UTILIZATION

Despite the many opportunities trs, trs rvele use is simple, the manual is clear and french illustrated schmas and many other tables.

The patch is to select a vanglique simplicity and modification / Fast Fashion also, big news can be attributed a patch kit and a battery rgler volume gnral This allows the select to Get You Started without directly intervening in the case.
The pedals of expression is more efficient and CONTRL Settings, the tuner is prcis trs.
Rduction a function of speed of a sample piece can transplant a solo fourth normal speed without changing the pitch of the song (ie without PForm)

Major default user (which already exists in the Previous 707): select the button battery kits is too sensitive and does not facilitate the passage of another kit. .. nerva
A button for the largest walking CONTRL stopping the drum kit would be useful.
The sampler temperatures requiring a look in the documentation before you use it well.
While reading the sampler can not use the battery pack simultanment.

SOUND QUALITY

No miracle! 160 euros there is good and not so good ...
The quality gnrale effects amliore markedly from the 707 version 1.
First of all patches are a little forced (often the case on the multi-effects) on a Fender sounds are powerful lamps rvlent done everything exploitable via a lightweight rglage.
The distos are numerous and are especially effective and quiet, the crunch ncessitent rglage an end as always, to modulations when the quality is variable but on the whole correct.
The three acoustic simulations are dcevantes an efficiency close to zero, for the use of an electro-acoustic I use the patch that CATS rvle much more usable.
Finally, the Zoom 707II is effective when it is coupled to a single coil stratocaster however it is dcevant type humbuckers with Gibson.

My simulations prfres:
the FUZZ, METAL ZONE, V. HALEN, FATCLEAN, PAT MET, OLDVIBE, SELF-WHA and WHA.

OVERALL OPINION

The highlight of the ZOOM 707II is the quality of PCM battery kit well suprieur Korg or Digitec and train home is the top (in the context of amateur use), no complication programming as the rhythm boxes, intgration in patches, adjustable volume.

The pleasure of playing fast without taking the cabbage with rglages and a palette of sounds trs varis in all styles, finally thanks to the complete removal of ZNR HUM of single coil pickups. It's good!

Concurents direct (and Digitec RP200 Korg AX100G) they are better in simulation but not as good as the more expensive battery pack.

Also many patches are available on the WEB
