I just would like it to sound as much like an acoustic guitar as possible. But perhaps your idea of tone shaping is not the same as mine.

As for any tariffs or customs fee, how much really would it add to a $25 purchase to a buyer who is not going to be a reseller and will use the device only for personal use?

...because it has no mid sweep nor a mic emulation. you're left with what it gives you, plus adjusting treble and bass. I hope it works for you. we all want it to sound as much like an acoustic guitar as possible. I always make sure it says " shipped from amazon". China seems like a long ways to go.
