All user reviews for the Zoom GFX-707

i brought this from allegro music chelmsford. i was in need of a pedal and this was in my budget. i paid £99.


this is very optional. there are so many different effects and features your guitar playing will change. distortion is brilliant the wah is brilliant basically the whole pedal is fantastic



the one thing i dislike is when changing from sounds. you have to program the pedal so you can access the sounds needed without any unwanted sounds. the problem is it is small they cannot fit a bank selector on which you can acess with your foot and you can only change sounds by going up and down.



the construction and quality is brilliant very strong and fashionable.



very good but dissapointing when changing effects.

I had already owned the zoom 505, but I was looking for an accent pedal when ZOOM came out with the 707. I traded in my 505 and paid another $100.00 CDN

This unit is GREAT for me. I can program sounds for any of the types of music I like to play. The amp selector works great for tweeking those sounds.Its fairly easy to program.The drum machine is a great bonus.

The AC adapter is crap. The cord is too short.It creates some annoying noises.Don't buy the one supplied, go to RADIO SHACK, they can set you up.

For the price this baby is well made.I don't recomend it for your next OZZY tour but for your average garage band or bedroom rocker this unit can't be beat.

I really like it. The GFX 707 is a compact unit that delivers. For the price of one pedal it gives you a hundred. Zoom you've done good.

I purchased the multieffects pedal at a store in Orlando,FL, called Discount Music. It was really cheap: 140 USD. I had already tracked it by the internet and then I visited the city on vacation, so I bought it. I chose this pedal because I thought it would be suitable for a begginer like me and it won´t get useless too soon. I was right !!


Like I said, it is great as your first experience with effects processors, and even if you are an intermediate player. Of course, if you´re Yngwe Malmsteen you´ll probably get bored. The key fact here is PRACTICE. This unit is not designed for stage jams. You could do it but the life of your pedal will reduce. Also, the features were specially thought for playing with your CD player, with yourself and with simple rhythm patterns. So, never had an effects pedal before so I liked it a lot.


Well, I would have liked the case to be more strong, but I guess that would have made it heavier, too.

Also, the sampler is too short. I never use it but some day I will experiment with it and I realize now that I won´t be able to arrange some good riffs to play along with.


The construction is good enough for your home practice sessions and the quality of the sound doesn´t disappoint you. I have never had a problem with the unit, but I strongly recommend to find something to cover it: The dust can affect its display and buttons.


I really think this is an excellent product from Zoom, regarding its price. Consider this option if you have been looking for some good processor FOR YOURSELF, at a very low price.

- There are here all the basic effects that a multi-effect must be: delay, chorus, OD, distortion, wah wah ... etc etc more effects that come with zoom Souvant regulars took the mark to bottom!
- It has an instrument input jack and a stereo output - mono.

UTILIZATION

-Use is quite simple, no need for them to know ... perfect for beginners or those who do not want to take the head.
the manual is simple.
-The edition sounds simple, but mostly limited ... there is something even qd customize your own sounds, but quickly becomes very repetitive ca ...

SOUND QUALITY

-I 've tested the first time this effect on a good sound system, stereo sound was very present, with good depth in the effects of delay and wah wah coupled with a slight distortion.
-But on my amp (marshall AVT100) is something else ... especially regarding the "big" disto ... the sound will quickly suffocate ...

AC Preska concert becomes a suplies for the ears .... DON'TS therefore make the big distortion, for that, your better now possess the BOSS ME-50 and then have a special pedal

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for too longtps ... I can more ...
For lack of means, I had to have a pedal in an emergency Kaliti average Kwalitee compared with a super price!
Ca dir on anything!! Cheap for what it is!

but this is not a pedal to the scene, especially its level.

So if you want a cheap truk ki will serve you, so there is, sounds are correct, there bcp effects present, the OD is not bad, and the slight distortion as well.
To rock or funk sound is not bad at all, but if you want big sound, power and depth in your sound, you need a bigger wallet, and then invest in another pedal or amp ...

Same as other reviews
Effects processor is not bad but not great quality

UTILIZATION

For that its a good point I think.
One can very easily edit sounds frankly not compliké cest.
The manual is quite complete

SOUND QUALITY

The sound: there is a problem.
I used the User with a small amp 15W AC Park and suited me.
But now jai a marshall JCM2000 has lamps and ke I plug my sound is all rotten. I really lost all the dynamic qualities of my amp with ca, cest as if my lights were longer.

OVERALL OPINION

The sound is not great for a big amp. but first and above the price at which one can wash cavaut bang for shabituer to use this kind of stuff. I recommend it for beginners all the same because I was happy with jen for a while.
Ki have the User for those on stage. I recommend it or rotten tomatoes will fall on you.

Digital multi effect
4 modules:
- Compression distortion: acoustic guitar simulator, crunch, overdrive, distortion, fuzz, lead, metal, all with or without compression
-Zoom Noise Reduction / EQ: noise reduction, équlaisation (bass, mid, treble, presence)
- Modulation: chorus, flanger, phase, tremolo, pan, wah wah, step, pitch, ring modulator, filter, tremolo
- Reverb: reverb and delay varying according Jamer

+ Expression pedal assigned to one of the modules.

You can combine all 4 modules, but NEVER use a module in effect .... um, for example, it is impossible to have phaser and flanger at the same time.
There is also an amp simulator.

Connectors: Input, Output, 9V

In this section "features" I put 7 / 10, because the zoom offers many possibilities, the expression pedal is very handy.

UTILIZATION

The manual is comprehensive, step by step guide for use and editing of all aspects of the multi effects.
It easily grabs the ball to find its own presets. The bank of presets is divided into two, one part that can be erased as and when his own creations, another "indestructible."

I put 8 / 10 because everything is very well explained and easy access.

SOUND QUALITY

I am clear for this part, no effect of the zoom is good in the sense that it is not worth a tenth of a simple effect of quality.
This ranges from medium to very nil.
The worst in my opinion is the distortion module, the overdrive to the fuzz, it's really very bad.
ZNR is effective, the equalizer, if we are not looking too ... .
modulations are sometimes interesting, the wah is not waw, you can still have fun with some things like the pitch, ...
The delay and reverb is the least bad I say.

3 / 10 for sound, AC is worth.

OVERALL OPINION

I started guitar 5 years ago, and when I found the first group, I had to amuse myself a little. I was looking for something not too expensive, that allows to open my ears to a little more different sounds. From this side, I was served when we know not what a phaser is a fuzz or a filter, there were all on hand. I had an amp bofbof, I did not play, so not worth for me to invest in high-end hardware. If you are in this case, I can only recommend it (there may be too full of stuff and even cheaper, but I do not know).

Now, if you have a bit of money, if you already have a good or a good guitar amp, it would be a shame to spend money for that. Trying to save a little to nab something with sound quality more appropriate to your level. That's what I did, and I can tell you we feel the difference!

So for a beginner who wants to discover the sounds and play with his pals in his garage, I put 7 / 10.
But the sounds are really bad when we start to have the experience, zoom drunk quickly. More after 4 years of selection buttons have not aged well (though I'm not a bully), there is poor contact. For all this I put 4 / 10, non-negotiable.

Deja said.

UTILIZATION

So I never opened the manual, because it's the kind of book that does not read m'insite. In a little fiddling, you can find how it works, it at least that.

SOUND QUALITY

This pedal is a pedal "discovery of different sounds" in a pedal soi.Les effects are mediocre and sincerely when one gains experience, we realize that in fact it was more sound as found on guitar was 20euros in stores for as little real effect. Nevertheless, when we can really move towards bcp possibilities with this pedal, which is an advantage when seeking their own sound. THE most annoying thing if you play in a group and want to make your own sounds, forget it especially if you have them repeat it before because in terms of volume, the high will add to its liking and the sound is completely yucky and you too you Paske set your effect pdt one hour at low volume, and it's more of everything you want.

OVERALL OPINION

It's a good pedal for beginners and enjoy the sounds. Nevertheless I would be more avi to tell you; better to have an effect one after another, take time to choose and not to regret that take suddenly, and realize after a year that AC did not help. A year? I'm optimistic.

Everything has been said before.
Very complete with a bonus sampler and an expression pedal for the same price
Zoom, what!
A big downside in my case: the connections are far too fragile for such a machine! I had to reinforce if not more sounds at the slightest movement of jack!

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use and in each mode. Record clear (with a magnifying glass).
Many effects. Chaining is sufficient to obtain sound correct, but no more.
Sounds easy to edit ... and fortunately for those factories were made as usual by a hearing-impaired.
For those who want patches, go to: http://gfx.curvedspaces.com/
You'll find it takes!

SOUND QUALITY

Since most of these devices, the GFX 707 requires precise adjustment depending on the amp.
I find interesting amp simulators, output amplifier or PA system.
Qantas quality sound, one has for his money (it's not ruin), not more ... but not moins.On has done better since then, including the G21u ... Zoom.

OVERALL OPINION

Multi-practice effects and sound quality moyenne.Fabrication cheap ... but let us not forget that this is a good entry level. In this case, it initiates the processing of sounds correctly. I like the overdrive sounds and lead. I own the G21u, much better in sound quality and workmanship but I keep the GFX 707, more "readable" in publishing.
I played on a Hughes & Kettner tube 20 and a small PA system.
Value for money right now but exceeded ... fortunately!

Multiple patch users (editable and storable) plants and patches. The sound effects are numerous (compression, crunch, overdrive, distortion, fuzz, reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, ringmodulateur, equalizer, noise gate, wah ,...)
- A Master
- Simulations of amps and speakers
- 3 pots that allow adjustments and modifications in real time
- 2 switches
- 1 Expression Pedal
A drum machine, a sampler and a tuner

UTILIZATION

Fast and easy, good ergonomics, user manual is clear

SOUND QUALITY

I use this multi-effects with a good guitar from home Lag, which plays a lot in sound quality.
The palette of sounds available is broad and multi-effects prove to appropriate property of good qualities.
The distos are many and varied with many colors
The sounds do not sound too "metal" or "synthetic" unlike some multi-effects of major brands.
The equalizer is complete but needs a little time to reach an output sound having a not too aggressive (too steep to be too serious) for the eardrums
The amp and speaker are very nice for listening with headphones.
The overall effects are modest and sound sufficiently "natural"

OVERALL OPINION

Very good value for money
A good first multi-purpose. This model is frequently renewed and reissued
However, over time it takes the wrong road and started to wear (including switches and expression pedal.

Well everything has already been said I think ...
Still very limited, it quickly turns around, and patches "factories" are horrible.

UTILIZATION

Configuration of the patches could not be more simple. Reset on that side.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are great ... Dummies! Frankly, I much prefer my little pedal!

The whawha, I never managed to understand how we can set it so that it makes whawha?! there are effects that are useless, function or scratch JAM frankly I see no ... the distos are to die of laughter ... nice single point, the sampler (although 6 seconds is not very long ... need a riff very short, otherwise it will not fit and when to do a loop that takes the "rhythm", it is the stroke of luck, even by metant all his concentration to press start / stop, it is mission impossible. The drum machine is nice too, but have not abuse it, it quickly takes the lead.

OVERALL OPINION

It was my first multi-effects ... and the last in fact, I prefer a pedal in effect, each man his job and the cows will be well guarded as they say (well, matter of taste I suppose ...). The value for money was very good at the time or I had nothing and certainly not money ... A remake, I do not do it again this choice obviously, but yet I kept the zoom: too practical to play some stuff for the holidays among friends p'tites .... is the branch has the mini-chain, we ballance the drum machine or a sample and off you go! ah yes, I also used tuner hihihi!

While bin for the kinds of effects is quite simple, so it's multi effects are all one "needs" distos flanger phaser delay even a drum machine.
no midi interface; not connected to a PC for the price ... well c a luxury!
I use it to its tuner function ... is the fact that at least the sound of the guitar, I used my distos on stage people thought it was a comedy show! no coment

UTILIZATION

The config is super simple No pb!
everything is easy not need manual!

SOUND QUALITY

While the effects are realistic dasn far it is to do the remake of star wars if you want, I said anything, played guitar passz your way!
I like the tuner
I hate everything else!

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using it long enough to tell you never to make that choice!
I now use an ax 1500g Korf c 10000 times better even if it is multi purpose!
value for money is not top quality for this because the price is too high!
Obviously I do Jamai remake that choice!!
matter of taste! tt in case I like it!

The effects available are all that is the therm attantion rack or stomp, everything is there, flanger, reverb, wah-wah ... etc

UTILIZATION

It super easy to use, quick to use, lightweight and gueuele nice.

SOUND QUALITY

Effects? ..... terrible !!!!!!! when it set a sound and obviously when we understand how the rule in relation to what is used as an instrument or amp, personally, I do not know baucoup people who can properly adjust a rack.
satus are terrible and the good, you just need to figure out how walking frequencies and voila. ah, yes, I forgot for those who do not understand the audio, play with a rack any kind on an amp managed to marshall style lamp ... well you'll necessarily something disgusting (for the physicists understand). when you have a rack, use neutral amps and you'll see the difference.

OVERALL OPINION

Since all the time and I am delighted. the price is right and I have not seen another rack capable of obtaining a grain as fine.
