Zoom 3000

Many effects available (distos, compressor, phaser, chorus, flanger, delay, reverb, harmonizer, tremolo ... and some more like talk-box and the external expression pedals. Be careful over linking two lments trs is fragile and that is no longer in business!)

Technology trs numrique plutt So Cold

Editions effects with 40 presets utilisateurs/40 Factory presets (not good)

Audio connections only

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration, it selects its effect on The argument with the dial and recorded everything.

Its unfortunate that some can not be put together but for the price we demand too much.

SOUND QUALITY

Most of the effects and dynamic adjustments are coarse trs (eq changes the sound completely, and the compressor is virtually ineffective. Good point all the same for the ZNR noise supressor works well plutt ).
The distos are just fine for the Zoom. Modulation effects (flange, chorus, phaser ...) are well plutt RALIS paramtrable but little (or fawn grossire trs). Impossible to reach a well prcis. The harmonizer dnaturent too sound, especially useful whammy pedals. The delays are good but the reverb trs plutt are cold.
The simulation part is prampli compltement avoided, except for any simulation Premire: C1. The rest is plutt inefficient and does not look like anything.
Finally, the talk box is a fun gadget but not really usable so no need to throw this pdalier for this reason.

I use the pedals with a Fender Start plugged into a Laney and I test with a dernirement Cort Katana. The sound does not appear different from the original too so not too many dnaturation sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it now for 5 years

The simplistic ultra edition effects and the number of effect me well enough during those five years and in terms of sound quality, with some work and fine tuning, you get stuff all fine.

MODEL No essay before the election

Report qualitprix plutt good but now largely overtaken by competition.

I know I made the best choice the era but today I would plutt to another device.

This pedal features 35 effects + amp simulators
40 preset patches: not really convincing (is just a sound that I find really good)
40 patches to configure itself (it is more than enough for me)

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simple, not complicated in use.
What I like: For example, the clear sound can be played in conjunction with sound distortion (classic but nice)
Editing sounds is relatively easy.
The French manual is clear, no worries.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is net output (it does not bleed), but the sound of the pedal literally kills the sound of the guitar and amp. I have a Marshall velvestate 8080 with his hot and greasy (if it plugs directly above). If you connect the Z-3000, the warm farewell and fat. The sound is flat and linear. I find it disappointing.

The 7 distos are pretty average for my taste (adjustable volume, tone, gain), we can not create what we want.
The distos are varied on the other hand (metal, grunge, lead, OD ... are quite différenets each other).

The simulation of acoustic guitar is quite realistic, although generating little background noise, but that can be mastered with the noise suppressor. Deplus it is possible to bring out the sound of body and / or ropes: it's not bad.
The sound called "HPS" is unmanageable, a sort of pitch that is useless.

The sound is pretty cool talking also used automatically (ie without the microphone)
This produces a "spoken" is cool with distortion.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4-5 years.
I also tried a zoom 503 (the sound is much lower than the Z3000, it's disgusting drooling) and Boss ME6.

The pros: - The acoustic sound.
- 7 ditos are quite different from one another;
- We appreciate being able to put an overdrive
preamplifier followed by a distortion, all in series or parallel.
- Sound talking box (mimics the sound of the voice),
use only in automatic.
- The number of effects and potential effects of arrangement (serial / parallel).
- The sound does not bleed on the whole, it is quite clear.
- We like being able to push the parameters.
- We appreciate the accuracy of the delay (one millisecond).
This allows for a variety of reverbs.
- The function RTM (control parameters in real time via the
expression pedal (classical, but)

The -: - The sound is flat (not cold) and not very lively
(on the other hand if you listen with good headphones, it makes
more immediately, the sound gains in precision and amplitude).
- The distos are not very convincing, because, among
Another of the flatness of the sound. The distortion has a very sound
Digital.
- The amp simulations are lamentable, unusable;

Value for money: 40 Euros a priori hand (it's really given)
There are about 5 years I had paid
the equivalent of 300 Euros, without the pedal
of expression: it was more expensive (price / quality)

This pedal features 35 effects + amp simulators (digital)
40 preset patches: not really convincing (is just a sound that I find really good)
40 patches to configure itself (it is more than enough for me)

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simple, not complicated in use.
This pedal offers lots of possibilities.

SOUND QUALITY

Quality effects

The sound is net output (it does not bleed), but the sound of the pedal literally kills the sound of the amp. I have a Marshall velvestate 8080 with his hot and greasy (if it plugs directly above). If you connect the Z-3000, the warm farewell and fat. The sound is flat and linear. I find it disappointing.

The 7 distos are averages for my taste (adjustable volume, tone, gain), we can not create what we want.

However, the acoustic simulation is not bad, it really feels to play on an acoustic. Deplus it is possible to bring out the sound of the drum and / or rope is not bad. As against this effect generates a small noise a bit tedious at times. This background noise increases during the so pushes the parameters of that sound.

The sound called "HPS" is unmanageable, a sort of pitch that is useless.

OVERALL OPINION

The pros: - The acoustic sound.

Value for money: 40 Euros a priori of OCAS (it's really given)

the equivalent of 300 Euros, without the pedal
of expression: it was more expensive (price / quality)

Pdalier numrique multi-effects (distortion / overdrive - flanger-Octave - delay / reverb - auto-wah/Wah-wah ...) with pseudo-simulation of lamps (trs we must look away, but cel gives relief to the sound)
Expression pedals (Volume - wah - flanger speed ...)
Connection by jacks
Indeed traditional variety and talk-box + Varis (headset included)

UTILIZATION

Using simple trs
Edition ais sounds and intuitive, but impossible to combine certain types of effects, however, quite basic (+ qualiseur flanger ...)
Manuel clear prcis

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are relatively ralistes, but the use of certain serious distortion and has an unfortunate tendency to saturate the speakers of my Marshall 1960A, in a configuration too metal. Is compensated by the quilibrage of mediums.

OVERALL OPINION

Not to recommend that a beginners broke.
However, the zoom 3000S dpanne trs widely cheaply, o honorable note.
