MGR/Bruno Sendas « Zoom Zoom 506 Multi Effects Processor »
Published on 03/29/02 at 15:00I bought zoom 506 in a local store near my house for the price of $100, I think, I can't be too sure on the price. I bought it mostly because of his price compared with the ones on single efects pedals, and I was just a begginer
The zoom 506 has a considerable number of efects, the most common are all there, and throught that we can achieve some really nice sounds from the box. It's very light and small, basically very easy to carry. Another thing is that it is very very easy to use, in about one day you become very at ease with machine.
It has big, and I mean really big, problems with noise, so much that the things that I liked about zoom 506 goes down the drain. When we use compressor or limiter you can forget about sound quality, there's nothing to do, it just doesn't go away. Another thing is that we don't have parameters within the efects, so you don't have a lot of space to play around with. The equalizer is very limited and changing banks on live gigs is a very risky work.
It's very well built with exception of the buttons on the sides that get stuck very easily. I bought zoom 506 about 4 years ago and it still works without any problem, I never had a malfunction.
I recommend zoom 506 only for begginers, to get at ease playing whit efects, zoom 506 certainly does the job. It's very easy to use and you can make really nice sounds with it, the big problem it's his noise, it becomes your worst nightmare. for it's price there's nothing better.
