"A whole lotta good words"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Obviously, there are slightly better systems out there, BUT if you want to pay 400 DOLLARS for those "slightly better" ones, go ahead. This device is the best deal and worth 70, heck 100 buks.
Sound
SO MANY EFFECTS! I can't even begin to describe how good this product is.
Features
Everything definitely serves a purpose. No wasted space.
Quality
Let's just say I've dropped it more time than I should but it is still runnin' fine.
Value
Get this NOW. You won't regret it.
The Wow Factor
It's sexy, it's sleek, and it's silver or black. What more can I say?

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

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.
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!
Features
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.
Manufacturer Support
no clue.......no need.
The Wow Factor
Practical.

I am sure I will end up with something more road worthy since I play out quite often, but for now, I'm completely happy with the new inexpensive little toy.
Sound
This pedal doesn't sound bad at all.. Actually, for the price, it sounds great.. This is a good pedal for those interested in testing the multi-effect waters without spending an arm and a leg. And with the headphone out feature, it's awesome if nothing more than to practice without bothering others.
Features
Once again, good features for the price.
Value
I give this a 10 because as I've said.. For $49.00, you can't beat it.

"DOES THIS TITLE ATTRACT YOU TO MY REVIEW?????"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
won't need any other product, maybe an expression pedal, but doubtful.
Sound
all awsome except the distortion. i use a digitech metal distortion pedal along with this one. had it for a year and a half. its tough. plastic, yes..... wimpy, no.. sounds great for choruses, flangers, compression, wah, everything except distortion.
Features
no accessories. just the pedal.
Quality
i can't imagine it breaking. its tough. not joking, don't be fooled just because its plastic. i think it must be some kind of military super plastic or something......
Value
cant beat it. its worth twice the price.
Manufacturer Support
havent needed it. the manual is easy to get online when you lose yours.
The Wow Factor
its ugly.
