Published on 06/26/01 at 15:00I 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.
