Location: SoCal | You know, I bought a Zoom A2 a few weeks ago... in fact it was the same day that I came down with a real nasty-ass flu. I didn't care for the Adamas model. And I finally returned the A2 because every time I looked at it I wanted to puke. It just reminded me of the flu way too much. |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I've goofed around a little with mine, and Most of the modeling sounds seemed ok to me. As far as the Adamas modeled sound ... I wasn't thrilled with it. Since I am playing my Adamas through the thing, the idea seems a little counter productive. I HAVE the Adamas sound. I'm sure I will like the effects though, since I really liked the older model. Where you really make money is when you go into each effect and make your own adjustments. There are so many parameters you can adjust, you can get lost in them. What I've done with my last pedal is I adjusted/set three different effects for each one of my guitars. Starting with very little added, then adding progressively more effects(ie., chorus,reverb,delay,flanger,etc.)with each of the three settings, then I store them in different banks. It keeps it fairly simple that way. I'm sure I'll be doing the same with this new pedal, accept now I'll have a lot more control, using the USB cable and the computer software they furnish with it. I can't wait to get a chance to do it. |

Location: SoCal | You know, these things are fun toys, but to get a really good sound, all you really need is eq capacity, either on the guitar or off board. |

Location: cincinnati, ohio | Since I got a Roland AC60 Acoustic Chorus amp, I haven't used the Zoom 504II nearly as much as I used to. I used to use it mostly to help out my Ibanez AEF18TVS (which I use when I play places where I don't want to risk my Ovations). My Ovations don't need it with the Fishman pickups. Just a little chorus, delay, and reverb, and some judicious EQ. The Balladeer has a very James Taylor-esque sound when the effects are bumped just above threshhold and the EQ is about flat. |
