"My wife seems to think I'm doing something (different) better than the other Bassist.......Thanks Zoom."

Feature:
Include a power supply! OR Change the Battery to a Lithium 9vdc. Love the tuner.

Quality:
Keep fresh Batteries in it and your ther.

Value:
$69.95 is a great price.

Desirability:
Practical.

Sound:
I have to go direct to the board when we use in-ear monitors. I get every sound I need out of the Zoom 506II and a pre-amp. My gig bag is an old PC laptop soft tote!

Support:
no clue.......no need.

Overall:
I'm trying to wear it out just as fast as I can..........the 506II appears to be coffee proof/water proof and resistant to Ropers or Nikes stumbling around on it.

"worth every penny."

I have had it now for about 2 weeks, and now that I've played around with it it's a lot of fun. There are so many effects that you can use, although there are a few that are just too strange that they don't work with most music, but they do show you what is possible. As long as you don't use it for EVERY song it sounds really cool. Its well enough made for its cost, though it would be better if it were metal. I don't think I could get anything better for my money. So I'd say buy it!
