Zoom 505II Review

History:

Purchase: Like many people, I could not afford the sound of a two thousand dollar rack mountable processor. I had heard a friend of mine playing through the 505 and I was impressed, only hearing it for the first time. One week later I ordered one through Music Emporium back in 96. Recently I bought the 505 II and was more impressed than its prodecesor.

Pros: The 505 II has a wonderful warm clean tone sound. If you want more delay or reverb, it gives it to you. The distortion is great! I love the wide range of variety that can be chosen. I like the fact that the tuner is so accessable. Its attractive and portable. Built for quality! I like my equipment to allways look brand new. This unit can be cleaned with ease! Most of all and most important,anyone will get what the payed for. A wonderful, portable, affordable guitar effects processor.



Cons: There is only one fault with this unit. It is not in real time. When you get used to it, you will not notice!

505II Quality: The construction of this product is very impressive. It looks great, it is very durable, and can be cleaned very easily. There is no small gaps or pores for dirt to adhere to.

Zoom Summary: The bottom line is this unit surpasses all others. I recomend this product to any guitarist that cannot afford a rack mountable processor. This unit will earn every cent paid for it!
