Zoom MS-70CDR Guitar Effects Pedal

Product Information

Especially today's budget analog synths tend to have very few, if any, effects built-in. For example,

Web patch editor ( updated) - this version supports pedals with custom firmware and has four color themes - source code The MS-70CDR's cutting-edge DSP microchip performs 32-bit floating-point calculations, giving it the ability to create sophisticated studio-quality effects such as the 25 rich, dense reverbs and realistic spatial simulations found here. These rooms, halls, arenas, plates, and springs allow you to add depth and spaciousness to your sound. Vintage emulations include the TC Electronic Hall of Fame and Nova, as well as the Digitech RV-7, the Eventide Space, the Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail, and the Strymon BlueSky. Dynamics Effects / Filters Then run the custom firmware .exe file on your PC. This will detect your pedal and allow you to write the firmware. Don't unplug your pedal while it's happening. You can see the process on your pedal's screen. DSP Power Consumption Chart - while this is for the N series, it shows the relative difference in processing power between effectsMS-70CDR: stereo in/out, USB connectivity, comes with huge range of modulation, delay, reverb effects (but no amp simulations or overdrive/fuzz/distortion effects. Can use 6 effects at once; comes with 86 effects. With custom firmware, you can add amp/overdrive effects from MS-50G, and some MS-60B effects as well. Works for guitar and bass. There are expensive boutique pedals like those from Strymon and Eventide, there are great mid-price MS-50B: Vice-versa with the 50B, this is a bass-based unit, with most guitar-based FX and amp sim modules missing. Mono in, stereo out.

If you only play guitar, or only play bass, you can remove these similar effects from the MS-70CDR that aren't for your instrument: While holding down the "up" and "down" buttons (above/below the chrome footswitch), connect the pedal to your PC via the USB cable. This will put it in "firmware update" mode. MS-100BT: (discontinued, but still available) makes both bass and guitar effects available in one pedal, all effects must be loaded via StompShare app, a bit time-consuming, (might take a few hours) but once their in, you’ll never have to do that again. The MS-70CDR is even a stereo processor, although you can use it with a mono signal. It runs eitherYou aren't sure you want to spend a lot on effects you may not enjoy that much over time; so you get the Zoom MS70-CDR because it has a lot to chose from and use [and the price tag is very... very... very reasonable]. You get one of these units and replace all your individual time-based pedals for this handy little box... because they sound quite good [and the single sized box takes less realestate on your pedalboard]. A parameter is like a knob or switch on a pedal. Each effect can have up to 9 parameters, which you can adjust to alter the sound of the effect. These settings are saved with your patch in the memory of the multistomp. Some of the effects are too similar to others. It would have been better to combine a few of them into-one and increase the parameter settings (to save scrolling through and exploring separate pedals) The MS-3 is technically a loop-switcher, aimed at being the core of a small rig. It's also a capable multi-effects unit in its own right though. Besides an intuitive interface and great core sounds, it benefits from Roland's excellent Librarian software for editing on a computer.

Whether you're a guitarist or a bass player, you can cut down the size of your pedalboard by adding an MS-70CDR. From a warm, vintage sound to a clear, modern tone, this one pedal can do it all. It offers 86 diverse options for shaping your sound. For ease of use, these are organized into the following categories: If you follow the links below and end up buying, we get a small commission which helps to keep this See also: updated firmware editor here, but you need Java Runtime Environment installed to run the .jar file. The Zoom MS-70CDR is a multi-effect pedal obviously meant primarily for guitarists, but did you know In this way, the MS-3 can be used either as the starting point to a small, flexible board, or the final pedal to round one off.

General

If you just get one pedal, get the MS-50G if you play guitar, or the MS-60B if you play bass. If you must have stereo inputs, or you don't want drive effects and you want tons of compressors, filters, modulations, delays, and reverbs instead, then get the MS-70CDR.
