I used to have a Korg Pandora PX3B for headphone practice, but I never really got to grips with all the effects. I couldn't get a decent clean sound from it. The UB502 blows away the Korg when it comes to headphone practice! It just sounds so much clearer, and I don't have to wade through tons of useless effects. I'd like a drum machine though, but since I can connect my portable MP3 player, I don't really miss it that much. Overall, it's a really good tool for those who want to play on the move away from their amp. Excellent value!

I use it for headphone practice and for when I'm away from my amp and need to play. I can hook it up to a hi-fi system, and I can have my portable MP3 player on one of the inputs if I feel like jamming to some songs. :) Very nice tool if you can't bring your amp to where you're going.
It's steel, so I guess it holds up pretty good. The knobs are nice and tight, and the overall feel is one of quality.
