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)
