I got it and have sfx pro, so it ain't just a come on for new users.
It is a good program - it essentially is a bunch of effects you can chain together and some rather ... eclectic presets (about 1000 of 'em). I mostly use it for sound effect design, but it works for more mundane effects, too.
for $10, it is a no-brainer for sure, even if you only use it for a few of the presets in some songs.
