"A tasty guitar sandwich"
Feature:the distortions are plentiful, though not very adjustable. However they seem to be represented in a range where one or two will address the blenderization level you need. Its tone controls, Chorus, delays, reverbs, and most of its other effects will take your sound to where you think you want to be. whatever shortcomings it has, are quite minor in contrast to what it offers. From sweet and clean, to mind melt, the sound is in there. Also of worthy note is the fact that it will work with headphones and even cheap PC speakers, making these guitar sandwiches an absolute Godsend to any parent giving the gift of music
Quality:
I dont know how this would hold up in a warzone, nor if it could serve as a race car suspension component, but I have dropped it a few times already without trouble. These will likely be with you for a very long time
Value:
Download the manual from Zoom, then price any one separate stomp box addressed in the mod/sfx section. You will find that for less than the price of a delay, chorus, or flanger, this offerers you that and worlds more
Desirability:
if stolen, incinerated, blown up, shot, or otherwise having its intended functionality halted, I would give it a proper burial with ceremonial honors prior to immediately replacing it with an equal or greater model.
Sound:
the sound quality of this guitar sandwich is absolutely impeccable. it remains stone dead silent until you and your guitar say otherwise. Then, with your permission, it speaks in a thunderous, yet crystal clear voice that is sure to please
Ease of Use:
once you place your order for this ... drop by the zoom website and download the PDF manual for a quick read before it gets there. There is a simple logic to its controls that with some pre reading, will make its use a snap right out of the box. On fact ... download the manuals for a few of their different models to help you decide
Overall:
I expect to be plugging into this guitar sandwich for many years to come

"Hands Down the best MFX floor unit ever made!"
Feature:I never have given anything a "10" so why start? Comes with the AC adapter and guess what? No AC hum! The editing is much deeper now than in past Zoom pedals like the 505, 505II, and the 606 all of which I own.I do wish the switch buttons were closer together so that "bypass" and "tuner" modes were easier to initialize. I have wide feet and I still have to make sure that I hit both switches just right to enable bypass.
Quality:
Excellent quality!! The prior $99.00 floor units Zoom made were plastic and I've had to re-solder the input/output jacks on the 505 and 505II I have 3 times in 2 years. This unit however is rock solid! Metal encased with rubber! The jury is still out on how the jacks hold up but they are not cheap plastic so I see them being fine.
Value:
There it is!! a "10" Bang for the buck wise this is like highway robbery! The sound quality and build of this thing blows away units costing 3X as much!
Desirability:
Pretty unit.
Sound:
Been playing for 15 years. I've owned it for over a month now and wanted to wait and see how it performed before I made a review. Well the results are in and I give this thing A++. I am a working musician that plays mostly Rock ranging from The Kinks to Soundgarden I use it with a newer Bandit Combo plugged into a GK 2X12 cab and I wouldn't trade this rig for any Marshall or Boogie for that matter. Once it is dialed in to you theres tones you could never get with any ONE amp. I go from Stones to Stone Temple pilots in 2 clicks. Try to do that with a boutique or Marshall amp! LOVE IT!
Support:
Haven't ever had to deal with them as I can repair pretty much anything that goes wrong myself.
Overall:
I see years of satisfaction from this thing. I am always searching for new and better tones but I think I hit the motherlode!
