"Toy, Heavy, Poor built in sounds. Get what you pay for."

Overall: 2.5 out of 5 stars

I wouldn't buy this if you want professional sounding music. It is more of a toy.
Sound
The sound is clear. nothing special.
Ease of Use
Takes a while to get used to. Manual isn't as clear as it should be.
Quality
The built in guitar sounds are crap. A digitech pedal sounded better through the clean input than the built in sounds. The drum machine isnt very good. The kits suck except for a couple of the hiphop kits. Lots of beats. Buttons all work good. It is made well but doesnt compare to a boss.
Value
Cheap and does the trick.

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I will use this product for a very long time, and I have no use for effects pedals now I have it.
Sound
Really great recording tool. The guitar effects are great for any style, and they are all fully customisable...same goes for all the mike stuff, bass stuff etc. Very accurate, and a real pleasure to listen to. Sounds great through and audio system. I record with my guitar, and by using the realistic drum machine & bass sim it sounds like a real band.Headphone usage is awesome too, I'm really pleased with the sound quality.
Features
The product came with power cables and an adaptor, which were in perfect condition. You also get an extremely thorough instruction manual, and seperate sheets. A cd is also supplied with drivers for burning cd's on your computer, and the whole process worked without a hitch. There are seriously no features on this machine that do not have a function. I particularly liked the editing facilities, which were top-notch and very, very efficient.
Quality
I am very pleased with the overall finish. The plastic construction is sturdy, useable on the road- unless you like to stamp on your stuff....no blemishes or loose parts on mine, Zoom even supply you with a spare set of screws in case you lose one or two, which I found very thoughtful.
Value
Great features for a great price- worth the investment.
Manufacturer Support
I have had no problems with the product, so I have not made use of the support- although Zoom provide a website and various help numbers. Any problems with operation can be solved by looking through the manual.
The Wow Factor
It's looks may not appeal to all, but I certainly loved the product and the intuitive features only add to this. Looks sleek, compact, runs nice & quiet, and overall is a worthy addition to any setup.
