MGR/Jim « Zoom 505 II »
Published on 12/09/03 at 15:00I payed 69.99 dollars for the unit and bought it from a Sam Ash outlet in Orlando Florida.
There are tons and tons of customization options on this multi effect pedal. Its got delays, chorus, reverbs, distortions, even an accoustic simulator which isnt half bad! Its a great way to start yourself out in guitar effects.
With 36 pre created effects, 12 distortions, 4 delays, several wah options, harmonies, chorus and etc this thing will give you hours apon hours of just sitting there and listening to each effect, its so cool! Comes with a headphone jack.
Several useless(to me anyway) effects come in the 36 precreated effects, however you can easily replace them with your own customized effect.
Plus you will probably wan't to buy the 16 dollar AC adapter to power the unit unless you want to change batteries every 20 hours, that is an unfortunate limitation. I bought the adapter after a month of wasting money on batteries.
The construction and quality are superb. The unit itself is made of hard plastic and it is very very durable. The pedals never get stuck and neither do the dials no matter how much you stomp on the thing. Its a sturdy piece of equipment.
This unit gives you a great introduction to guitar effects and gives you tons of effect options to choose from.
Its a ton of fun to play around with and I was actually very satisfied with some of the distortions and delays, they proved to be a great alternative to the crappy distortion on my amplifier.
I highly recomend this to beginning guitarists, however experienced guitarists will probably wont something a little more powerful along the lines of the Boss GT6 or ME-50. A great product overall however, I gave it a 4 out of 5.
