Kulten « Simple and complete »
Published on 08/27/13 at 16:03Same look as my little 506 ZOOM: anthracite and orange. Pretty solid plastic.
Sufficient memory: 60 users, 60 presets.
In addition to the multi-effects, it has the same price:
- Integrated with assignable sampler samples (samples stored on smart media, up to 30 minutes in total)
- A looper, simple to use (function "Hold Delay up to 2 seconds) with superimposed sounds.
- A box very correct rhythms, also assignable to patches. 60 rhythms. Not changed but rather convincing.
Input and output jack, power supply or batteries, Aux input. and expression pedal.
UTILIZATION
Manual well done, clear, progressive, and download the ZOOM site.
Effective parameters, it is really handy:
The procedure is simple: [edit button -> change each effect in the chain -> store] button
First the choice of the base with the big button, then for each effect chain (accessible by the arrow button) three knobs to turn.
Pressing Store, and voila, no sub-sub menus obscure ... just a peculiarity: some effects are adjusted with three settings, others with 6 parameters, as it is sometimes necessary to support a once Edit for an effect, and sometimes a second time on Edit to change the role of each knob.
Expression Pedal: the intensity is adjustable to modulate choice: wah, pitch, modulation effect, gain, reverb, volume, hold.
Finally: I actually feel adjust effects pedals following rather than managing a digital plastic board ... especially as each patch has a name that is displayed and can be changed as you like ... practice to navigate, easier than a number and a letter.
SOUND QUALITY
Then, quickly, without exaggeration, it really is, absolutely, very complete as multi-effects:
- Delay and Reverb: the choice is monstrous, light his repeated once quietly in the background to infinity feedback!
- A whole bunch of Disto, Overdrive, Fuzz.
- Essentials Phaser and Flanger, Chorus, Tremolo, Pan obliged to find happiness.
- Wah is nickel, very good Defreter.
- Compressor, Ehancer, Amp Simulator, EQ, while the number of copies for each its intuitive and fast control system with 3 knobs.
- Where I was very pleasantly surprised, this is the synthesizer sounds, three basic sounds and once passed through the effects there's something fun okay!
OVERALL OPINION
Five days he is home, I am delighted. It is reliable, simple, sure sounds good.
All is not perfect: when the sample is assigned to a patch using the stereo is lost.
Another problem is the volume and the tempo of the rhythm: they are not storable. Can change without problem, but when we turned off all the tempo back to 120 and volume of rhythms hold the factory setting.
However, given the opportunity, ZOOM out a good product with the 708 II.
