from these few flaws, it must be admitted that it is a small jewel and that the value for money is excellent. So recommended for beginners.

Great product, they bought it for me (for my brothers too) at Christmas and I am not disappointed. In addition to amplifying the sounds, this table can have 2 different outputs or you can put the amp you want only on these instruments. you can also connect effects consoles to the table and adjust the 'effect level of each instrument'.
