Zoom MS-60B MultiStomp Bass Pedal

Zoom's MS-60B MultiStomp bass pedal packs 58 effects and models into a convenient stompbox, complete with a clean and versatile digital interface.

Zoom's MS-60B MultiStomp Bass Pedal is the first of its kind. It offers the power of a multi-effects pedal and flexibility of an amp modeler in a single stompbox design. With 58 classic stompbox effects and amp models, an easy-to-use interface, auto-chromatic tuner and versatile power options, bass players will be astonished with how much this pedal offers.

With a heavy duty, die-cast body, the MS-60B has the classic look of a single analog stompbox. It features a large LCD and analog-style cursor keys/parameter knobs that together form an easy-to-use graphical interface. This intuitive design makes creating, saving and rearranging the effect chain a breeze and provides easy navigation in live and studio settings.

A sigmoid curve clipper re-creates the smooth clipping of a tube amp's waveform. This allows the MS-60B to simulate amplifier sounds, including clean, crunch and full-gain drive tones that are authentic to the original models while maintaining the nuances of fingering and picking techniques.The MS-60B's six super-real amp models range from vintage gear to the current trends in amp technology. In addition, you can pair any of the available amp models with any of the available stompbox effects and let you're creativity run wild.

The ZFX-IV DSP effects processor boasts amazing power and clarity, upgrading everything from sound to functionality and operability over previous ZFX versions. By using 32-bit floating-point processing, the MS-60B can produce sounds that are read more more realistic than ever before.The MS-60B offers 52 diverse types of effects, including some of the world's most popular stompbox bass pedals and rack-mounted processors. The pedal's wide range of effects includes distortion, compression, modulation, delay and reverb.

With the MS-60B, you can use up to four stompbox and amp effects simultaneously and arrange them in any order you like. This allows you the freedom to build complex tones, as well as the ability to bring individual elements in and out of the effects chain as you like.Right out-of-the-box, the MS-60B allows you to create and store up to 50 of your original patches. To get you started, 30 of these patches are preprogrammed and form a versatile collection of bass sounds. These presets include some of the most popular stompbox and amp effects, as well as patches personally designed by some of the world's top bassists.

With the MS-60B, you can program which patches are recalled and the order in which they appear. For example, you could select three patches--(A) ROCK BASS, (B) FUNKY SLAP and (C) SYNTH BASS--and program the MS-60B to cycle through only those three tones each time you press the footswitch. You can program the recall order of up to 26 patches (A-Z).

Perfect for use in combination with traditional stompboxes, the MS-60B can be added to your pedalboard to decrease the size and complexity of your setup, while expanding your system's effects and modeling capabilities.The pedal's auto-chromatic tuner offers smooth, real-time response with precise bass tuning and accuracy. Whether you're in the middle of a performance or practicing alone, simply hold down the pedal's footswitch to start getting your strings back in tune. In addition, the MS-60B's LCD makes the tuner easy to see on a dark stage. You can also tune silently in the tuner's MUTE mode or with all effects bypassed in its BYPASS mode.The MS-60B can operate on three different power sources: AC adapter (sold separately), batteries or USB bus power when plugged into your computer. Two AA alkaline batteries (not included) provide seven hours of continuous use.

Firmware updates for the MS-60B can also be performed when plugged into your computer via USB.

I never thought I would be interested in effects for bass, but I had some money to burn, and ordered this. I've only had it a few days, but I think it's worth the money I spent. I set up an effect similar to an octaver, but an octave higher, rather than the usual octave lower. I can hear the effect even on the lowest E. An octaver doesn't sound so good on the lowest notes, being an octave lower, can't really hear the effect that low, but this effect I set up is great! There's also an actual octaver if you like that, sounds nice on higher pitches. I also like the hall reverb effect, and the delay effect. When I run my fingernail up and down the strings, it makes sound crazy sounds, but my cat doesn't like it so much. The Reggae patch it comes with removes almost all but the low bass tones, and by using it in a custom patch with the bass reduced some, and a few other tweeks, it gives a sound somewhat similar to a bass with flatwound strings, for playing older music like The Beatles. The growly roundwounds don't seem to fit that kind of music, so this helps a lot. Now I don't need two basses, and I can keep the roundwound strings. By stepping on the footswitch for 1 second, you get a tuner, very useful to have that. Now I don't need a separate tuner. There are other effects like distortion, delay, reverb, synth, and others I can't remember at the moment. Check out the PDF manual linked on this web page to see what it has. You can even use up to 4 effects together for even more variety. read more I takes a little practice to figure out how to set up sounds, but it's not that hard to do. With this stomp box, you probably won't need to buy a lot of individual stomp boxes. At least I don't. It's small enough to fit inside of my GCBASS case, too, so I don't need to buy a bag to carry it in.
