    Beware guitars with effects ...

    I will not repeat here what is said elsewhere, Zam Power actually works fine on my guitar Seagull S6 ... But not with my Ibanez Montage. And this is to warn the owners of this type of guitar I just do this post. The assembly is equipped with effects (chorus, reverb, distortion) that require probably a power (not just a matter of voltage, so) that is not issued by the Zam Power.
    So: Very good for guitars with (pre) classical amplification (a real solution!), But not for others ...

    Used for a few weeks.
    Finally, a good way to pass batteries!
    Buying essential to all those who have had a moment alone on stage because of flanchent batteries.
    The sound is absolutely unchanged on my bass, not more presence, not more volume, or other changes that I've read here and there, and so much the better! I did not buy it to change the sound of my bass that I love as it is, but just to do without batteries!
    I find it a bit expensive (especially once € 35 shipping added!) But since I had two 9V batteries that I changed 5-6 times a year, the purchase will be quickly amortized.
    Small flat, the supplied cable is very short and cheap to me and I would not venture on stage.

    I got a nice big beefy 6m cable and roll!

    I use the ZAM since December 2010. I had to make any changes on my basses (Warwick Streamer Jazzman and Custom Warmoth JB-like).

    If you are here, I guess you know the usefulness of ZAM and on this point, reliability is the rendezvous. Batteries, it's over for me.

    The big question that is puzzling: do we really sound better with new batteries?
    Personally, I was surprised at his first connection, clear and dynamic. But I do not know what is the element of subjectivity in this judgment. Anyway, what to see and that is irrefutable is that the sound is better than a battery that has aged a bit. The assurance of having a quality of its stable and linear is the most important to me.

Anyway, what to see and that is irrefutable is that the sound is better than a battery that has aged a bit. The assurance of having a quality of its stable and linear is the most important to me.

    There are some small things that are important to know about using:
    - We must of course plug his bass directly to the ZAM so it will take place in the string entry in your pedalboard. This is not necessarily a problem though. I personally do not use pedals so I put it in my rack.
    - Little remark which follows directly from the previous one: there are no plans to fix it in a rack box. I squeeze between my compressor and my amp, which is enough to hold it in place but ideally a system for proper catch would have been handy.
    - Having a dummy cell is not always practical. For example, when I plug my bass directly into my mixer, I have to remove the ZAM of my rack box. It's also annoying to match backstage before a concert, you can not plug the bass directly into the tuner.
    - Last little problem is that the system works with a stereo jack and supply is significantly reduced compared to standard cables. I can not find a stereo jack 6m with an angled plug on one side for example. We must also mention all the colored cables, fabric and other fantasies.

    Despite these minor drawbacks, I am very satisfied with the ZAM and I can only recommend it.
    Next evolution, a wireless ZAM? :-)
