Product Description

This is Zoom's all-new, top-of-the-line guitar box, with a metal case for onstage use and abuse. Besides the VAMS (Zoom's Variable Architecture Modeling System) amp and preamp emulations, there are 69 effect types - use up to 9 at once! The "Easy Edit" knobs and MIDI implementation make live and studio use a breeze. There are 160 built-in Zoom patches and 80 user programmable patches.

This is a Zoom product, so you know there are still more features. How about a 25 second phrase sampler? The sampler also has a mode called "Jam Play," which lets you record 12 seconds of audio and play it back at a slower speed - without changing the pitch! Cool!

When you factor in the built-in expression pedal and the large LED display, you have a formidable tool for making some awesome guitar sounds. This box is for all guitarists looking for a multi-effects pedal.
