hi, the yamaha magic stomp is an overall good pedal with customizable effects using a software that comes along with the pedal. It has 99 preset banks and 99 user banks. I generally recommend it for recording purposes due to the adjustability of the sound. For live shows the 2 buttons which move from left to right patch wont help much and i wont recommend it for that purpose. for a live demo u can go down to yamaha and ask any of the staff.
thanks,
andrew
