Title: Small Footprint Multieffects
Post by: MrBump on December 26, 2014, 09:53:45 AM

Guys, I'm thinking about getting something like this:

http://www.zoom.co.jp/products/ms-50g (http://www.zoom.co.jp/products/ms-50g)

The rational is that (as my Boss chorus just broke) I need something small sized to sit on my board in the loop just doing the occasional bits of modulation that I rarely need.

I had a Zoom pedal decades ago, and it was brilliant - I can't imagine the quality has got worse over time.

I'm not precious about it being a modeler - that's fine by me for modulation, reverb, delay etc.  It's going to be in a loop with an EHX Memory Boy Deluxe, and the direct signal has some mighty fine analogue coolness.

Any other pedals out there I should be thinking about?

The Zoom is good. The distortions are mental (as they've always been in Zoom gear). The only other one worth looking at for similar money is the Korg Pandora Stomp (comes in funky orange  :tongue:)

I've got the Zoom MS-100bt which is great for what it is. Completely useable sounds out of it and can add new pedals to its catalogue through the Bluetooth link with phone/tablet.  I've got it alongside all my single pedals.

Cool - I've pulled the trigger on the MS-70, the one that's modulation only.  Looking forward to it!
