After seeing this video review with Shane I went a head and bought this dirt cheap Nux AS-4 Amp Sim pedal from China. I simply could not decide which of the True Tone HB pedal to get and this one seems like the winner because it has all of them in one box. It will take a few weeks until it arrives from China

Good man! Let's see who gets it first I'm also buying a Donner Harmony (or Harmory) Chorus pedal it has a tri-chorus effect which sounds extremely good. This might inspire me to get back to playing arpeggio style again. I can easily loose myself in ambiental sounds. I'm just not sure if we need to pay any tax money when ordering from China to EU??? Any one knows? I mean these things are very cheap so I don't think they will bother to get taxes for it or will they?

I don't know if there is a standard EU import duty rule and import duties could very well differ per country, in the Netherlands anything under 25 euro's is tax free. There is probably an official website for your country somewhere where you can check this out - I found this information for the Netherlands at the main postal services site.

There is no toll under 150 Euro but it seems that there is tax for anything in Denmark when you buy from out of EU. Not many gte to pay tax for cheap items like these though, apparently. Lets see how it goes

My AS-4 Arrived this weekend. Nice stomp box, very useful addition!
I (will) use it primarily for bass. The main difference between this AS-4 and a normal overdrive is that with a overdrive you tend to loose lows and gain highs, this is not what you want with a bass! The AS-4 does this a lot less and it also has low and high controls so if you lose lows you can simple dial in some more and turn down the highs! The best dirt of course is real tube dirt but that's something I can only get with my Bugera full tube amp. When using my other amps I like my Joyo Vintage Overdrive but I think this AS-4 will be better suited for the sound I want.

I'm anxiously awaiting your thoughts on this pedal. I love the 4 Amp sim pedals I have... But I'm intrigued to see how well that one nails the nuances of each.

Damn it! The 9V jack does not work The battery works fine (not included) so the pedal is functional but I need to connect it to my power supply (I hate batteries). I have complained to the seller so lets see ... The pedal sounds good tho but my amp still sounds too boomy and I have to open up the back or sell it and get something else instead. Damn closed back amps. Why would you decide to close down a 12" speaker in a relatively small box?!

Update; the pedal works well with my Digitech power supply. And the Digitech works well with the Chinese no name adapter I bought for the Nux so all is well.
