Zoom MS-70CDR: Overview

2023 Update: After about a decade on the market, this is still a great pedal! If you enjoy ambient, shoegaze, psychedelic, post-rock or many other kinds of 21st century music it's impossible to go wrong at this price!

does it has a bypass?

No joke, this became my go to gigging pedal. Injected some custom effects set with the Effects Manager and Imm good to go! For both bass and guitar. Sure I gotta compromise but hey, it’s a super win for me ;)

The menu is a pain in the arse

I will never understand why they decided to stay on the zoom ms-100bt and not continue making pedals from this series, they could just make the zoom ms-200 or 500 with more capacity, new effects, etc. contrary to the zool g series that exists up to g11

I'd like to hear it!

I would love to see a new version with an additional switch for easy tap tempo, to include a looper and MIDI/Ctrl inputs.

The display is too small for me. Is there a larger version of this, maybe something newer??

You should do synth version of this with midi and line input. Synth players love this thing

I see it can take "active" guitar input...but is that different from line level? Does it work with line level input?

I have a h9 max, but want something to go with my synths simultanously, so sniffing on anorther H9, or maybe go with this?
Maybe it owuld work together with the H) too? Any suggestions?

Just bought brand new has a nasty high pitch whine, when you connect in series from instrument to amp very noisy no good for recording,, tried as an insert effect in my Soundcraft mixer still sounds terrible noise floor, but for live is o.k. will stick to vst plugs for recording.

Its possible to run vocal signal throught this one?))

Just realised, well a 9 volt 500 mAh power supply isn't unusual, except they have made it centre negative and outer positive, so a bit like a zx spectrum if my memory serves, ridiculous, good job it can be powered by the USB connector.

Get one, you nugget. This thing is so jam packed its a no brainer. Worth the price for sure.

Highly recommend one. Be aware however, there is a very small amount of “tonesuck” that can easily be over come by having it placed in a loop pedal OR running the exciter effect as an always on option which is what I prefer.

Is it used for saxophone

Can it be used with acoustic guitar?

Sorry for the stupid question but please can anyone tell me how to turn it off or I just should plug it out when I will finish?

Does it have a tap tempo?

Can it be powered by the usb port ?

why does the ms70 has no drive update? while the ms50 has mod, rev and delay?

This is the most useful pedal I ever had. And I had literally hundreds of them. Only drawback is that I wish a display with a more brightness. Its very dim. It would be great if it was bright like on a G3 that I have.

Love this pedal but I wish you could dial in the tempo rather than having to use tap tempo.

Really helpful ! Because i have a problem to read the notice, it's to small for my old eyes...
...But with this demo, I now understand all the tips and secrets inside that wonderful FX process !
Thank you so much for all the great job !

My uncle is gifting me this pedal 😅😅 but does it make loops

Great pedal, does loads of stuff well but the shoegaze sounds you can get out of are astounding!!!

A great pedal. I had to buy two.

Can we have a tutorial video ?

Is there anybody out there that can show me how to put it back to factory setting that's all I'm asking thank you

Any plans of updating the Zoom Multistomp line? A lot of users including me would love a new version in a similar size, with the ability to connect via MIDI or Aux switch, as well as two assignable footswitches(rather than one) for a wider functionality. Such as scrolling left/right within a patch with footswitch A/B, engage with A + B, or Page Up patch memories with A + B, engage/bypass with A and Tap Tempo with B, hold A for ramping a parameter, and hold B for the Tuner.). Higher quality encoders/knobs/buttons would also be great. I would gladly pay more for something like that.

what is the easiest way to control this from a boss ms3 via midi? if it is possible then consider another unit sold :)

This sounds great!  I'm having a small problem though.  How do I select just one single effect?  Do I have to create a patch with just the effect I want to run at the time?  Also, if I edit the parameters of an effect, do the new edited parameters update in all the patch memories that effect has been saved in, or are all the parameters saved with the patch?  Thanks!!!

cual me recomendaria el ms-50 o el ms-70 ambos trabajan igual porque el ms-50 se actualizo

Hi John, I have a question...If I have four effects running at the same time, how do I turn all of them off at once?

Hi, can you assign effects to only the right or left side ?

Can it be powered by the USB port?

Can you use chorus and delay together?

can it produce any sort of distortion/drive?

As soon as i bought mine, it has had sort of a detuned delay sound that is constant, even when the red light is OFF. Does anyone know how to go in and reprogram it somehow, so that that sound is not constantly running? It is obviously a malfunction, but i never had time to deal with it, when i first bought it a little over a year ago, and then forgot about using it. Let me know. thanks!!

I have on my pedal board the Chorus essemble and the DD3 both from Boss, would it be wise to sell these two pedals and replace them with the MS 70 zoom?

I have one in my pedalboard, great, if it had a midi interface would be perfect.

Sounds too good to be true and so freakin cheap! Anyone used one with synths?

I use the 70CDR with my synthesizers. :)

I have one and it's AWESOME...

Great!!!
