Multi Stomp MS-50G : Nice little gem!

Prior to this pedal I owned a Digitech RP360 XP and a Boss Katana amp. Both feature desktop software that you can use to modify their behaviour. That may sound nice but it also a drawback as one may find himself more at his computer than playing guitar. In contrast, the MS-50G has its own simple user interface with a bright screen and computer software is only used to add even more (very useful) effects.

It?s quite easy to operate once you understand its principles: each preset can hold zero to many effects. Just add, move or delete effects to your liking to a preset. Each effect can be switched on or off by the foot switch and the pedal will automatically remember the settings.

Alternatively you can use the foot switch to scroll through presets. To do so you simple assign a letter to a preset. Suppose you have created twenty presets and you want to use 11 through 13 for a certain gig. Simply assign the letter ?a? to preset 11, ?b? to 12 and ?c? to 13. Now you can use the foot switch to scroll through these presets, from ?a? to ?b? to ?c? back to ?a? etc. If you don?t want any effects at all, create an empty preset and assign letter ?d? to it. Now you have three active presets and an ?off? option.

The fun thing about this pedal that is actually invites you to discover new sounds and to experiment. You can even use it as a sampler to get a taste of well-know effects. I like it!
