Zoom GFX707 Reviews5 Found On 2001-12-01, Booney gave this Zoom Guitar Effects a 4...(919)
Purchase: Bought it from O'Sheas Music, Dalby, Queensland, Australia. I saw the Zoom Rep Demo it and was impressed with the quality and functions for the reasonably low price of AU$300.
Pros: I think the Zoom GFX707 is an ideal entry level unit to multi effects units. It has a good range of sounds and can be easily programmed. It also has built in functions such as a tuner, drum machine/ metronome as well as a 6 second phrase sampler to work out those hard riffs.
Cons: Although the casing is well constructed and quite tough the input and output jacks are abit flimsy. The array of sounds, whilst ideal for the beginner or garage band, would be limiting possibly even unsuitable for professional artists.
Quality: The casing is very sturdy. It can take my weight and I weigh about 150kg. As i said The in/out put jacks are abit flimsy and I have known several people who have had to have theirs replaced under warranty. If you take care though they hold up. Summary: Overall, this is a very neat unit aimed successfully at the beginner to intermediate player. I enjoy owning mine and I am confident they can provide hours of fun and help to take you to the next level in your playing.

Purchase: I purchased the multieffects pedal at a store in Orlando,FL, called Discount Music. It was really cheap: 140 USD. I had already tracked it by the internet and then I visited the city on vacation, so I bought it. I chose this pedal because I thought it would be suitable for a begginer like me and it won´t get useless too soon. I was right !!
Pros: Like I said, it is great as your first experience with effects processors, and even if you are an intermediate player. Of course, if you´re Yngwe Malmsteen you´ll probably get bored. The key fact here is PRACTICE. This unit is not designed for stage jams. You could do it but the life of your pedal will reduce. Also, the features were specially thought for playing with your CD player, with yourself and with simple rhythm patterns. So, never had an effects pedal before so I liked it a lot.
Cons: Well, I would have liked the case to be more strong, but I guess that would have made it heavier, too.
Also, the sampler is too short. I never use it but some day I will experiment with it and I realize now that I won´t be able to arrange some good riffs to play along with.
Quality: The construction is good enough for your home practice sessions and the quality of the sound doesn´t disappoint you. I have never had a problem with the unit, but I strongly recommend to find something to cover it: The dust can affect its display and buttons.
Summary: I really think this is an excellent product from Zoom, regarding its price. Consider this option if you have been looking for some good processor FOR YOURSELF, at a very low price.

Purchase: I had already owned the zoom 505, but I was looking for an accent pedal when ZOOM came out with the 707. I traded in my 505 and paid another $100.00 CDN
Pros: This unit is GREAT for me. I can program sounds for any of the types of music I like to play. The amp selector works great for tweeking those sounds.Its fairly easy to program.The drum machine is a great bonus.
Cons: The AC adapter is crap. The cord is too short.It creates some annoying noises.Don't buy the one supplied, go to RADIO SHACK, they can set you up.
Quality: For the price this baby is well made.I don't recomend it for your next OZZY tour but for your average garage band or bedroom rocker this unit can't be beat. Summary: I really like it. The GFX 707 is a compact unit that delivers. For the price of one pedal it gives you a hundred. Zoom you've done good.

Purchase: i brought this from allegro music chelmsford. i was in need of a pedal and this was in my budget. i paid £99.
Pros: this is very optional. there are so many different effects and features your guitar playing will change. distortion is brilliant the wah is brilliant basically the whole pedal is fantastic
Cons: the one thing i dislike is when changing from sounds. you have to program the pedal so you can access the sounds needed without any unwanted sounds. the problem is it is small they cannot fit a bank selector on which you can acess with your foot and you can only change sounds by going up and down.
Quality: the construction and quality is brilliant very strong and fashionable.
Summary: very good but dissapointing when changing effects.
