Ortega Horse Kick Pro Digital Guitarist Stomp Box with 5 Samples

Below average sounds, and the "only" thing nice about it, is the appearance. The wood housing is worth way more than the electronics inside. When it is stomped, the unit either under-triggers or over-triggers. No consistent, uniform or balanced sound... either no sound, soft sound, or very loud sound. I agree with the other person, what a joke!

HEEL STOMP IT! it needs to be able to play any sound i want on there. i need cymbals. i have two and i wish the other one had some crashes instead of the cowbell or tambo. the bass sound and tambo played at the same time sound off.

This product does exactly what it claims to do. And it's fun to use. Yet, it performs just a few functions. For something this simple, the current price is rather high. The price is at the level where most people ask themselves, "Do I really want to spend that much on a manual percussion machine?". If the price was lower, they'd probably sell a lot more.

Solo performances

After shopping online for every stomp box I could find (none were in the stores), I was satisfied with the function and quality of this product. Choice of 5 realistic digital sounds with volume control. Guitar pass-thru eliminates the need for a separate channel on an amp or sound board (unless you want separate percussion tone control). On the negative side, the sensor is in the middle of the box and you must hit that exact spot with your shoe to get maximum volume. Because of this, I attached a stick-on furniture slide (hard plastic, not fuzzy) to the middle of the box and this greatly improved the response. The real wood box looks very nice but will get nicked over time. I am returning it, NOT because of the product but because of my inability to coordinate the rhythm of my guitar playing, singing, and stomp box. My guitar and voice rhythms were suffering and my foot got tired.

Tried this twice. Had to chase it across the floor while performing live. Must be a practical joke product. Way overpriced.
