All user reviews of 4/5 for the Zoom MultiStomp MS-70CDR

See all other reviews very explicit.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration leaves me a little skeptical - I'm used to editing on a Mustang Floor whose "programming" seems to me more intuitive. The manual is quite understandable, however the overall architecture of menus asked an adaptation and "auto-save" function time I was a little confused at first.
Effect settings themselves are ultra-simple and very effective. However, I will put a damper on the overall architecture of the management menus and logic.
This pedal may agree to make the scene using personal presets on the express condition of not having too since selects using the single footswitch making the scroll in the order of the list of presets. Imagine having to go from 1st to 30th with a single button!

SOUND QUALITY

Effects, there is a plethora! And the plethora there is something to find happiness.
I use this Multistomp loop in my Fishman Aura for my electroacoustic guitars (Epiphone EL-00 pro, Hanika BASIS cut) primarily for the Reverb and echo.
The sound quality is a bit variable depending on the effects, but never bad it seems to me. Some reverb, echo, chorus seemed to me really good given the price of the machine. In comparison with my pedals TC Electronic Hall of Fame and Flashback, was not done all at the same quality (a little something artificial with the Zoom, but can be compensated by slightly reducing acute effect), but it is not very far. In condition of scene, with frequent hazards quality sound, this Multistomp can, in my opinion, get away handily in sound quality.
I also tried this Multistomp in the loop of my amp Egnater Rebel Combo Laney CUB12R I dedicated to my electric guitars, and I was amazed by the sound quality.
The factory presets seem to me against mostly clear!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month. I have not been around very precisely all the effects available (and I never will there too!): I quickly picked the ones that suited me best and confined myself to those there. Must say I'm not a big fan of tweaking sounds: with 4 presets properly adjusted, it largely covers my needs.
What I like most: there fine echoes and reverb, easily adjustable; ditto for the chorus. The presence of a filter gate. Setting menus effects themselves are simple, intuitive and effective
What I like least: the edit / save presets a bit confusing for me system. The color of the box! (Not important!)
The quality / price? really excellent!
I would do this choice? Oh yes! Besides, I'll buy an extra to incorporate into my pedalboard for electric guitars for use in modulation effects (next to my pedals TC Electronic Hall of Fame and Flashback) and substitution TC Nova Modulator that operates capriciously.

A compact pedal energizable by two LR06 batteries or 9V boss sector format. MS-70-R is part of the Zoom pedals compact shipping DSP simulating other belongings, here mainly Chorus, delay and reverb.

UTILIZATION

In front, not in the loop, stereo with two Fender.
Manual available in French, effects list (many emulation existing gear or existed) available on the site. Rather clear and not mistranslated. Easy Edition

SOUND QUALITY

Then the sound: I have a TC Flashback, a Line 6 M9 and racks home studio style TC M-one or Boss SE-70. I did some comparisons:
The delays are correct: in the average and there is choice. More than Line 6.
Chorus: The highlight of this machine, the choice of a lot better than Line 6 has always been pretty bad on the subject (M series and Pod)
The Reverb, I'm a little disappointed, a notch below the rack TC M-one example (I plugged in front of my amps for comparison), probably a bit better than the M9-Line 6. Still, for the price it is ok, but probably the TC Hall of Fame is doing better. So if you want reverbs a bit thin, forget the MS 70CDR you will be disappointed.

OVERALL OPINION

2 weeks. In my opinion, the best offer in terms of simulation effects Chorus / pitch the market. Pretty close as if the Line 6 M9 for delays, but accessibility to tap tempo here is less flexible. Say congestion and philosophy are different ...

Several things could still be improved:
A second switch for tap tempo would be a real plus.
Correction of minor quirks ergonomics: the ability to bypass multiple effects at once with the "Line Selector" is good, but when a patch containing multiple effects is loaded, it always loads the last, not the "line selector", suddenly, several manipulation 'are essential if one wishes to the entire patch ON / OFF. Shame!
Disappointed by the quality reverbs, very colorful. Should be more natural algorithms, less dark, thinner because even in a guitar amp, you can hear it. We are still far from a studio effect or an entry-level plug-in.

But compared to the price, it is still an incredible little pedal. Less flexible than the Line 6 M series, but with much better chorus and the size of a standard pedal.
When will change with better reverbs, a double switch for tap tempo, while keeping the same format?

Dedicated to modulation effects, Chorus, Delay and Reverb. 86 effects all in one pedal ... Possibility of up to 6 combined together.
There are tremolo, phaser equlizer, noise gate ... etc ... Complete list and description on the website zoom https://www.zoom.co.jp/products/ms-70cdr/spec/

UTILIZATION

A small manual, read in 10 minutes, can master the pedal fast enough.
Once ergonomics well assimilated, it is very powerful and allows a lot of anything yet simple and far from gas plants that I already had ...

SOUND QUALITY

This is the most important point.
I was on familiar ground, since I already have the Zoom G3.
But for my use (purely in the FX loop) I wanted something more simple and dedicated to this use.
After one year of waiting, it finally decides to zoom out the MS-70CDR.
This is right what I was looking for.
Once plugged into the loop of my LoneStar Special, it eclipsed in all my other pedals (delay, chorus, tremolo ...).
The possibilities are enormous.
The sound reproduction is very good. Both Chorus, warm and do not sound all digital, the Delay and Reverb, and, given the amount proposed effects can necessarily find what you are looking for.

To get a better idea I'm a Review video in 3 parts (Chorus 1 = / 2 = 3 = Reverb and Delay) = UUpCZ7i043Q8kLx-BmMRrBMA

OVERALL OPINION

I've had three weeks and I'm just scratching the surface of the endless possibilities of the pedal.
A great exploration tool, and to my great relief pedalbord.
The sounds / options / price ratio is simply amazing wholes.
A very good buy for me.

I will not list all the effects present, for that it is the manufacturer's website. But to summarize found 86 digital chorus / delay / reverb (CRD) for guitar and basse.On also find pitch shifter, two équalizeurs, a noise reducer and a tuner.
The pedal seems robust, the case, the jacks and the footswitch are metal connectors.

UTILIZATION

The display is quite large and readable, especially when compared to the size of the pedal. It is quickly its presets, a bit like agençait effects on his pedalboard.
You can assign different function footswitch. For example a single snap or cut effects or a chain (with line selector function). Or record a sequence of scrolling presets.

SOUND QUALITY

I used the pedal, the output of the TORPEDO LIVE and in the loop of my amp. In all cases the sound quality is very good especially for the price of the beast. There are a lot of samples and videos on the internet to be found avis.On a fairly transparent effects and others not at all. It can range from mild chorus to its atmospheric water type synth. The bypass is good, even if you lose a bit of momentum.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this multi-effect for less than a week and I find it very good. I would have liked a more thorough management stereo, with the ability to assign effects to the left or right and can really put 6 effects following configuration in all without being limited by the CPU power. But this is to quibble because frankly for the price there is nothing to say.
