Zoom 606 Guitar
Published on 10/25/04 at 15:00I purchased my zoom effects petal at Ardens Music in trenton, ontario,canada, for 289 dollars plus tax. I thought i needed a new amp but instead bought a perfect petal.
I like how you have so many varieties of effects that you can change in to completely different sounds. The built in wha petal that that also changes volume and tones of effects is almost top quality like a crybaby or vox.
I dislike that it is a hassle to have to search so long for the right sound you want.
The black zoom 606 guitar digital effects petal is sturdely built with hard plastic and shows clearly what effects you have without looking through the manuel.

The effect petal is a great middle class petal that fits my almost every need on guitar. It is worth the money asked definetley.

Zoom 606 Guitar
Published on 06/22/04 at 15:00I purchased this pedal at Larry's music center.The reason i bought this was because my amplifier had weak distortion and I wanted a wider range of effects. i paid approxomately 110.00$
I like the wide range of distorted and clean effects they offer and I also like that you can edit your own patches.you can either plug it into the wall or you can use batteries to power it.
I had to take it in for repairs on the input jack. If you use batteries to power it the life is not very long and you end up paying more than you would like on batteries.
The construction and quality are both good quality.
This is a good professional grade effects pedal.

Zoom 606 Guitar Multi FX Processor
Published on 03/03/04 at 15:00At a Pawn shop, "Nearly New", (wink wink), for $89.00.
The sounds aren't too bad. Although the eq left much to be desired, the FX were decent. (Through my cabs, anyhow. Who knows how it will sound through yours!)
This pedal is way undependable. If you plan on playing out with this thing, don't. It is terribly unreliable. The two pedals gave horrible response, and didn't always switch when I stepped on them. The way they are laid out (flat) is not very ergonomic. The jacks also came loose.

The hardware sucks. It's cheap plastic and the expression pedal is stiff and sticky. Also, the jacks are practically floating around in the back of this thing, so if you happen to move at ALL when you play, you can count on cutting out.
I never played one show with this thing all the way through. It's continuously cut out on me at every show. Also, it tends to act up if it gets a little cold. All in all, I would definitely not reccomend this pedal to any serious musician that plays out alot. ESPECIALLY if you use multiple effects in a song and do a lot of switching or moving around. It's not worth it. Mine is getting sold on consignment and it is SO lucky, cause otherwise it would have been smashed with a hammer at my last band practice.

there is two things that i don't like.first it takes time for you to learn how to use the product properly.another thing is i dislike the digital led.it is very annoying to search the effect because it is shown on numbers,which mean i need to memorise the patch number for the effect.if only the product can spell so i can type the effect name for easier finding.
it is very smooth and has no sharp edges.it is strong and weight around 600g.the dimensions of the product is 233mm(W)x159mm(D)x54mm(H).it is made very a very high quality product.i would rated it as the best cheapest quality multi-processor in singapore.
it's really really worth it!you won't regret buying it,seriously.not only it is affordable,but it also contains so many effects.

Published on 11/03/03 at 15:00Bought in Holland (small shop) as an offer for only 150,--
Lot of effects for a small budget
Not suitable for stage performing i think
Well it is an computer made of plastic, but the sound of it rocks, so for home use exellent.
nice price for a lot of fun.

Published on 09/29/03 at 15:00Bought from from a shop called express in Solihull for about £100. Bought for the saving of not buying 20 different pedals or constant re-adjustment.
Versatility- span of effects as in you may create something totally unique. Variability on existing effects, Overdrives, Cleans, Distortions and even Acoustic Simualation. The tuner is brilliant, allowing any real tuning on any string.
Complex ways of selecting in play between a few effects. Hot a very clear display, and can be slightly to easy to make all your effects sound similar.
Plastic, so not the best, the occasional squeek included. However you'd be forgiven for thinking this is cheaply made although my mate dropped a Copy P.

Good fo applying effects and earlier work in your learning but they arent the real thing so you may consider buying a few specialist pedals based on what you like, i.e. overdrive pedals if your an overdrive person.

Everything
Only reason I did this review is to give my one dislike:
You cannot adjust the Tremolo depth with this pedal, which sucks balls!
good
Buy it but get yourself a seperate Trem pedal if you need one (like I do)

Zoom 606 Effects Pedal
Published on 01/09/03 at 15:00After having my rack-mounted Digitech Twin Tube GFX-1 suddenly lose the ability to display the selected patch during a performance, I decided it was time to purchase an effects pedal that could do more than make me sound like a Neil Schon wannabe. After nearly buying a lesser version of this pedal at Sam Ash my wife suggested we try Guitar Center. Imagine - the exact same pedal Sam Ash was selling for $99 we found used (but in the original box with original paperwork, manual and plastic bag) for $44. I'm a happy man.

Imagine - the exact same pedal Sam Ash was selling for $99 we found used (but in the original box with original paperwork, manual and plastic bag) for $44. I'm a happy man.
First, this thing looks cool. It's got a nice gold/silver/metallic finish that looks much sturdier than the plastic it's made from probably is. The incorporated expression pedal for wah, delay and volume pulls this unit out of the typical on/off fuzzbox realm. With 42 internal memory patches available I can noodle around for hours and never get bored with the variations. And when I plug in my headphones and some batteries I can sit with this lightweight unit on the bed and only annoy myself.
Unfortunately the manual is written in a language no longer spoken on earth.
The 606 weighs about a pound and is slim enough to slip right into a gig bag. Yeah, it's plastic but all moving parts seem very sturdy and click solidly into place. Intuitive it is not - you will need to plug in and start spinnin' knobs and pushin' buttons to figure out what it can do. One of the coolest features is the built-in guitar tuner which is easy to see even while standing over the unit. I tried this after four glasses of Zinfandel and it was still quite legible.
You won't find it for $44 like I did, but even at $99 this is one mighty little tool to help you conjure up the guitar Muse. Each effect will inspire you to try a new turn of a phrase, a new chord, maybe even start writing again. And if not, hey, there's always Ebay.

its plastic, really easy to break, i dont recommend u to use this in a gig where u get excited cause ull probably break it and another thing it eats up so many batteries, im lucky enough that i found an ac adapter at my house for it but i suggest u go out and buy one for this
its really light, bottom is a sheet of thin metal with foam thins so it doesnt scrath the floor, top is plastic w/ 2 knobs, 2 switching pads and a pedal, and a 2 digit display
i think its good for a begginer but now i feel that i wasted my money since i dont use all the effects cause lets face it u dont use too many effects often, i was told by my cousin that i will regret buyin it cause i wont use it to full capability but i was stuborn and wanted to try it out but all i need is a good distortion pedal. if u hav any questions or whatever email me.

PLUS its a pre-amp, meaning you can practise anywhere as long as you have some earphones without having to jack-in wires and plugs, plus its battery operated! it also comes with a nice expression pedal, it also has guitar simulation, I can make my Silvertone sound like a Fender.
only two things I dont like about it.
1. its got a steep learning curve, but the manual explains every little trick if you sit down and read it, also it has a complete listing of the FX on the back of the manual.
2. the switching of FX seems abrupt unless you switch at the exact time you need to.
I love the quality of this! its light-wieght plus I've dropped it a few times and not so much of a SCRATCH A SCRATCH I TELLS YAH!
you have to get this pedal, even if you dont play a guitar GET IT AND DO IT NOW.

If this unit has any downfalls,it would be that it is made of plastic.Also the acoustic setting is kind of lame.
Like I said,It`s made of plastic,but it`s very hard plastic.Other than that,it`s very high quality.
This is the best buy for the bucks.Its large amount of effects and ease of use should keep anyone happy for a long time,beginner or pro.

Zoom 606 Guitar Effects Unit
Published on 02/23/02 at 15:00I recieved this item as a gift, but i know that it was acquired from Music123.com for $99.00 (US), plus shipping.

This effects unit has tweakable sounds of many different effects pedals. It has a built in wah pedal, auto wah, chorus, flanger, pitch modulation. The pedal can be used to set volume, distortion amount, wah, and delay. It also has about 10 different distortion sounds, which range from clean to blues to full metal. The unit can also be used as a headphone amp, and can probably be hooked up to most stereos with an rca cable and adaptor. This effects unit also lets you create about 40 different presets composed of the 9 different effct channels linked together. Its pretty easy to edit these presets to create alot of cool sounds. It also has alot of cool echos.
Alot of the factory presets are boring and seem to sound alot alike. Editing quickly changes this. Also, a few of the effects are wierd, and would probably not be used in the real world, such as slow attack, ring mod, and step.
The switches and pedal all still work after about 2 months. It is made out of plastic, but I forsee no big problems, as long as it isnt abused. I have an 9V adapter, which is helpful to avoid buying batteries for it every few weeks.
I think this is a good effects unit for beginners through professionals. As long as it isnt abused, it will probably hold up.

Zoom 606 w/ Expression Pedal
Published on 02/16/02 at 15:00I picked this up at my local music store. I tried it out in store and payed $99 plus tax for it.
The best part is probably the bang for the buck. Tons fo high quality effects, up to 9 at once. The expression peddle is killer it can do many different things. (ie. volume, wah, drive, delay etc) It has all you could pretty much want. Many programmable presets.

Just don't beat on it and find a nice padded case for transport and it should be just fine. If you don't like it walking around on you buy one of those boards that you attach your effects to then put a hard cover on it to transport. Problem solved.
It's made of mostle plastic. I think the fact that it's so light gives it the feel of being not very durable. Time will tell. I still have to find out what Zoom will do for me if it breaks.
For the money this is a killer effect. Everyone Italked to loved the darn thing and was blown away that it was only $99 + tax. As for me I'm totally happy with it.

Zoom 606 Guitar Multi-Effects Processor

I have also liked the variety of other effects that I use mainly to spice up the distortions or to create new, unconventional sounds. For instance, using light chorus with the "PVY," or "Metal 7th" distortion and setting the built in equalizer low gives hard metal sound, while putting a light tremolo on with the "lead" distortion makes a great setting for leads that have notes held for awhile (does the vibrato for you.) Some examples of unconventional sounds I've gotten from it include an underwater, bubbly sound I got from using the chorus and autowah sounds together.
The 606 is not without its downsides, however. One of the main reasons I got it rather than another for the same price was the wah. Most other effects at this price don't have a wah. Well, the wah is not very good. It does not move smoothly (the sound) from high to low, and the pedal itself is a little uncomfortable compared to the crybaby. Also, the effects are not analog. this is very anoying! For instance: you cannot change the deepth and the rate of the tremolo seperatly. Each effect has 9 settings, and for some of them, 4 of those settings are just the first 4 with chorus added on (this chorus cannot be customised.)
The 606 seems to be built pretty well. I have not had it very long, but I have seen no signs of wear and tear which is very unique: things near me tend to break down at a faster rate...
Bottom line, this product is good for people who wouldn't know what to do with the overwhelming amount of choices of the analog multieffects. It offers basically every basic, nessecary setup fairly easily. I would not recomend it to the kind of musician who is anal about his sound. This machien just doesn't give you absolute control over it, but like I said, that is a good thing for some people!

I bought this just for practice and a hobby, I don't intend this to use outdoor, I bought this for self pleasure only, and remember use the effects one at a time, lols. This sounds more of an advise than a review, lol. I like the built in pedal.
Made of light metal and plastic, if you drop this unit I assure it'll break because it shows, well I really dont know, you have to try it to prove it. I wear socks when using this unit, and i dont wear shoes or slippers, just my plain lotioned foot, lol.
Great for practice and experimenting, double the pleasure for beginners like me. Lots of effects, 42 are programmed like Vai's, Claptons, Becks, Hendrix, Jet, Metal, Amps sounds etc. It'll take a long period of time to experience this kind of sounds, but with this unit it'll take just few minutes. Hey! zoom maker, do i get discount for this? lols

The unit doesn't feel incredibly sturdy either, but then again, I don't gig with this unit so it's never going to see anything but my basement carpet under it and my socked feet on top of it.
Construction is part plastic, part metal. Not too shabby, but again I would never gig with this unit unless I had 10 spares in the van.
Overall it's a great unit at a great price. I mentioned the strengths and weaknesses above, but here's a shpeal from the Music123 site where I bought it regarding the feature set:
The 606 Pedal Is The Newest Entry of ZOOM Guitar Multi Effects Pedal Processors.

Question modulation, the effects are Submitted and ralistes but the pitch is really crap,
still happy that we can assign the pedals of expression and have a whammy plutt INTERESTED (although crap too).
The trs distos really good (all diffrent and all useful), including METAL 7TH, a large distortion for hollow metal
which does not lack of attack, and MS DRV, a simulation of distortion marshall trs really impressive, fat but clean, with this particular stamp
typ Marshall, great for all styles.
There are three amp simulations: Combo, Bright Combo, and Stack.
Needless to say that Stack is the best if you want to sound pais. Combo offer a more sharp and bright clump mdiumis combo sound
Fenderesque. But then the sound is pure simulation without ...
I use it with a Chicago team Washburn EMG and Crate 65W amp and a whore, without this multi-purpose I would be nothing.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 4 months.
The particular feature I like most is the fucking Marshall type distortion, and the least this Pitch limit trs. The rest is correct.
I do not think there's a better multi-effect that price l.See less00David.Revan

Wah wah for me is relatively MODR mainly due to lack of progressiv of expression pedals, but remains in the right
OVERALL OPINION
My zoom a few years, I slowly began to replace analog pedals by individual but it is multi indeed correct for those who want to invest a large sum of money and want a little goter all effects which are then replaced by carefully chosen pedals.
Qar also a good place it can be used to prampli between a guitar and a line input (sound card or even from CD to a bass amp dpanner-if, if I ' did), that's why I spare not immediately
Today I do more because I start Rasht build me a real set of pedals but I do not regret my purchase because I bought it a year APRS my electric guitar and Premire I really enjoyed playing with.
Just a quick note to indicate a weakness of the switches within a few years of heavy use and not forcment dlicat. But it's good stuff even when.See less00jojo_guitar

The sound ...
It is just beautiful! I redécouver my amps!
7 string metal sound is really nikel for players in the style steve vai or RONDAT (note that we must just add the contour), the acoustic simulation is really beautiful, in short, it should to everyone!
Small default, the expression pedal is a little sensitive when not deep and is for the adjustment of effects!
What will be worth a 8!
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for one week, to tell you! It is still easy to use!
The only thing to note is that my decision may be superficial Since this is my first pedal and I have tried no other!
But for the price (98 euro), I think it's good matéiel and that for that price you will not find better now!
9 because I can not put 8.5 but it deserves!
