Solid concept, subpar execution
I see the MS-60B crop up on professional boards relatively frequently, thanks to this small unit's ability to cover a lot of auxiliary effects ground while taking up little space. It's worth noting that almost without exception, these users place the MS-60B in a loop. While there are a lot of sounds on offer here, none of them are as good as the sound you initially run into it. The amp models, mods, delays, envelopes, and reverbs will help you achieve a desired result, but are difficult enough to program you'll prefer to plan them for a pre-structured live set rather than try to create or tweak them on the fly in a session or at a rehearsal. The synths and distortion emulations will hurt your ears and make your pets or studio engineer sad. Digital effects can be great. This... well, it was an admirable effort.

Great value for money
useful multi-function gadget when you need extra sounds. Zoom had recently released a V2 Firmware update which allows users to add more patches!

The tuner function on this pedal is excellent. Responsive and detects my low B string

Too many potatoes not enough meat
I have a great preamp already and was hoping this would fill in the effect gaps, but sadly, it doesn't do the trick for me. The choruses were nice, but I could never dial in the octave or synth effects to anything usable for my own playing.

Really nice preamps
It has really nice preamps and eq's, the effects portion of this pedal are not-so-great so you won't find many chorus or flangers although the distortions, preamps and eq's are really great for live uses
