MGR/JakYsoN from band \"Rage Cage\" « Zoom 505 II »
Published on 11/25/03 at 15:00Well I got this unit from my mum who is buying me the "cheapest pedal " in the shop u can get. It is from Hong Kong and I have no idea how much it would cost.
I read the other reviews and none of them mentioned about the Tuner function of this pedal which is totally awsome. Unlike those weird pedals with a gauge sorta looking thing, this one actually can help u down tune to a Drop-C tuning within 20 seconds if u are fast.
And also this pedal has actaully got more funky sounds that you would expect, although u usually play on the same effect anyway, but slowly after u played for a while with this pedal you will find the other effects useful and also start editing your own effects (which is easy).
It is small and easy to carry around, great for beginners, looks kinda cool as well.
The Wah effect in this pedal is not really the pefect choice for using trying to play one of those solos from "metallica".
The changing of the effects sometimes is a pain in the Butt because you can only change effect which is one up or one down from the one that you are using, so you have to make sure the effects are "next to each other" before playing the songs with multiple effects. And when u change, there is a sudden pause in the sound, which is not good for performance.
Well I hav had this pedal for about 2 years now. About a year after i had the pedal the input plug just suddenly stopped responding. You have to push the wire left and right until u get the inputs actually going. ( Now I just used ducktape to wrap it around and it has worked for another year , donno how long it is going to last after that.)
Afterall if you are a beginner or you are looking for a pedal with cool effects at a low price this one is just perfect.
But if you are a pro and looking for something that you can use on stage this is not really the pedal u will be considering.
