Extremely versatile modulation/delay/reverb pedal!

I snatched this pedal up on Black Friday, mostly for the reverb effects it has, especially the more unusual effects such as reverse reverb and shimmer reverb. This pedal has many different effects, countless combinations of effects, as well as the ability to save up to 50 presets! I've been having fun trying some of these out, both presets that are inbuilt into the pedal, as well as creating my own. I still haven't had time to try out all the functions the pedal offers, but will certainly get round to it!

As my main genres are psychedelic rock and shoegaze, this pedal is perfect for my sound, which focuses very much on delay and reverb effects. It also saves me ever having to buy another delay, reverb, modulation, or eq pedal, in fact I can sell a few of my older pedals and save space on my pedalboard (as well as saving myself some cash) with this one!

I haven't yet tried hooking it up to the computer and browsing any of the other effects that can be downloaded (most of which I believe are drive effects and amp sims), but will do, however for now there is no need to until I've tried out the various stock effects. Also I'm still curious about the stereo capability, which will certainly enhance the reverb and delay effects. Best 100 EUR ever spent on a pedal!

Best pedal in the world

I bought this gem one year ago for a ridiculous cheap price,i use it so much for my project and you can really dive in a lot of sounds and magic stuff with the effects on it. My songs need a lot of textures and this glorious machine works perfect for that,a great thing about it is that you will find here effects from expensive pedals like Strymon Big Sky or Eventide Space,amazing.

swiss knife mod/delay/reverb pedal

it's the last part of my fx loop, i only use it for reverb and just one fx at a time but it can stack a lot of things, in the order u want, there's a really nice pc editor that someone maid that its relly good, but dont use it live (it adds noise via usb cable and it has some delay) just use it to desing your presets. to sum up: -it has tuner or tap tempo -tons of fx (reverb and delay being the best par of it, some of them are a bit rubbish) -budget price -stereo in/out

Zoom have a reputation for being a bit tacky, but this is really quite good!

This is a surprisingly good-sounding digital multieffects unit offering a range of sounds; not just the 'chorus/reverb/delay' mentioned, but other things too, like pitch-shifting, filtered delays, vinyl crackle, tremolo and triggered machine-gun delays. Effects can be strung together - up to six in theory, but more like 2 or three in practice. Where possible the DSP boffins at Zoom have attempted to recreate and model pedals from other manufacturers, so there's attempts at the BOSS CE-1, the EHX Small Clone, and some of the wackier spatial effects available on the Eventide pedals.

My first impressions are that this is a very useful pedal to have around. Ok - let's be clear. It doesn't sound as good as the dedicated standalone effects boxes it's trying to replicate. But it's not so far off as to be unusable either, and some of the effects - like the amazing 'particle reverb', with its gorgeous swelling atmosphere - are worth the asking price alone. It's a very quiet pedal, and if you pair it up with some more expensive boutique effects (I've been feeding it into pedals by Earthquaker devices and Neunaber), it can help to expand your sound considerably.

A word of warning about the 'shimmer' effect; it's horrid and metallic! Look elsewhere for that.

On the plus side, some of the modulation effects are surprisingly warm for a digital effects box. There's also lots of control parameters within the individual effects; it's great for tweaking stuff.

Once again; don't buy this thinking it's a miracle box that can replace your Strymon Blue Sky. It can't compete with that. But with prices starting at just £75 in some places, this is astonishingly good value for money.

Great pedal!

This thing is like 50 FX pedals in one! It has a on of pre-made 'pedals' built in and you add them to a virtual pedalboard in an FX chain on this unit. You can even mute individual pedals on your patch or setup a master bypass. It's so customizable and you can easily get a nice shimmer reverb or tape delay. I don't use too much outboard FX gear but this is at the top of my list and I even use it with my DAW. I primarily run my Novation Bass Station through it and it makes that keyboard sound like keyboards 2-3x more expensive.

the only choice if you want relatively authentic sounding choruses, delays, reverbs all in one pedal on a budget!

it's the only choice if you want to have choruses, delays, reverbs and a few more digital simulations of some boutique pedals in ONE pedal. A/B'ing it with analog pedals showed me that this isnt actually half bad! In fact, it saves a lot of pedal space. But it does get a little bit getting used to as it does a lot of things for its small size. Go through the manual and you'll be set. I am a simple person though and I like every effect separately on separate pedals. It's a bit of a hassle to bend down during a concert, scroll to the effect to switch off. So I end up using it for long shimmery reverbs and crazy tremolo delays etc switching on and off with one tap.

A great and highly configurable pedal

The construction is good. You can install up to 50 presets from a computer and there is a great scene on the internet that constantly adds new ones. I only find one flaw and the cumbersome ByPass. For just over $ 90 it is an essential gear in your studio regardless of your musical genre or instrument.

best affordable multi fx at the moment.

with its custom firmware, this needs be everyone's go-to for first their pedal. regardless if you play keyboards, bass, or guitar. the ms70cdr is definitely a must have.

Good sound, very complex patches/

Everything nice, but dream about option to edit tempo without tapping/

From Gear Setup

Nice sound for the price

The sounds you can get with this stomp is really great. The effects are really awesome. The shimmer is not as good as the rest of the effects. Now I'm looking for a USB Host device so I'll be able to change programs with my midi controller, otherwise, changing presets in a show is really a pain.
