New Zoom Multi FX: the MS-60B+

[la bam]

I've got one of these now. They really are excellent.

I know you're all eager to hear this - when your batteries are running flat, the old MS series stopped working (but you could check the battery level). On the Plus series, AFAICS you can't check the battery level but when the batteries run flat, it stops working and the panel flashes twice a second accompanied by a CLACK CLACK CLACK noise, so that's, er, really handy.

I just got another one of these. 

Last year I was looking for a one pedal solution, and as much as I liked this pedal, it did cut it for me, at the time. Now im going for a 2 box solution. EDB Microbass 3 for preamp and tuner, plus comp, and one external box for everything else. 

This time around im going to use it as a phaser/Chorus/OD (mostly OD) in conjunction with my Microbass 3 for now. I looked at pretty much everything on the market, but couldnt find anything close to this for this task. 

Almost got the ToneX one, but it seems fiddly to go between the above effects without extra work. Same with the GP-5. 

Thought about the HX One but again, seems fiddly. I dont need much, but what little I do want only seems to be in the MS60-B+. 

 

I think the MS60 will also work well for headphone practice, as I will get back the IR/cab sim feature. Maybe at some point I will sell the MB3, but I like the ability to adjust EQ settings with real knobs.
