With the CD-R/RW drive, pre-recorded drum beats and samples phrases can be imported. Up to 100 samples can be stored per project, and by cutting and pasting, loops can be created and dropped in and out or songs quickly and easily.
The 1266 has literally hundreds of customizable digital effects for mics and instruments, as well as Zoom's VAMS (Variable Architecture Modeling System) guitar amp modeling.
The 1266 has adjustable EQ and pan controls for each channel, as well as a complete array of adjustable 24-bit mastering effects such as Reverb, Chorus, Modulation, Delay, and Compression.

"Wow, this unit ROCKS!"
Bought this from this site in February '03. I can't believe all the effects (vocals, guitar, bass, master, etc) and the quality of this machine. Very user-friendly, and my recordings sound excellent.
I did a lot of research on similarly priced offerings from other manufactures (Korg, Roland, Boss, Yamaha, Fostex) and decided this would be the best bet. Not a single regret. Can't beat the price to total package ratio.
The 6 track simultaneous record function opens lots of possiblities, the drum machine is sample-quality, not to mention the massive library of 400+ patters--all with which you can switch out drum sets. The editing functions work great, and my first CD sounds studio quality. I LOVE THIS MACHINE!

"Mine went to the shop"
Feature:
The ONLY machine with more than two simultaneous inputs in this price range. It has 6. The whole band can plug into separate channnels and play live. Go back later to clean up parts. There are on-board effects for everyone and they're quite effective. I particularly like the vocal effects. You'd need a ton of money to acheive the same product with separate components. You don't even need a bass player anymore, much to my bass players chagrin. The rhythm section is extensive and authentic. The hard driver holds like eight hours of eight tracks before it runs out of space. You can archive on cd and tre-load them later.
Quality:
It's built pretty rugged. I take mine to rehersals and it stands up. The sliders work smoothly, the screen is easy to see. I bought a re-furb. (hey, it wuz a hundred bucks cheaper!) and , of course, had a problem. See below
Value:
You won't beat the price on a 6 simultaneous input with these stellar effects, ever probably.
Desirability:
The 'all-in-one' ease of producing, especially for guitar player/singers, is too irresistable. Girlfriend's birthday? forgot? write & burn a song just for her....priceless.
Sound:
Excellent sound quality. I haven't used everything out there so how could i give a 10, but the presence and auto-mastering algorithms allow anyone to produce a demo quality cd with little experience.
Support:
After about 4 mos I had a problem with the hard drive and had to send it in. And, it was 'in the shop' for about eight weeks. The service dept. was empathetic. There's like 1 Zoom tech in the entire western universe. Even so, he cold soddered a hot wire or whatever and it has worked better than new since. Hey! i saved A $100!
Overall:
I don't want to have to know a lot, or go through a lot fo set up to lay down an incessant melody. If the rest of the band doesn't buy into it (the latest melody) i can go it alone (on-board rhythm/bass). I've only scratched the surface of its features...if i didn't own it, i'd buy it. Even though mine went to the shop.
