Thanks, I was more talking about the metal ends that aren't plugged into any pedals. One of them did accidentally touch another, the pedals all lost power for a second and reset...

Thanks for the v helpful replies! I've learned a lot Another stupid question... Do I have to be careful that two exposed daisy-chain plug ends never touch, when the power supply is turned on? If so, I guess I'll have to put tape around them or something.

Hi all, I'm a noob with electronics. I've got this power supply, notice the polarity symbol on it - it doesn't match the symbol of that of the two pedals on the right. And the two on the left don't even have that symbol. Am I ok to use this or will it blow up my pedals? Lol

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone knows what else (if anything) the DMC.micro can control on a Zoom MS, other than just scrolling through presets? Thanks

I've just bought a Diago PS01

Hi all, I'm after a small power supply to fit under my pedaltrain nano, but can provide juice for 5 pedals, that each need 9v 300mah. People keep telling me to get the CIOKS dc7, but I'm not spending £250 on a plug!! Does anyone have any experience with the Diago PS01?

It says it comes with everything you need and PDF instructions... but I'm still skeptical. Just can't face dropping another £100 on a pedal simply to change presets

Hi all, I'm considering dropping $55 on the Lizard Breath Zoom MS mod... But I'm wondering, to anyone whose done it - how easy is it? I'm not too technologically gifted! It's either this or I spend double and get the DMC.micro

Well, I've just reserved a Boss OC5 - seemed like it ticket all the boxes!

Thanks for the informative replies. I think I'll avoid both these pedals then. I had a look at the SY-1 but didn't like the sound

Hi all, I'm trying to decide between these two octave pedals. I'm looking for one that can track to the low E (standard tuning), can handle slap and that is polyphonic. To my ears these sound very similar, and very good. Which one would you pick?

Ok, so I think I may have made a mistake... lol Since ordering the MS70CDR earlier today, I've been playing with my B3 for about 2 hours -man I forgot how awesome this thing is... It's just so easy to use, everything is displayed clearly etc. I like how I can have basically 100 slots for my own patches. My only reason I wanted to change it was because: A) I wanted more effects in a chain (6 as opposed to 3) B) I wanted a smaller sized pedal C) I wanted the option to be able to change patches AND turn effects on/off using a footswitch. The MS70CDR ticks A & B, but not C. I think only the Zoom B3n ticks C. So if I want to tick C, it seems I need to buy myself a Disaster Area DMC footswitch for another £100... So that's £200 altogether with the MS70CDR. For £130, I could have bought a Zoom B3n. Heck, for £250 I could have bought a used Helix! The more videos I watch, the harder the MS70CDR looks to use (compared to the B3). I also didn't realise that it only has 25 patch slots (I've already used up around 50 slots on my B3 so far). And if I put on the other effects from the other pedals using the firmware hack, then the Tonelib software won't recognise them (although I think there is a browser-based patch editor, which is a must seeing as the pedal only only has one screen). I think my ideal scenario is, if I can accept that the B3 has a 3-effect limit (which is annoying but not the end of the world), is there any way I can use a footswitch to scroll through the patches, whilst still being able to turn off individual effects? Will the Disaster Area DMC.micro or DMC-3XL solve this problem? I already have the Digitech FS3X footswitch that I use for my SDRUM, but annoyingly it isn't compatible with Zoom devices - and I don't want to start attempting to mod my own electronics... I've already had a look at Ashbass and the mods look too complicated.

Thanks for all the replies. I've learned that the MS50G, MS60B, MS70CDR can all share effects by using a 3rd party software, which is pretty awesome! But now I'm wondering, maybe I'll go for the MS50G or MS70CDR, as they can have up to 6 effects in a row rather than the MS60B which can only have 4... But I also read somewhere that the extra added effects cannot be read by the Tonelib editing software, meaning all the patch editing would need to be done on the stompbox which isn't very handy

I don't know guys... I'm leaning more towards the MS60B - according to this it has around 152 bass-specific effects! https://zoomcorp.com/media/documents/E_MS-60B_FX-list_v2.pdf

Hi all, I currently use a Zoom B3 with no other effects pedals (apart from the SpectraComp on my RH750). The Zoom has been great although none of the effects sound *that* great. But you get what you pay for. One effect in particular, the octaver, is not good and distorts with anything below an A (standard tuning) which turns into mud. So I then said to myself, "Ok I'll just buy a separate dedicated octaver!" That's now opened up a wormhole... And not just because there are so many octavers to choose from... I now find myself looking at different small pedal boards to buy (never used one before) and am considering selling the B3 as it would take up too much real estate. I don't need its drum machine function (as I have an SDRUM) and I don't need the looper function (as I have a Boss RC3). I'm now considering one of the following as a suitable alternative to the B3: - Zoom MS60B: Pretty much the same as the B3 but smaller and with less effects, harder to use in a gig situation, unless it's already pre-setup. Also a YouTube hack apparently unlocks more effects... - Zoom MS100BT: Don't know much about this, not sure if it's more guitar-orientated. But one forum user highly recommended it in place of the MS60B. Like the MS60B, a YouTube hack can apparently unlock more effects... - Zoom B1four: Seems the same size as the B3 so wouldn't gain any real estate, but newer technology means better sounding effects? - Someone's also told be that the Line 6 Pod X3 is miles ahead of the Zoom pedals in terms of effects quality, so now I just don't know what to do! Haha. I always thought the Line 6 gear was quite dated... Any sage advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks for the replies, please close this thread as I've made another similar thread.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm also considering the MS100BT as heard good things but don't know much about it

Hi all, I'm trying to make some room on a pedal board (that I've yet to get), and one way to gain real estate is to get rid of my big old Zoom B3. I'm thinking about 'downgrading' to the smaller Zoom MS60B - does anyone know how much I'll lose out on? Thanks

Oh, so when using an aux-in I have to play through headphones? That's a bummer

Wait what?? Headphone-only aux-in? That makes no sense... Headphones are an output device. Why can't I plug in an mp3 player like literally every other amp?

Hi all, Just tried to use the aux-in on my TC RH750 for the first time, and can't get it to work. I want to play drums off youtube on my phone, so I plugged it in the back using a 3.5mm jack... but no sound... Am I doing something wrong?

Just noticed he's got Mesa cabs, must have been before GK

Hi all, I currently jam with my drummer in Leamington, looking for a guitarist to join us. Alternatively I'd love to start some new projects. Based in both North London and Coventry
