Digital or not, one of the best pedals you can run in front of your old Fender tube amps like Deluxe or Princeton Reverbs

I ignored these things for years. Too much gear around to worry about a Zoom Multistomp. I a Boss GT100 and also have a Boss GT1000, and just returned a Zoom G11, and replaced that with a smaller Zoom G6. I wanted a SMALL multi I could stick in my guitar case and use for a guitar preamp, tremolo and reverb, and also had a tuner. This delivers. You can easily download more effects.
I use it with a Whirlwind and plug it directly into a XLR into the board. Almost always clean, I use use a Fender Twin type preamp, (NOT into the front of my amps, just into the Whirlwind) one of the various reverbs (but usually Spring), and tremolo. I set it up to where I can footswitch the tremolo on and off, but I can also make a couple patches and cycle through them. I usually don't bother since all I really need is one core tone for most of my sets.

Normally I'll have one of the floor running into a Fender Princeton Reverb (which has it's own reverb and tremolo that sounds great), and use it for the tuner and like a Univibe or Delay. If I have 2 amps, I can run it stereo and ping-pong which sounds pretty cool in a small church. I doubt it would work that great in large venues but I mostly play small churches, nursing homes (where nobody really cares about tone), and the like .

At home I use an adapter to power them, but when I'm playing out I just use rechargable ni-cad batteries so I can stick them whereever I want and have one less thing to worry about.

I set up a handful of patches I can scroll through. I can make my Les Paul (or ES175) sound more like an acoustic OR use the parametric EQ to make either sound more Teleish. Then I can use one of those patches and add the compressor and light overdrive or phaser for that outlaw 70s Waylon sound. Then hit it again for one that makes my Princeton sound more like one of my Polytones. Or kick in the Leslie patch. I can show up at a gig with a guitar, amp, and this MS50G and be ready to play whatever I need for the show. Although I now have a Boss MS3, I STILL use my MS50G in one of the loops to continue to use some of the patches I created that I really like.

Not all the sounds are absolutely great, but enough of them are to easily justify the price. Especially for what the go for used. I primarily play jazz, gospel, and old country. So for me, the compressor, reverb, tremolo/vibrato/vibe, tuner, phaser is worth the price of admission. Once it's set up it keeps me from lugging one of the big multieffect units or a bunch of pedals. And all for not for much more then a decent tuner costs.

Solid multi-effect pedal

My parents got this for me for Christmas a few years ago, I play it a couple times a week. It feels very nice and solid, and there are a lot of effect options. None of them that I've tried are outstanding, I'd say, but by no means is anything bad. A solid 4.5 stars. The reverb sounds pretty good.

Great value swiss army knife pedal

This hits the spot in ways most multi effects units fall short. I love the interface, really intuitive - I felt like I had mastered it in about 3 minutes. I think the way they have it set up as a virtual pedalboard is genius.

While almost all of the presets are totally goofy (you can delete them all thankfully) and small handful of the effects are equally ridiculous, all of the meat-and-potatoes stuff sounds excellent. Thanks to the editor, you can choose which effects you want stored on the pedal, so you can delete those cheesy ones you hate and never have to scroll past them again. I was really impressed with their emulations of a Boss OD-1/SD-1 (Overdrive) and an Ibanez TS-808 (TS Drive).

With real-world analog pedals I tend to run an overdrive set for clean boost, into a slapback delay, into a subtle reverb pedal, then into the amp. I prefer to run pedals sitting on top of my amp instead of on the floor, just less stage clutter. Trying to find good-sounding and reliable pedals in a compact format to make this possible is tough without spending an arm or a leg. This pedal allowed me to condense that whole setup into a single unit, for about the price of one decent delay pedal.

All in all, I'm extremely happy with this pedal - now I have my live tone in a single grab-and-go box.

The effects are good, the tuner works, and it is really easy to use.

It sounds quite good, it has many effects including more common ones such as distortion, reverb, delay, and chorus. And it also has more "fun" effects (that you could still do something unique and creative with) such as reverse delay, trigger hold delay, etc.

The firmware and controls are really well designed, it is easy to use and making changes to settings, or switching between multiple presets with the footswitch is really easy.

It eats (AA, not 9V) batteries quite quickly though, so I heavily reccommend plugging it into an outlet, or a pedal power supply.

The best multieffects unit if you have other analog pedals!

This multieffect is perfect. It really is. These are some things you can do: -you can easily edit the effects that you like on a live/rehearsal situation -you can have just all the effects that you want plus the tuner. -It have tap tempo -You can ALSO have multiple patches and change between them like any other bigger multieffect -With the manager effect (on pc or mac) you can set it up this pedal with just the effects that you want, like ,just compressors, distortions, or whatever effects do you want to use on this. -Its the perfect multieffect pedal to your pedalboard by its size -You cant go wrong with this , and also is old, so now have a big cult fans that had made many patches and things on forums (reddit also)

this is your new best friend

This is the kind of guy who saves your wallet while giving u loads of fun, cheap fx (there are some effects that are not so good, but it has really good reverbs, delays, distortions...), a pc editor (saving u some time dialing, saving and renaming stuff) can stack up to 6 fx (and sometimes only 2 becasuse some reverb and delays are bigger than the other fx for the processor) and fits anywhere in your pedalboard or as a standalone pedal.

It Does It All

...but with varying degrees of success.

It's a great toy for someone who wants access to a box full of effects (170 or so at last count), but there is no emulator in there that will sound as good as the thing it's trying to copy. Usually it's not even close.

Every time I play with it I forget how to use the mixed up interface of death and end up using it in the most simple way with one single pedal (if can stack 6 pedal emulations if you use it enough to remember how to work the dynamic interface buttons).

Not for serious work, but great as a toy to discover what you can do and where you need to go.

Awesome rockin' robot

This pedal is unbelieveable. If you're totally anti-digital, stop reading right now.

To the open-minded, effects addicted guitarrist, read my words: This is an awesome pedal. It will take more than 1 month to figure out how to use everything inside this pedal and it's a jack of all trades. Everything inside it is useful: I was able to go from Gilmour, through Lifeson and all the way to the 2000's metal with the effects inside this. Awesome pedal for tone-seeking. Period.

PS: If you're a new guitarrist, this is for you as well, because it's got pretty much everything you're going to need to discover your own style and sounds.

One of my favorite pieces of gear and a lofi powerhouse

AMAZING! This does so much at a suprising price. Bought two! Handle time based effects well and a great splitter, perfect for any pedalboard.

Swiss army knife

I use this more in the studio for odd sounds. I use the octave down for my bass sounds along with its various amp models and i use the POG effect mixed with the rotary speaker and reverb to create organ sounds.
