MGR/Anonymous « Zoom 506 Bass Multi-Effects Pedal »
Published on 07/20/01 at 15:00i purchased new at musicstop in st johns on newfoundland for $210 canadian I bought this unit when it first came out and regret it because of the very fast decrease in the sale price.
i like the fact thats its cheaper then buying the seprete pedals to accomidate all the effects that the one pedal can do alone . the small portability of the unit very lightweight and small enough to fit in a case along side my axe. it's not difficult to use it can be used by anyone dosnt matter how long you've been play just plug it in and play. I liked the way that you can use headphone's rather then an amp for private sessions or traveling.
i dont like having to program different efffects into the unit and i dont like having to go through so many effects to find the right one. i dont like how much power is needed to power the unit because when using the 9 volt battery the unit only lasts on the average of 3-4 hours usage so you go through alot of battery's and the battery's that are worn out still have enough life to power flashlights and other small items so the pedal dosnt get potential out of the battery's.
its made of a hard plastic with a metal base and rubber footstands, it has a digital screen thats tells you what effect is being used. it accomidates both ac power and a 9 volt battery.
i like this pedal not too hard to use fun to fool around with but dosnt meet a onstage concert situation because of the need to switch between effects its good to use because it has a built in atomatic tuner that is also as simple as the pedal is to use.
