Zoom Multi Stomp MS-60B

Excellent sound and features but not built for heavy duty usage

This stomp for bass is excellent, probably unmatched for the price, in terms of features and audio processing quality. However, as has been my experience with a lot of Zoom products I've used, the construction, although pretty and well finished, is not very robust. This is perfectly ok if you intend to use this at home or in a controlled studio environment by a limited number of careful users, but I suspect the pedal will not last long in a life of stage performance with energetic players stomping on it.

Good enough for live/stage use, convenient form factor

So far have used this in a couple of rehearsals and one live gig. When playing at home alone, I always hear a little trebly digital distortion around the low E note (no effects engaged), even if I lower the input signal (this does not happen with B1on), but was never able to notice this at high volume levels when playing with others. So I think not good for recording, but for gigging completely fine. Very good when you consider the form factor and convenience.

It's a nice device, but very limited.

With this multi-effect pedal I realized that it is MUCH more practical to work with vst plugins, giving you thousands of other possibilities and more easily. The pedal is good, but nowadays, with all the VST options we have, this is a bad option because you are creatively limited: the design doesn't give up, it doesn't inspire the user enough to create interesting sounds. You will lose your money just like I did.

Excellent

For his price and for his versatility, is one of the best digital effect that you can buy

PRO

Super programmable and easy

CON

A bit limited and flat as sound but for his quality you cannot find better

Great effect

Overall great effect with lots of good sounds and options.

Possibilities are nearly endless with this one.

The interface might be a little more intuitive, apart from that - a flawless product.

Fantastic piece of equipment

kudos to the Zoom team for putting together the essentials for bass tone in such a compact yet hardy piece of equipment. I was very skeptical at first even after reading all the positive reviews and within a week a of using it i'm hardcore fan.

Given the compact nature requires some time to figure out all the functions and full potential and once that's figured out its smooth sailing. Got some really amazing preset tones and lots of space for new ones. Quality of tones and amp simulations are very much close to actual pedals and the differences between tones are clearly audible. Special mention about the envelope filters which are spot on. For me all i need to add some color to my bass tone is here and I really dont think i will be buying any other equipment. Battery lasted for a bit longer than a full gig but no worries. Only warning is to first go through the settings and disable auto saving edits to prevent any accidental changes which may happen on the preset tones.

Zoom Multi Stomp MS-60B Bass Multi Effect

So many stuff in one little pedal! It is amazing what you can do. It should have more slots like the equivalents for the guitar, but still it is an amazing Bass Multi Effect pedal.

Grear little pedal for those looking to get into the effects world!

Good

Good sound and easy to handle. There are many setup options available.

Great little pedal

What a great little pedal, easily the best all in one pedal for the money.

I got this pedal as a first pedal as I didn?t really know what sort of pedals I wanted to spend money on so I decided to go for a cheap multi effect then workout what sound I wanted and liked and then spend some money on some dedicated effect pedals.

This has defiantly sufficed. It has so many different effects and amps you can really play around and have fun. And having the built in tuner is a real plus.

It?s worth saying that because it?s a multi effect pedal it doesn?t sound as good as a dedicated pedal or amp, but for the money you really can?t complain. I wouldn?t use it in a recording studio, but for little live gigs it would be fine.

Another thing to note is that the output from the pedal is line level not instrument level so just be careful where you?re plugging it in to.

The pedal controls take a bit of getting used to, but once you get the hang of them then you can quickly navigate the menus and get the sounds you want.

So who would this pedal be good for?

For a first pedal you can?t do better, it has such a great range of sounds for you to play with. Also if you need a big array of sounds but don?t have the room/don?t want to carry around a pedal board this would be a great option.

If you?re really into your sounds and want the best possible sounds you can get then this probably won?t cut it.
