The Mama of guitar multi effects!!!

Advantages: fun to use, really nice sounds
Disadvantages: so many things... can be confusing sometimes...

...to upgrade it to a Zoom GFX-5. I kept the Zoom GFX5 for about 6 months, and then upgraded to the G9. I just fell in love with the unit. First, (I know it is lame) it looks really cool. Then I read many reviews about it on various websites, and the specs looked really good, and also it sounded like it was really easy to get a nice sound. With my years of struggle to get a sound I like, I felt really attracted to this unit. They also upgraded the ...
...supply (that is new for Zoom to do that) - Programs: You also get the program Cubase LE, but surprisingly no USB cable. - Manuals, and quick guide (with details of the amp simulations) THE SOUND ******************* Well. That is where it shines. This unit is HIGHLY tweakable. You can change almost everything. Every effect is tweakable to the extreme. So you can get the sound you are looking for with a bit of work. The amplifier simulations ...

Small, but brilliant Zoom B1X Bass Guitar Multi FX Pedal

Advantages: Small size, great range of sounds, price, well built
Disadvantages: Lack of included AC adapter, expression pedal isn't the best

...Bass, I came across the Zoom B1X Multi FX Pedal, and though "this could be it." The main thing that stood out to me was the small size, and the fact that it would replace four items (tuner, another Multi FX, Chorus, and volume pedal) into just one, fairly small pedal. I paid £55 for mine, buying it on eBay, so it is really affordable. Since buying it, I have used it on a number of gigs and in my practice rig at home, and so have got a fair bit of ...
... Conclusion Over all, I think that the Zoom B1X is a great choice for any new bas guitarist, providing a great range of features for a small price, but a more intermediate player would probably want something a bit more substantial, like the Zoom B2.1U. ...

Guitarport, be an easy bedroom rockstar

Advantages: Price, PC Recording, Many Tones, Intuitive Software.
Disadvantages: Can't use it on stage! (Well, not easily)

...more mic-ing damn amps and hearing your brother talking in the background of the best damn solo you've ever recorded. The bottom line is, if you want to sound like your guitar heroes, without splashing out on the £2000 amp and the £200 pedals, you can, in your bedroom. ...

The Boss ME-30 : Worth every Cent

Advantages: Great sounds, flexibility and ease of use
Disadvantages: Limited number of presets per bank, LCD display hard to read on dark stages

...RM1 250 back in 1999. Boss doesn not manufacture this anymore, so get your hands on one as soon as one is available. Of course, the built-in volume/wah/pitch bend pedal is not as responsive as those on dedicated units; but it gets the job done. The effects, such as chorus, delay, reverb, overdrive and distortion are definitely BOSS, and the sounds are comparable with that of dedicated BOSS stand-alone stomp boxes. There is a slight learning curve ...
...cent; all it needs is a little patience and the willingness to experiment; in order to discover its true capabilities. The pitch shifter is not intelligent; but does the job fairly well. All said and done, this offering from BOSS is a must-have for the guitar player on a budget. ...

Good fun to use

Advantages: Alot of different Patches, Very adjustable
Disadvantages: Weak Connections

I have had the Zoom GFX-707 now for many a moon, and it was a great buy at the time, as it went up in price due to demand just after i bought it. However the tide has gone, and the market has changed. The 707 is no longer the best product on the market, nor is it best value for money. It does have a multitude of effects, and is good fun, and given alot of tweaking, gives great sound. But the interface is complicated, and the gain between patches ...
...cheap (there is a new Zoom on the market now made with a total metal exterior). The connections inside are soldered straight to the circuit board, this means that during rigorus usage, it will break. Same problem with alot of people who own the 707, the connections break, and you end up with the signal cutting in and out. Not the most fun you will ever have while playing live. In conclusion, it is a very nice piece of equipement, but is out dated ...
