UTILIZATION

The use of 8080 is pdalier trs comfortable Studio, or scne rpt. It possde 2 pedals (expression / volume control: Wahwah, open filter, distortion, dosage effect). It's a product that is versatile and allows trs rgler of the gain of a single Manir and especially ... breathless!

SOUND QUALITY

Excellent. It is a product that many guitarists are happy trs, trs is also rare to find second-hand.
I use the zoom 8080 as pdalier Home Studio Guitar and Vocals on Pdalier scne. The particularity of this product is that it can be adapted to multiple configurations and instruments: guitar, bass, microphone, wind instrument, etc.. The effects on offer are original and effective trs.
The compressor can possibly CRER noise noisy if it is too sensitive RULES but as a general rule, there is no problem.

OVERALL OPINION

Excellent, other products such as A1500G come complter zoom range but has been difficult as well.

Music @ parliaments
Dr. Frog

The device is easily programmable with a readable screen and a trs connector complete

UTILIZATION

The manual is very well explained can be programmed easily

SOUND QUALITY

The sound effects are trs Varis.
the distal arch are nazes they sound artificial trs
wha wha are the artificial means always with an expression pedal up or down a staircase of her instead of a ramp
Deadlines are not bad and also reverb
as the chorus but not the phaser
This unit has many effects but what is it for if there is no good considering the sale price of bte, the 9000 series was much more successful pro sound level

OVERALL OPINION

I used this multi effect for 2 years ending with jute guitar in the amp because even in stand by it was not transparent.

For specifications, see the previous opinion. I would add that the machine already has a lépoque a control output for external amplifier channels, configurable patch and Quon is based on using a mono or stereo cable, so boss or other nont invent anything. In addition, it has a 3rd controller: two switches up / down, same-configurable patch.

No midi in.
A loop send / return.
Amp simulator.

UTILIZATION

Manuel very clear. Machine easy to use. Configuration of the machine very quickly assimilated.

SOUND QUALITY

Personally, I do not find the effects worse than Boss or Korg. And not out of fo, the distos are better than GT5 or the GX700, and it has some special effects present in other brands.

4-second delay, pitch shifter from -2 to 2 octaves, pitch delay up to 1 second (the transposed down with The interval chosen each time according to the tempo chosen).

simulator acoustic guitars. Frankly in full effect.

Patch is assigned by the effects lon want for the 3 controllers.

Is assigned the function chosen for the switch "manual" or ON / OFF the effects (a we choose from the list deffets), tuner, etc ...

OVERALL OPINION

I bought a lai its release, then resold ago qqs years, but saw the machines had jai, the comparison was well qualitprix the road, its design plastic that made me a little scared.
jai models had other brands before and after, but + expensive, so comparison not necessarily welcome.

Personally, I prefer GT5 (not for the quality effects !!!), but for the design and metal limplementation noon.

Anyway, good machine, and better than the boss GT6!

Everything is a wonder of sounds and effects, very complicated to configure, but it is high tech, I do not like the presets, many ultra, but you can change ....

UTILIZATION

Not very simple, but I think a beast .... LIVE broadly comparable to roland VG8 of Epok same, but + look expensive with its stealth aircraft (the roland) ... and even worse to use .... the chorus flanger are ultra fine (I have to pedal boss and dod jap) .. ALSO PLEASE! the distortion and overdrive powerful, provided to remove the compression and acute attnuer a little .... the equalizer is ultra prcis ... output and line out gniales ...

SOUND QUALITY

In short I can not get enough, I discovered a little each day ... + a pure bte, a small price okaz ..... Very hard to find ... even the wah is bluffing, (I have the legendary 80's IBZ WH10 + jimi vox an original, a knob and a terrible view I do not even know the brand, all chrome, and HUGE) so I think I know what a wah .. the zoom a!! not to mention the TS9-TS808, Boss HM2, turbo distortion, octave, flanger tc elec, and the gift of steve vai whammy .. good stop. Zoom's class. but know the master .. is tedious, a little boring at beginners, but after, SUPER !!!!!

OVERALL OPINION

Enough said.
... mconnue a wonder .. for those who love the natural sounds, rock, hard, blues, surf, or totally Barrs .. he can do ..... Manual required ..

See more advice for CHARACTERISTICS
which is not bad is that this little pdalier become a preamp ...

UTILIZATION

The configuration is a bit complicated my taste, but with the manual, it's OK without problem.

SOUND QUALITY

For me, the effect well stick with the music I play. I play heavy metal and the distorted sounds of 8080 I trs end 80 beginners 90.
just be that people who make the music more modern vintage or find it too modern or too Exceeds but for me, a lamp good amp, good guitar, two jack and zoom 8080 and we went to shake the head ...

I like the distortion effect and full of fun that does not serve too DEFINITIONS.
I like the least reverbs

OVERALL OPINION

I pdalier the past dozen years
I like the tuner, the distortion, the fact that there have lots of pedals and all prampli cot.
I like less the reverbs and the fact that I had to redo because the welds 6 input jack do that thanks to the printed circuit therefore has the force of nitre and remove the jacks, ended up aa to unsolder.
o the era I bought this Zoom, c'tait almost what was best. was worth the arm and a leg. I test stuff and that the silent great. Now imagine that there are plenty of multi-purpose much better, but you should find it used for a mouth bread. if mine lche I think I would take a multi-effect by looking for the lamp but all the same cot 80-90.

not really non-numerical

* Are they editable? Via a publisher Mac / PC?
I do not think

* What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI)
noon jack

* Is this a rack or rack-mount model?



UTILIZATION


* The general configuration is simple?
yes it is enough when veteran of MFX

* Editing of sounds and effects is easy?
if we have a little gray matter that should not pose pbl

* The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
not need to trick it!


SOUND QUALITY

The effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough?
Frankly yes, I plug in my hi-fi in default of my old dsl 401 and it works very hard, sounds are worthy of a recording studio even the red bean side has disappointed me

Which instruments do you use?
ibanez steve vai 77dvy / ibanez jpm pretucci p3 / esp m II Deluxe

Which ones do you prefer, you hate?
Not bad overall, the distortion are biting, digging, or muscular celon EQ, chorus and delay are other very good, I put a little more for quality execllent integrated analog delay, I do swear by it ds melodies, also appreciates the opportunity to input a dynamic distortion or PREAM exterior is is not the case today mfx ds

OVERALL OPINION


* For how long have you been using it?
for 1 month, but the bike has called easy

* What thing do you like most/least about it?
instinctive as craft,

* Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Yes Boss GT3 (bof), Boss GX700 (gt5 the rack bof), and the pod 2.0, such (bof bof bof)

* What is your opinion about the value for the price?
RAS

* Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
If I had known I will have purchased its output, but it is good that he at least with its "made in japan" we feel confident to play, it does not take a ride.

an old friend had bought it but it interests me not more than that young and carefree qd gt ^ ^ but I do remember that back .......

with all the testing I found that MFX cest one of the best I've had. his edition was instinctive in 15 minutes I'm all full of the bike (I'd never had in the past) to play and sounded very 90 'it is a good machine, disto respond well to my expectation digging, cutting is happiness,

a big positive point the 2 volume pedal is a gift and the other expression, there is little effect assigned to it has passed off without the patch changed without forgotten the possibility of increasing the mix of an effect with the control switch.

it very complete and well-targeted choice, in my opinion it is better to know that we want to play for the operator rather than the reverse may be disappointed

Finally, I would say the opportunity to return to the series in a tube amp is a very good thing without forgotten the possibility also supplemented with external effect planned for back in the pedal, in short, a complete machine!

The negative point, cest actually welding the jack which is frankly neglected and bruised easily.
