Zoom MS-60B/UK Multistomp Bass Pedal Bass stompbox, red

Product Information

The MS-50G's cutting-edge DSP microchip performs 32-bit floating-point calculations, giving it the ability to create sophisticated studio-quality effects such as the 29 rich, dense reverbs and realistic spatial simulations found here. These allow you to place your guitar in natural-sounding spaces such as rooms and halls or to add delays of up to 4 seconds. There are 25 types of delays available for MS-50G. Also included are reverb plates and springs and a tape delay simulator, as well as reverse, modulated, and self-oscillating delays. 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. MS-50G: mono input, stereo out, USB connectivity, good range of all guitar effects, and you can change them out with Zoom's effect editor. Primarily designed for guitar. Can use 6 effects at once. With the effect editor, you can choose from 172 effects, although the actual amount of effects the pedal can hold ranges from about 50 to 100.

The onboard chromatic tuner supports both standard and drop bass tunings, and you can opt to either bypass all effects during tuning or to mute the outputs so that you can tune in silence. Last but not least, the MS-60B's Tap Tempo feature allows you to to set delay times and modulation effect frequencies in real time to the rhythm of the song you're playing.MS-60Bでは32ビット浮動小数点演算が可能なDSPを採用し、リッチで濃密なリバーブをはじめ、ベースサウンドに奥行きと残響を付加する8種類のリバーブ／ディレイエフェクトを内蔵しています。ルームやホールリバーブのサウンドもナチュラルそのもので、ディレイエフェクトでは最大4秒のディレイタイムを設定できます。また、スラップバックエコーやプレートリバーブエミュレーション、リバースディレイ、モジュレーションディレイ、自己発振が可能な各種ディレイも内蔵しています。 The MS-60B comes loaded with 58 amp, pedal, preamp, and studio effects, most modeled on products by industry-standard names such as Ampeg, Mu-tron, and Avalon Design. You can edit effects to taste and store them individually, or in patches of up to four simultaneous effects. The pedal has 58 total patches, 30 of which have been preloaded as editable presets. You can cycle through four of your patches via footswitch. There’s also a tuner (with optional muting mode), tap-tempo for some delay effects, and a USB port for loading additional patches and updates. Web patch editor ( updated) - this version supports pedals with custom firmware and has four color themes - source code You can also use a USB MIDI controller, such as the DMC.micro with Ghost Adapter or similar a USB/MIDI controller, to add a couple more footswitches to cycle through patches, then use the main footswitch on the MultiStomp as a bypass switch. The 6 amp models provided here include emulations of classic tube amplifiers like the Ampeg SVT and Fender Bassman, as well as the contemporary sounds of the Hartke HA3500, acoustic 360, Aguilar DB750, and Italian Markbass Little Mark III, each with its own distinct cabinet modeling that can be used to further alter the tonal quality. What's more, you can pair any amp model to any cabinet model for unusual, and often striking effects. Modulation / Special Effects

If you have an MS-50G or MS-60B and you are creating a custom firmware for that pedal, then open the firmware file for that pedal ("ZOOM MS-50G System v3.10 Updater" or "ZOOM MS-60B v2.10 Updater"). IME, the MS-60B/B3/B1on/Xon generation sounds better. I've owned a B1X Four last year and, even tho' it could sound great, it was basically NOISIER and BOXIER, had a sorta' narrow response and an annoying peak @180hz when A/Bed with the MS-60B. I could tell this same thing every time I've tried a B3n, but wasn't sure because I hadn't A/Bed it with my MS-60B. There's an added con, the Bass PEQ effect is now single band, when it was previously 2-band. So it kinda' defeats the purpose of having 1 more slot (4 to 5) if I have to heavily EQ it (2 instances) and add ZNR to every patch. Still there's fancy new stuff in the B3n/B1 four generation, such as hi/lo pass filter. BUT old ones have the AC BS PRE (Fishman preamp emulation) that carries a DEPTH param, which is a hi-pass filter (few people know or exploit this). The other thing the new models have is Darkglass emulations. I've had success in faking it with either the DI+ (MXR) emulation or blending plain Metal Zone emulation (still building a GUMA DRIVE for this -and for the fun-). I've given all details about my MS-60B vs. B1X Four adventure in a TalkBass thread. Also, here's a sample from a fellow BCer. It's not the tones I'd use, but it gives an idea of the overall voicing difference between the 2 generations.
