MGR/Anonymous « Zoom GFX 707 Multi Effects Processor »
Published on 07/23/01 at 15:00I purchased the GFX 707 about a year ago from Bill's music in Peabody Mass.I paid about
$130.00 and it's worth every penny!
I'm in a band that plays predominantly cover material and needed a selection of sounds to emulate the covers as close as possible
I specifically was looking for a talk box at the time of purchase. I not only found an effect in the GFX 707 that came pretty close to what I was looking for, I also found a pretty vast array of sounds available to me.
I particularly like the drum machine option which is great for practicing scales and timing. The beats per minute can be increased or decreased depending on an individual's speed level. There are some effects I haven't even gotten around to using yet!
I give it a "5" out of a 1-5 rating especially for the price!!!!
The only thing I can think of is that there's almost too many effects. They are also rather difficult to access when playing live (part of this is due to the fact that I havent programmed them into an assigned bank yet.)
It looked a little fragile to me at first, so I made a road case for it. However, I like the unit so much that I bought another one for backup since we play out quite a bit.
The large LED display is great onstage, but is very hard to see in a daytime/outdoor setting.
Having never had an effects processor before, I was sceptical and cautious about spending too much $$$.
As I mentioned before, I find the GFX 707 worth every penny. For my current purposes, I'm using the talk box(F5), Van Halen (4.4), and Distortion (0.1) settings. It's nice to know that there are many more options and practice aids available in a cost consious unit
Thanks Zoom!!!
