160 factory patches. 80 user presets.
Overview
This is Zoom's all-new, top-of-the-line guitar box, with a metal case for onstage use and abuse. Besides the VAMS (Zoom's Variable Architecture Modeling System) amp and preamp emulations, there are 69 effect types - use up to 9 at once! The "Easy Edit" knobs and MIDI implementation make live and studio use a breeze. There are 160 built-in Zoom patches and 80 user programmable patches.
This is a Zoom product, so you know there are still more features. How about a 25 second phrase sampler? The sampler also has a mode called "Jam Play," which lets you record 12 seconds of audio and play it back at a slower speed - without changing the pitch! Cool!
When you factor in the built-in expression pedal and the large LED display, you have a formidable tool for making some awesome guitar sounds. This box is for all guitarists looking for a multi-effects pedal.

"Great sounds, great capabilities, CREATE YOUR OWN SOUND!!"
2 years owning it, haven't looked for any replacement. Great for playing gigs. Stands exactly where it should because of its weight. So you won't be dragging it when walking around. The power plug is really good because while it does have htat big black box for it, it the actual 2 prong thing comes out through an extention from it. Great sounds, great capabilities, CREATE YOUR OWN SOUND!!
Sound
Awesome sound comming out of this beast. It takes a while to get exactly what you want, but thats the thing your getting exactly what you want so it's worth the time.
Features
Great MIDI stuff. Wonderful for transfering patches and what not. Also get the best sound from this by tweeking it to the decimal.
Quality
GREAT!! Looks like a monster. I mean all metal construction. And it has this nifty grip thing on the pedal that I think you can like take it off to rinse. But it'll never come off while playing. My pedal is on its second owner and it's holding up perfect.
Value
It's worth every penny you'll invest in it. It sounded great through a lil 10 watt amp, and it sounds wonderfull out of a 120 watt. It's unbeatable.
Manufacturer Support
Support is great. The reason it is, is because I never needed it. Not one problem in two years owning it.
The Wow Factor
Oh well sex appeal towards it is great. Listening to the demo off the cd thats included will make you love it without touching it.
