One Great Effects Pedal for my MicroFreak

I just purchased this Zoom MultiStomp Effect Box to enhance the dry sounds from my Arturia MicroFreak Synth. The MicroFreak is quite an amazing synthesizer, with endless sonic possibilities but it lacks ANY Effects, not even a simple Chorus. Although I've dabbled with Guitar and Bass my whole life I am not a "real" player on those instruments (I'm an old Drummer) so I was never into Effects Pedals. I just used whatever effects that were built into my amps, oh yeah I did have a cheap Wah Wah Pedal back in 1969. Someone recommended this Zoom MultiStomp. I must admit it is quite impressive and full of effects for such a low price. I also just found out that there is a Free Application called Zoom Effect Manager, available for MAC and PC's that includes and lets you install Effects onto this Pedal from all of the other Zoom Effect Boxes/Pedals. Talk about a powerhouse of Effects from one small box.

So aside from just using it for my MicroFreak, I am now also incorporating this little magic Effects Box into my Tascam Model 12 Mixer/Recorder workflow. Channels 1 & 2 have "insert" jacks. I can utilize these with a "Y cable" between the Model 12 and the Zoom Box. Using the Y, one for in and one for out on the Zoom, the other single end of the cable carries both the send and return signal back to the Tascam Insert Jack on Channels 1 & 2 (both are mono, unbalanced.) This gives me a slew of extra Effects for my Analog Synthesizers in addition to what the Tascam Model already offers.

I had one space on a Nano and needed a decent tuner and the most flexible, best sounding multi effects unit on the market for Bass and this is it. Highly recommended!

Killer Drones

If you're into making a racket with synths, samplers, and other such electrical machinery, this pedal can't be beat for the price. I wish I had known about it years ago. It has instantly become a centerpiece in my setup as I'm finally getting some new and exciting sounds since forever. I'll probably buy another one at some point.

I've mostly been using it with Blackbox, which is a pretty stellar combination. I have it set up as an FX send/return so I can dink around with patches and resample the sounds for further processing/sequencing. Not many better ways to kill time during a pandemic.

My opinion:
1) Sound quality - An Eventide it is not. But it makes some mental sounds that I'm not sure any other FX pedal in this price range can touch. I mostly use the reverbs and delays, which are perfect for my needs (the spring and plate are nice on a 303, but the spring doesn't sound anything like a spring is supposed to; it has its own flavor that I quite like). A few of the delays can be used like a rudimentary looper if you're into that sort of thing (Smooth Delay and Stomp Dly are my current favorites for that). I wouldn't call it lush sounding but you can coax some pretty cozy sounds out of it. It's great for drones. If you're used to fancy pedals that sound expensive, try before you buy. If you're into experimenting and coming up with new sounds to sample & process then this thing will be your pal.

2) Usability - Super easy to learn and navigate but I'm the kind of person who RTFM. Not too menu-divey; you're usually only one page away from where you want to go. It hasn't made me swear once. Well, I said WTF a couple times but it was a cheer.

3) Build quality - It's in a metal case so that's good. I worry about the longevity of the encoders. Those buggers always go wonky after too much twiddling, and too much twiddling this thing will get. I saw someone on ebay selling one with a cracked screen so that's a thing. I'm also not super confident in the push buttons & stomp switch but time will tell. It seems solid out of the box though (but a reminder: it's not an Eventide).

4) Power - This thing can be powered three ways: 2 AA batteries, USB, or wall wart. I'm building a battery powered setup so this is a key reason I bought it. Beware that it can suffer from the dreaded USB whine if you're not careful. I tried powering it from the USB host port on both Blackbox and MPC Live and "whheeeeeeee" it went like I stepped on its toe. This isn't necessarily a fault with the unit; USB noise just happens if you're not doing it right. I have other USB gear that can whine too. Sounds fine on AA batteries, USB power supply, and USB battery brick. I haven't tried powering it with a wall wart but I don't see the need with all the phone chargers I have sitting around. There's a lot of fun here in a small, mobile package.

5) Sync - This is the only real problem area for me. You can only sync via tap tempo. That's it. You can't dial in the tempo using an encoder and there is no clock or MIDI in. Tempo can only be set in integers, so you can't set a tempo of 66.6 BPM. The good news is most of the delays and a few other time-based FX can be synced via tap tempo. So far I've not had a problem hitting the target (you can tap either the stomp switch or an encoder–the encoder has been more accurate for me). You can also set the units with an encoder (like 8th notes or whatever) so that's handy (heads-up: the time units are hidden way at the top of the dial, easy to miss). I've read that the USB port does have some MIDI capability–like you can use CCs to engage the tuner and change patches–but it doesn't take MIDI clock. That would be a sweet firmware update, Zoom.

6) Changing patches - I've seen some noodlers complain about the way you have to change patches on the unit–I guess their hands are busy–so if you're a guitar player you might not like this thing for live use if you need to play footsie with it. I've seem some third-party switches for it that solve that problem though. But for my setup the patch change buttons are preferred. That said, it is a bit of a drag scrolling through 137 FX but they're at least organized by category (reverbs, delays, etc.), which gets you there a lot faster.

In the end, great pedal for sound design and experimentation at relatively little cost. To make it better I would add 1) MIDI or clock sync and 2) A soft touch momentary button instead of the stomp switch.

Worth the price

I haven't had a lot of time to go through a lot of it and I am not sure I ever will. I found the perfect sound I was looking for and will more than likely just leave it there.

AWSOME!

Pair this with a tube screamer and you've already got everything you need. Overdrive, boost, fuzz, distortion, reverb, delay, chorus, phaser, flanger, tremolo, and a compressor.

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

Kris Eckman

I've created ambient and psychedelic music for years. Even on a shoestring budget, I'm always looking for new and interesting effects. The affordable Zoom MS-70CDR gives me all of the high-fidelity reverb, delay, and modulation styles I need. Best of all, it lets me customize and stack them to create sounds I've never heard before. I rarely record without it!
