Is that the one with the >4 second delay. You're thinking of the Zoom 508, I believe; Musician's Friend hasn't listed it in their print catalog. The 505 is the Multi-FX, which is what they're offering. It's an absolutely abysmal unit for anyone who has passed beyond "I am METAL GOD" in their parent's home. Delay maxes out at 350 ms, you don't have real control over presets, it chops output signal substantially and does nasty things to tone, and quite frankly, the included effects save the reverb leave a lot to be desired even for the price. The big killer is the fact that you're stuck with "variations on Zoom themes", which means you can't tweak delay feedback or chorus settings or anything that you're likely used to at all. I suppose one is better than nothing, but when you can track down old Boss ME-6 and ME-8s for less than $150, why buy something that doesn't let you really tweak or sound great? == the Reverend Rob ICQ: 1280871 Yahoo: theReverendRob http://www.realm-of-shade.com .`. .`. .`. .`. http://www.qblh.com ================================================================= "I prefer not to kill people, but I'd like to destroy as much property as possible." - Grace Slick, from the Airplane FBI file ================================================================= http://www.realm-of-shade.com/music : feedback and echo MP3s
