He is a French and I think he just moved back to France from Tahiti.

YES! That Guitar Center waaaaaay off the strip!
I went to the one in Hollywood (where I got my ZW Les Paul) and you're right. The one in LA has MUCH better stuff......

And Pix....... I think we need an update!!!

any of you guys have experience with zoom 505 II? how does it fare? i'm thinking of adding it to my chain for versatility, not for main distortion though. just to play around. how does it fare working amongst other compact pedals and wah, being a digital effect processor? particularly interested in:

- how's the tuner? really chromatic?
- how's the bypass mode? will it effect overall sound?
- where should i put it? before or after compact pedal? (of course before the wah, right?)

edit: btw, +ve and -ve reviews are welcomed. i've read most of the available reviews on the net, most a re +ve, but there are some -ve too. just like to know what people here think.

all i can say i the wah...SXXX

i think most will give u negative comments. however, using the zoom for things like flanger, chorus etc is just decent. not too bad and can get the job done.

To me, Zoom sounds too digital for my liking.
And besides, they discontinued the 505II already..... replaced with the 2.0 and 2.1u.

I would recommend zoom 2.1u as a very first pedal, as has alot of options to play with AND USB recording for a reasonable price.

If USB recording isn't important, go for the Korg Toneworks 1500g...... much better audio quality.

Yeah, and since you'll probably be able to get it at bargain-basement price, there's really no harm in trying it out.

i'm not gonna use it as a main effect, just for fine tuning a bit, mostly for clean. interested in the ZNR. definitely not gonna use the distortion and wah. well, maybe on headphones . think of it as extra arsenal, besides i'm getting a used one.

the thing i like on the zoom 505 II is the noise gate (which rocks), delay and chorus...the rest is on the so-so level...and yes, it's very digital sounding...but if you can live with it, then shouldn't be a problem for you...

something from gustavo...a brazilian guitarist...

guys, izzit possible to change the edge3 bridge on RG370dx to another bridge?

I've tested S470 and still prefer RG, and can't afford rg1570.

not all. tried the analogs already ?

wheee
bought 4 jazz III's
not too bad
thick as hell tho
2 reds n 2 blacks
the reds are way hard on their own man
the blacks are firmer than the reds
=p

comparison to tortex jazz
the jazz III is warmer sounding, thicker and slightly smaller
feels like its realllll durable, grip wise is pretty good unexpectedly
=p

well zoom 505II has decent modulations..and the best thing i like bout it is the ZNR which really helps wit me squier SSS strats.basically...distortion is kinda xxxx...the wah is the worst effect ever built in it.


that brazillian is great..the cream..his style..sounds something like satriani's one.

Gustavo is really good. . . i've seen alot of his videos. . . for one he has every single God Forsaken Guitar on earth. . . JS model, JEM models, PG models, Gibson, Fender, watever. . . lolz. . . must be some multi-millionaire. . . so jealous. . .

when he plays he really plays up to a point where you think it's the real guy playing. . . the nuances, lelgato, phrasing, everything, so real. . . respect him totally. . . Check out his For The Love Of God - Vai. . . good stuff. . .

i find black ones harder than red ones. i tried bending them, the black ones won't budge but the red ones bent. does that count to stiffness too ?

i find black ones have better grip. and yes they are very very durable, still using my first one right now. got 2 more in stock

finally able to get hold of my MicroCube! the sound is really satisfying, and it's loud!

for pick, i'm using black tortex 0.88 now

^
how much did you pay for it? you got any other amps(sorry i don't know)

hmm its better than many 10-15 watts amp.i dun wan to say 20 to brag it.but thats why u pay near 400 for a 2 watter and built in effects.u get what u pay.

lol sweetooh u dun need to be sorry for asking him..u dunno him right.haha cheers

well... u can change it to edge pro, or original/licensed floyd rose if you want

not sure about kahlers though

my bro bought it from bentley for RM380. it's a black colour by the way. red and white one should be slightly more expensive because of their 'limited edition-ness'
