poll: Zoom 505II sound unit
Posted: Sat Mar 27, 2010 5:06 pmpoll for the Zoom 505II
I guess it boils down to what you compare it to...
in it's class: a $70 fx unit... very little compares IMO.
compared to a floor pod, it probably doesn't stand up
compared to analogue choruss, flangers, reverb -well, maybe it's not fair to compare it to those things.
I have the 506 II for bass... I bought it a while back and it has some neat synth sounds. I'm surprised at how well it has held up but I'm not exactly gigging with it. Really a lot of great stuff in there.
my complaints: you can exceed it's headroom very easily with active electronics, some of the effects are pretty weak, plastic jacks and stomps aren't exactly rugged.
