"zooomin' bargain!"

Feature:
lots to fiddle about with to create your own sound or just to play along with some songs which use effects

Quality:
perfect size...and a tough little thing...can handle quite a bit of abuse!

Value:
great value, you get so much in this little thing

Desirability:
admitedly it's not the best lookin pedal but hey.. you don't buy one to stare at it do ya?? you stamp the hell out of it!

Sound:
some effects like phaser or flanger are not particularly strong but when you consider there are about 170 odd effects on there...2 that arent the best isnt too bad! many great distortion and clean sounds...fun to play about with funk and wah effects too!

Ease of Use:
easy to use..however there are some 'hidden' effects that are a little difficult to find, you really have to read the instructions!

Overall:
a great peice of kit. you will not be dissapointed

"Does it's job pretty well"

Feature:
this thing has just about everything that you could want for a pedal at this price. it does a lot of extra things besides just effects, not exceptionaly, but what more do you want from an effects pedal this price? the noice reduction is a very nice feature as well.

Value:
i think that this pedal is priced very well for the features that you get out of it. however just keep in mind that it does a lot of things pretty good, but doesn't do anything outstanding.

Sound:
there are areas where improvments could be made as far as the sound goes, but for the most this pedal sounds pretty nice. I provides the user with a wide range of effects, like blues to metal. My only complaint is that it can sound very cold and digital at times.

Ease of Use:
if you know even a little bit as to what your doing i think that you will find it fairly easy to get the sounds you want out of this thing. getting the sounds you want only becomes easier the longer you use this pedal.

Overall:
overall a nice pedal. great for someone whose just starting to need a variety of effects, or someone who doesn't want to buy 900 individual pedals. for the price, i don't think you can beat it. don't worry about those people complaining about how the drum machine isn't very realistic sounding, or the sampler is too short. they were expecting too much from one gizzmo.

"ZOOM HOTTER THAN PARIS HILTON"

Quality:
I'VE HAD MY ZOOM SINCE 1999.JUST NOW THE INPUT JACK IS MESSING UP I WILL REPLACE WITH ZOOM.THE FAT HEAVY SOUND THAT I GET IS LIKE THAT OF EXPENSIVE TUBE.BEST OF ALL U DONT NEED A AMP 2 PLAY JUST PLUG IN HEADPHONES AND YOUR ON.KILLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Support:
NEVER HAD ANY AND FOR THE PRICE OF ABOUT 158.00 NEW I GOT MY MONEY'S WORTH

"Good value for money."

Feature:
Full of features and after having owned it for about a year and a half i am still finding new stuff you can do with it.

Quality:
Overall good quality, although for such a pedal with over 70 effect types i thibk having metal casing wouldn't hurt! But the plastic it's made out of is quite strong cos even after quite a bad fall all it has is a little dent .....so overall; not bad.

Value:
For what you get it is extreemely good value, especially if u have a tight budget like me.

Desirability:
It look ok....nothing special.

Sound:
Most effects sound good, although you still need a good amp to get the maximum out of this multi-effects processor.

Overall:
It's very good overall. You will definately get your money's worth.

"An experienced and detailed review from a long-time zoom user."

Feature:
I've read a lot of reviews comparing this to digitech rp50's and rp100's, etc. This is not an accurate comparison. Those low-end digitechs do not have the same tweaking capability or features as the 707II. For instance, the digitechs force you to use a single adjustment for both the speed and intensity of the modulations like phaser and flanger. That means if you want a strong but slow phase you are out of luck with the Digitech. The zoom gives you much better control over your effects, and the effects are much more usable IMHO. The phase is excellent, and one of my favorties. The Zoom has 30 amp models, the digitechs have around 12. The digitech models are the typical same-old-stuff like AC30, Rectifier... The Zoom has these but also has some unique and excellent models such as the Boss Metal Zone pedal, the 808 Tube Screamer, and one I have never seen modeled before: The ADA MP-1 preamp! Break out your spandex and moccasin boots guys, because it sounds great for those eighties hair-metal sounds (which I like). The reverbs and delays may be a little limited compared to the digitech, but they are excellent sounding none the less. I'm knocking a point off because it doesn't come with the power supply, although it is the standard 9 volt stomp-box style connector.

Quality:
It's plastic, but so are my 10 year old zoom units and they all still work properly. The only repairs I have ever made to my zooms are busted solder joints, which are easy fixes.

Value:
If you spend more than a couple hours at a guitar store with this and other processors, you'll see why I rave about these. Absolutely the best heavy distortion in an effects pedal!

Desirability:
It may not be as pretty as the digitechs, but who cares about looks on a stomp box?

Sound:
I currently use this with either an Ibanez RG470 or a Carvin Bolt with Hot Rails into the 707II and out to a 1965 Blackface Pro Reverb on the right and a Mesa F30 on the left. I have thiele-ported 1X12 extension cabs on both amps. Late at night I use headphones for practice. I originally bought this because I own a Zoom ps-02 portable studio and I like the distortion models so much I wanted a floor unit that sounded the same. The 707II does that and more.

Support:
Samson is the US distributor of Zoom, and they are excellent in the customer support department. I called 1-800-3samson and they sent me a manual for one of my old zooms free of charge!

Overall:
I own several zooms and they are all excellent products. Background noise is slightly higher tan average on all of them, but its easily dialed out and the ZNR noise reduction is better than any other I've heard, so it's not really an issue. I've bought and sold tons of processors over the years, and the zooms are the only ones I keep!
