I couldn't ask for a better unit. I can't afford a Martin D-28 but when I plug in and use this pedal, you'd swear I was playing a D-28. Sound quality is superb. I have a decent acoustic/electric guitar but this pedal can make a cheap acoustic/electric guitar sound like a Martin or a Taylor. You can't miss with this one.

Offers plenty of features to tweak your sound however you want it. An AC adapter is included as well so that will save you some batteries and another $20 for an adapter.

As with any unit like this, there is a learning curve when It comes to tweaking it but to be honest, I've never had to do that much. The included presets offer just about any sound you could possibly use. (in MY case anyway)

Old style steel switches. The housing seems to be made of either aluminum or a very hard and thick plastic. IMO, unless your throwing it against concrete walls, It should last you for years.

For the price you can't beat it. I honestly think that Zoom could have set the price MUCH higher and they would be selling just as well.

Giving them the benefit of the doubt as I've never had to use them.

Looks great. I like the metallic green color.

Pedal sounds great. The effects are all good and believeable. THe best thing is that everything is totally adjustable. The only drawbacks are the way the modules are setup. You can only use one effect from each module, so some effect that you'd like to mix can't be done. Also, reverb can't be used when using the drum machine. The drum machine sounds great by the way and is a lot of fun.

The number of effects are great. Especially when you consider the sheer number of patches that can be used. 40 factory plus 40 user with 47 effects types! $99 bucks is amazing for what you get.

Very easy to use. The disply is small but very understandable. Just select the module and start turning the knobs til you're happy with the sound.

This is a great pedal with all metal construction. Very tough and should definitely outlast other multieffcts which are all plastic.

You get a truly amzing and versatile product for what it costs.

Haven't used it, but the instructions are great

Come on. It's a pedal. Most folks will never realize it is there. However, the green is cool and the chrome is sharp. It looks great for what it is.

I have a Composite Acoustic OX guitar with a Baggs undersaddle pickup. It sounds OK, nothing to write home about. Whatever factory setting it is when you turn it on made it jump out of my hands.

Comes with AC adapter. I found the drum machine and within two minutes wrote two new guitar songs.

I havent even got to the manual to find out how to dial it in and I love it. I will be up all night going through the settings.

Seems quite sturdy.

A tuner pedal costs more than this thing.

After reading so many positive reviews, I decided to purchase this unit for my acoustic duo. Unfortunately I was really disappointed with the boxy digital sound.

Lots of features. Lots of effects. Parameter adjustment was straight-forward and did what I expected them to do.

The unit feels heavy and sturdy. No complains about the build quality.

While this offers modeling choices for 11 different acoustic guitar models, I've found this excels at bringing out the best in the acoustic-electric plugged into it. While it comes with a noise reduction feature built in, I have found it to be virtually noiseless without even turning the noise reduction on. The 6-band EQ option really helps to scoop out the midrange to eliminate piezo "quack."

While the unit can be battery-operated (4-AA cells), an AC power supply is included with it. The best features are the modFX and delays. It also includes an on/off switch. What it lacks, IMO, is a good stereo output. Instead of using two 1/4" TS jacks for separate L/R signals, this uses a single 1/4" TRS output jack. I also wish the unit had put the reverse delay and tape echo functions in the delay/reverb cluster of FX. Instead, Zoom put them with the modulation FX (chorus/phaser/flanger/tremolo) so one cannot use phaser or flanger with reverse delay--so much for my using this for a rendition of "Rain"

This is very easy to use. The interface is not completely intuitive, but the instruction manual is clearly written and five minuts spent reading it is sufficient. I was able to edit and store 20 user-edited patches in less than an hour. And about 10 minutes of that hour was spent in tweaking the EQ to get it to sound the way I wanted. After that it was a snap.

This is very solidly built. The four adjustment knobs are sturdy, not loose. The two footswitches are solid on/off types like you would find on an old-fashioned stomp box--not lightweight solenoid type switches. While I have not owned this long enough to tell how it will work in the long run, several friends have been using the Zoom 505 and 504 boxes for over 6 years now with little sign of wear. If this lasts half that long it will be worth it.

Even though this has a ton of features I'll probably never need or use, it is worth the price for the features I will be using. It has the most features compared with any other product in its price range, or even double it's price.

I'd have to say I have no experience with their customer service but I've never had a problem where I've had to deal with them.

While this is definitely a great piece of equipment and I don't regret this purchase, I could not give this a 10 simply because of what it lacks in features. Yes, if I had to do it over again, I'd still pick this unit; but if it had dual 1/4" outputs and reverse delay in the proper FX cluster with the other delay FX, this would rank a solid 10 with me.

Guitar modeling is good, subtle (read as "not cheesy". Fool with the buttons and you can get just about anything you want - multi-function buttons allow you to set the parameters for everything with 3 knobs.

Have been using for about a week and it's much more than just plug and play. Seems to be fairly intuitive once you get used to it - you may want to keep the manual around to see what all those parameters actually are (or memorize about 300 of them).

Not for the faint of heart. Display is a 2 digit code so you really have to know where things are stored. Keep a list handy. This is the only real drawback but i'm getting used to it.

Seems to be well made, I haven't dropped it down the steps yet.

Seems to be a lot of bang for the buck. Chorus, echo, flanger, phase shifter, etc all under on roof. Add 'em up people.

Haven't needed it.

Uh, it's a foot pedal. It is a REALLY nice color green though.
