Patch use Program 36 (6 banks of 6 patches), nine simultaneous effects, auto-chromatic tuner, power supply batteries or mains, connections jack, stereo output (headphones), between 01 footswitch or expression pedals.
plastic case, I'm afraid to break it when I serve.

UTILIZATION

Use trs trs simple, it is positioned on a patch, you put in and all the effects are valid.
the volume of each patch and indpandant, practice.
All rglages is with 2 + and - buttons prcis not at all, it lacks knob.
The manual is clear trs, say nothing of the cot.

SOUND QUALITY

Frankly not that good ...
I do no distortion, it dja rgl. the compressor and the blast is wahwah Tagus.
The pitch does not have a third and the lack of tremolo ... tremolo.
So I used the flanger, chorus and delay / reverb are not evils.
For the tuner, I unplug my guitar prfre carrment for my good old tuner needle.
But the worst part is the change of patch and bypass: each manipultions, the sound is cut for half a second! What a blank.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had six months, and I think it's been too long. is the first multi effect j'achte, I admit it is not expensive, but after trying the pedals and racks, I will rather change against a chorus and delay, which will a great job. It must be said that costs less than a ZOOM pedals properly.
The best thing of the device is the headphone jack Stereo. You can always snapping of the rope while your wife watches Star Academy ... The ZOOM 505 II can save your couple!
