Yep. Jolly good fun. Not hard to operate, but a bit scary to attach the spiders. Watch the Youtube videos on installation.
I haven't been able to find a practical application for it - used the reverb at a folk club once and was asked by a couple of friends what the strange buzzing from my guitar was!
Also, I found that the novelty wore off a bit after a month or so, and so I haven't used mine for a while (really must try it again soon), but if you've got a few quid lying around and want a toy, they're fine.

Thanks for comments. Tempted to try one Phil thanks but I'm guessing it would be a bit like Paul's comment; fun for a short while and then in the drawer with many other potential fun bits.
Regards
John

I've not really used amps a lot. Has anyone used one of these? Very cool, and I have not tried this gadget!!! Another toy!!! Thanks for the intro! Rene

A guy at our local folk club has one attached to his Yamaha acoustic. He loves it. But when I'm sat in the audience I think it sounds a bit washed out. Not for me. Iain

I use mine a lot. I think it's a fantastic invention. It doesn't buzz, there can be occasional feedback but only if it's turned up too high.
I've been playing at a jam session every Monday for 15 years, it doesn't amplify the sound of the guitar but instead gives the guitar an echo, or delay, whichever you set it to, and that can help cut through the mix sometimes.
You can also plug it into a PA. I was at an open mic last year, which I don't do very often, and the extra ooomph it gave was quite something.
I would recommend it if you're playing live regularly, the effects are very nicely done and sound better when just understating if you know what I mean. Less is more. I can see how it would be a novelty if you're using it at home. I would never record with one for example.
I did a couple of YouTube videos some years ago, exemplifying the possibilities.
And on this last one I just look like a car thief, maybe I was cold... What a tosser 😆
