I bought it for my band's rehearsal and it's very good. Multitracking is very useful - you can use it for small gigs and record them. Since we are using it we record every rehearsal we had. The quality is good but you have to be careful with the knobs - sometimes you can tilt them if you push them a little harder, but it's not a big problem. We didn't test Bluetooth yet but it's nice feature if you want to play something prerecorded on your show. Overall - I'm very satisfied with the quality and the price.

Very easy to convey with the Mac and the use with Logic. Basically plug and play. Good sound quality when recording.
I haven’t used it live yet but the test in the studio was satisfactory.

Super efficient, massively capable, inbuilt effects are alright, can even record directly into an SD card. Very smart. Tough built. Feels good, and stable to use.
