ZoomMS-60B MultiStomp Bass Guitar Effects Pedal, Single Stompbox Size, 58 Built-in effects, Tuner

I am finding this to be a very good MultiFx Bass pedal, and I have had many. The reason I feel this one is better than so many is, it does not take up much room on the pedal board, and the fact that it can be controlled with a MIDI foot switch controller. Something the manual does not explain for some strange reason. I am using the M-VAVE Chocolate Foot Switch and M-VAVE MIDI MS1 both available on Amazon. There are many YouTube videos that will show you how to set it up for MIID control. There is also a free Zoom MS Utility manager for programing this pedal quickly and easily as well as saving the presets.Lots of great factory sounds, plus many slots to save your own. I found the compressors to be very good, and some are better than my EBS MultiComp. I must say I really had my doubts about a $116.99 bass multiFX pedal, but after reading the Amazon reviews I figured it would be worth giving it a go, I am glad it did.Happily in the LOW-END.

Keeping in mind it’s under 15k, this has quite some good tones. Individual effects pedals would cost around 15-20k each plus space.Pros: synth, pitch shifter, chorus, envelope filterCons: distortion, amp simsPlus, not exactly a con, but the switches to move between effects is very small and often very difficult to press by feet. That could have been worked on.But none the less under 15k this is a ton of fun.

Compacto, resistente por ser metálico y con un arsenal de todos los efectos que puedan existir y completamente configurable. Excelente sonido. Una joya de procesador que además incluso puede funcionar con pilas.

I've been playing a bunch of instruments, home recording, MIDIfying, and just generally nerding out for the better part of 30 years. The MS-60B is a great buy and one of the best values for utility-- and fun-- that I've seen in the world of gear in a long time.Historically, there are very few low-end multieffects that let you choose any effect you want in any order. Heck, there aren't even that many old pro rack units that let you choose your effect routing or allow you to "stack" multiple instances of the same type of effect... or even *the* same effect. Piece of cake on the MS-60B. Zoom should be lauded extensively for that alone. Want a chain of four distortion pedals... or a chain of four of *the same* distortion pedals? Don't ask why, try it! The 60B will do it happily, and then you can deal with the "why did I do that?" later.I also find there aren't many low-end digital multieffects units that I can stand having directly in my pedal path. The MS-60B actually sounds just fine. I have (and have had) so many digital units that cost four times as much that instantly suck the tone right out of an analog signal path. The 60B isn't true bypass, but somehow it doesn't seem to matter. I can barely tell a difference with it in or out of the path. Yes, I can tell a little difference, but not anywhere enough to kill my buzz - not so AT ALL with any other such product I've thrown between my bass / guitar / analog OD pedal and the amp.By the way, I'm using this with both bass and guitar right now in a bunch of bands, and I find it equally useful in both applications; even though you won't find many things oriented specifically to guitar (particularly in the amp sim dep't), there are a great deal of globally useful, "register-agnostic" effects to be found here.How are the effects? Pretty darned good, for the most part. The amp sims in most boxes like this are terrible. While I won't use them all the time, as I believe in just having a good sounding amp to begin with, the 60B's models sound remarkably good not just as a line-in sim tool but actually straight into the front of a proper amp, and they've even allowed me to "salvage" a terrible-sounding practice amp for the purposes of rehearsal.Reverbs sound very nice for a unit this cheap, so do the compressors (the 160 model is my main choice), and the noise reduction algo works well / is very handy to have. I mainly bought this for the bass-synth capabilities, and I find it pretty good there too, if a bit limited... keeping in mind I'm also a lifelong synth nerd. I hear favorable things about this unit compared to the Markbass standalone synth pedal at 3x its price, and while I've not used the MB pedal, I can believe it.The main effect that could use improvement is the chorus. There's only really one chorus effect algo on the MS-60B and it's not terribly rich-sounding nor sonically flexible. Zoom has developed a dozen or more distinct chorus models for other pedals in the Multi-Stomp line, and it would be nice to see them ship the MS-60B with one or two more of those.My other main effect-quality complaint is that the overdrive / dirt pedals are way too over-the-top in terms of gain. They sound good, but the gain can be dialed almost all the way back on so-called "overdrive" algos and it's still nowhere near clean as it would be on, say, a Tubescreamer. I cannot get a just-breaking-up / just-gritty-enough tone out of any of those pedal models, although I can kind of get there with some of the amp and preamp sims.Overall, I found the pedal pretty easy to master with about an hour's use and with manual in hand. The hardest part is remembering the precise order of the "catalog" of effects - you can save some time if you can remember, say, where your favorite envelope filter is located in the list.One really nice if simple / obvious feature is the always-on autosave. Kind of rare on this kinda stuff. I thought I'd hate this enabled-by-default feature, being a control freak and also not wanting to wreak havoc on preexisting patches, but it's actually been very useful - just pick an empty patch before rehearsal starts, load it up with whatever you want, and once you have an effect / effect chain set up the way you want it, there's no complicated storage routine. just go on playing. It will be there for you just as you left it next rehearsal. Or you can just globally turn this option off and save patches only on explicit user request.I'd definitely like to see the effects take some kind of parameter modulation and allow a bit more deep tweaking in general... but then again, I have this complaint about just about every effect unit I've ever used. Again, the degree of effect configurability is (usually) exceedingly good for the price point, vs. its longstanding market-sector competitors, if we're being reasonable. You stand a very good chance of getting what you want out of this.The biggest annoyance is having to program a "patch rotation" or manually "cursoring" through one pedal-toggleable effect at a time. This complaint is fairly universal on the forums right now, and-- if you're anything like I was before purchase-- probably won't quite make sense until you actually use it live. You can use it like a regular stomp box, that's very cool... but if you have a song that requires you to switch multiple effects on and off, you'll need to do some preconfiguring.The big brother, the B3, sort of solves this problem with its separate toggle switches for each effect-- but for whatever reason, it can only do three simultaneous effects *as of this writing* versus the 60B's four, and that's a dealbreaker for me (if you're using a basic "utility / tone chain" of noise reduction, compression and an amp sim... you're done). I'll probably buy a B3 if/when Zoom enables it to do six effects at once, as they have done with the G3. But I'll definitely keep the 60B when I do so.One last thing: Zoom, you've given this thing the gift of a USB port (but right now it's only for firmware upgrades or providing DC power) - why not ANY kind of PC-based patch editing and/or downloadable additional models? I'd actually pay to enhance this thing's capabilities and add a few more effects options.A lot of Talkbass users have said this pedal would be worth the buy for the (VERY good) stage tuner and compressors alone. They're right, but the 60B can do so much more, and-- more importantly-- it can do it all while sounding surprisingly good. Frankly, I think it sounds way nicer than my pal's much pricier Bass Pod XT Live, and it's way easier to get a usable sound out of, too. But at minimum, I'd say anyone looking at the sub-$100 segment of bass effects should just skip everything else and go straight for this.

Got for best price and a compulsory box for bassists. Sturdy and Easy to use
