This is a real toolbox, there are all the classic effects (distortion, chorus, delay, ... more a good range of surprising effects as a Metalizer, not at all a realistic emulation of the sitar, but so much fun, filters to make a twisted sci-fi soundtrack).
Technology, I really know is not the lamps in any case.
No publisher computer (no interest due to the ease and speed to edit the device).
Everything you need is here in connection (audio input, stereo output to the MIDI dumps).
Rackable yes (supplied with the brackets signed "Zoom" for installation.
UTILIZATION
It's very simple: the 9050 has 2 banks of 100 patches each. Each patch can then be adjusted using a chain effect (memory: compressor-> distortion-> Noise-> EQ-> amp simulator-> fx1-> fx2-> Special FX-> reverb). The original sounds (200 so) give an interesting preview of the possibilities (large enough), but was quick to publish it as simple as the ideas come fast.
We arrive to find their way quickly into the architecture of this multi-effects, it's really one of his strengths, we do not waste time searching the manual for the slightest change.
SOUND QUALITY
In absolute terms, it is surely far from the quality of processors pros. For the price, I find that this machine offers sounds very honorable.
Personally, I use is very wide as it can be used to record my guitars (less often since I purchased a TonePort), voice synthesizers, or even (this is where I discovered late: some effects at the output of a synth really give a whole new dimension to the sound).
I had acquired at the time to replace a multi-purpose korg (A5?) Because the zoom has a pitch-shifter and harmonizer. I was never very convinced by the final effect. However, I really learned to use all other effects with this machine.
My favorite effects: the delays, reverbs (yes, I know why they are criticized by fiddling we manage to produce all colors), EQ (effective), phaser, tremolo and crunch (both on guitar, voice synthesizer that gives a special warmth to the sound).
Those that I never use: flanger (I find this too typed) hyperdrive (I liked 15 years, but good on its lack of precision, that drool and it lacks dynamics).
OVERALL OPINION
This is one of my oldest possessions in music (bought in 1993 I believe), it is also probably one of the ones I used most. There are plenty of machines much better no doubt, but what makes this one so endearing is, again, the speed with which you can edit sounds and variety of effects available. From this point of view, it is a good machine for a price today must be ridiculous.
I am a bit sentimental, my decision can not be very objective, it certainly gives her a little cold, according to the synthetic effects used, it can distort the original sound (is it what he application?) and produces background noise according to the effects enabled and intensity.
Still, I remain very attached and I still use it regularly now for my models. It is really ideal for recording anything when you want a specific well. I also used to boeuffer with friends with a guitar and it went very well for both traditional sounds to create atmosphere zarb (then add an expression pedal and en route to Jupiter).
A big flaw that makes use live complicated when changing patch with the original pedal, the sound cut for 1 / 4 of a second (if you change the sound during the same title, expect moments of silence to perform the operation smooth). I do not know if this delay is due to multi-effects or pedals.
As I said I had used a Korg multi-effects pedal with red and black integrated (but really practical low-end). The Zoom has opened new horizons at the time.
I do not know if I would do such a choice today with the information amount, effects pedals and other machines that I could buy later. But it never occurred to me the idea of separating.
