Zoom Review: 606 Guitar Multi FX Processor

History:

Purchase: I live in South Africa, out exchange rate is terrible, right now its $11 for R1 *waits 10 seconds* its notw $11.50 for R1 :) ok, I got this at a music store Musicfestsa (www.musicfestsa.co.za) for about R1650, roughly 165 Dollars.

What I Like About This Zoom 606 Guitar Multi FX Processor: I actually love this baby! most reviewers complained that they would never use this system at a gig, I beg to differ, I dont take my guitar anywhere without taking the 606! It,s light-wieght, durable, improves the sound of any amplifier (makes my Squier Champ 15 sound like a Marshall 30 watt)comes with around 36 pre-made effects and allows you to make/edit your own. has 12 different amp simulations, makes a tiny amp sound like a cabinet amp! PLUS its a pre-amp, meaning you can practise anywhere as long as you have some earphones without having to jack-in wires and plugs, plus its battery operated! it also comes with a nice expression pedal, it also has guitar simulation, I can make my Silvertone sound like a Fender.

What I Do NOT Like About The Zoom 606 Guitar Multi FX Processor: only two things I dont like about it. 1. its got a steep learning curve, but the manual explains every little trick if you sit down and read it, also it has a complete listing of the FX on the back of the manual. 2. the switching of FX seems abrupt unless you switch at the exact time you need to.

Zoom 606 Guitar Multi FX Processor Quality Rating: I love the quality of this! its light-wieght plus I've dropped it a few times and not so much of a SCRATCH A SCRATCH I TELLS YAH!

Review Summary: you have to get this pedal, even if you dont play a guitar GET IT AND DO IT NOW.

Rating of this Zoom product: 5
