Six years later, I decided to try out a Zoia. When it came out, I thought I would probably struggle with the pushbutton interface and the tiny screen, so I got a Beebo instead, to scratch that modular itch. Beebo has been very useful for me, but mostly as a kind of utility tool--my default Beebo patch doesn't process guitar at all, it just has a drum machine, MIDI controls for other pedals, and a stereo insert so I can connect a CD player or radio or what have you.

A week into my Zoia journey, I've sifted through all 1500 patches on Patchstorage, looking to see what's possible and what's already been done. Kind of exhausting, but ultimately worth it. Yes, I'm struggling with the interface, but it sounds like everybody does when they're trying to understand a patch made by somebody else. I have gingerly poked around in the Patch Librarian software, and I have some faith that someday I'll understand what's going on. The main issue I've encountered early on is that a lot of patches are mono, and I'd prefer to have my Zoia in the stereo part of my chain. I'm figuring it out, but on Beebo it's a much simpler process.

Even if I end up just using it as a multieffect curated by other people because I'm too dunderpated to create my own patches, I think it'll be worth it. It's already helped me resist the siren call of the b-stock Lost & Found.

Yeah, stereo-fying patches is a mild annoyance, but not too tough once you know what you're looking for. From experience I will be say make sure to back up any patches you update to a separate folder on the SD before you add other patches, as it's easy to overwrite them.

Otherwise, have fun! I dearly love my Zoia. I wish I had a second one.

i had the mightyMicro delay a few years ago, but someone wanted it in a package trade for his Digitech XP300....was great, like an improvement over the old MD2/3, cute enclosure but very heavy duty! amazingly theres a battery compartment in there too.

this one should be cool, seems like a Exciter circuit w a nice input attenuator
