ZOOM MS-70CDR (chorus, delay, reverb)

Post by penelope tree »

This pedal looks pretty interesting. It includes models/ripoffs of Eventide, Line6, Hardwire and Strymon reverbs, amongst other things.

Oh man, that would be killer in the loop of a Superego...
It's sweet how the presets can run a whole bunch effects at once.

I think Zoom has turned a corner, I had a B3 and it seemed sturdy enough.
I just order this.

Well the effects weren't for me but I guess that's a personal thing, theyre actually pretty ok for digital multi stuff. Nothing great but a lot of them and I could see how an ambient/experimental guy might be into them. A fair bunch of the good effects use up more than one slot and you always have to use the line selector effect to so the using 6 effects at once presets a bit of false advertising. Not that I'd ever use six but i digress...
More than anything the interface and physical setup of the pedal was just real shoddy.
Having buttons around the footswitch seemed a bit of a bad idea to me. Theyre like kinda crappy push button digital ones too that alter the main functions of the pedal like they bank change and change from chorus to delay to reverb. So if you hit the switch too hard all the sudden you've changed presets cause you hit one of those switches too. And if you get a bit of dirt on your shoe (like i did) it gets into the buttons and they stop working and you have to return in...
I dunno yeah just a slight oversight design wise but a big one if youre playing it out not just in a studio

Hmmm fair points. Ill be using it for studio only so the dirty foot thing wont be an issue but thats something I didn't think about. If anything, for $120 I dont think ill be too disappointed.

u dont always have to use the line selector (its just a convient way to toggle the whole fx chain at once, and set wet/dry levels (pretty handy)). and i didnt see any fx that take up more than one slot? unless u are referring to the running out of processing power when u have lots of fx and use the few high processing hogger fx's
(haven't run into this myself, and i have run lots of 6 fx at once, all turned on.)

mine sits on a desk, but i could see how as a traditional pedal on the floor, could be kinda weird...i mean its got like a LCD screen on it that could break if u smashed it wrong. or the buttons like u said

other than that, i think its really handy to have a lot of different fx on tap that u can chain together in one box. a huge space saver for me at home and live use. not necessarily if u are looking for the best chorus/reverb/delay ever, but more if u want a lot of flavors or aren't as picky (like me).

however i REALLY like some of the choruses (corona and mirage), the filter delay is excellent, and a few of the reverbs i've tried i really like (LOFFIIIIIIIIIII)
but i've been running synths and gameboys thru it so your milage or expectations may vary on guitar/bass.

also i thought it was built pretty solid. aside from the screen which obv could get cracked. but for what i'm using it for, i think its solid.

i mean true stereo ins AND outs? battery powered? its like zoom read my diary.

Exactly my interest as well :thumb: Will likely attempt to try before I buy though.
