you will hear good and bad. If you are getting the unit really cheap at this point, go for it. Imprint set up could be a pain and can sound like crap if you don't get multiple mic positions and set up. I remember saying the manual was not good in set up. I looked at this unit a few years back and saw two camps. Camp 1 wanted more tuning and moved on/stepped up to other processors. Camp 2 as long as it was set up correctly like the unit. They are the set it and forget it crew. From memory this was also the unit that allowed you to keep using your factory volume control. I also remember people saying it stripped out bass, but that could have also been set up issues.
