MGR/Jack Elliott (Bassist For Ignorance) « Zoom 506II Bass Pedal »
Published on 07/15/03 at 15:00My parents paid around £65 for this on my birthday. It was bought from Windows in Newcastle. I asked for it because I needed some basic effects to keep up with the guitarist in my band.
I like the effects, apart from the distortions (more on that later.) Great Chorus and flanger. Price! So cheap, there is a higher level one (708?) with which you get a few more effects and an expression pedal. But this was much more expensive for not much more pedal.
The distortions. They sound empty and shallow. I only use one of them. (Edge)
This is easily remedied by buying a Boss ODB-3. Also the effects sound much better with an expression pedal.
Quite good really. The unit is plastic, but that doesnt bother me much because it is tucked away under my amp. (I just have the Boss and the expression pedal at my feet)
Buy it! The one problem with this accessory is that you need other accessories with it (Exp pedal and a Overdriver) to take it from being great to being exceptional. Overall a brilliant stomp box, especially when you consider the price.
