Bought a 505 back in the day, because you recommended it in an email exchange we had in the late 90's (Edsamail days)
Edsamail!
Cool
505 is the most portable multi FX rig I carry around specially during christmas time to do back to back to back gigs wherein setup time is essentially not a luxury. 2 cables, an adapter, then rock n roll. Congratulations on the 100K YT channel subscribers.
I had a 505 also in the 90s , Zoom does have a instantly recognizable sound, yours brought back memories.
Appreciate this review. Reminds me of my Zoom 606 days. Showing an old multifx can still be kick ass. Great job Perf!
I have one and it still works, love the video, I am going to get it out right and play through it!
YES! the Zoom505 was my chit! still own it and it still works!
I used to have one...many moons ago...this vid is a great blast from the past for me! ....I remember listening to some of your playing back in the early 2000's.... Downloaded from limewire...lol... Sounded amazing then. Glad I came across your channel! Great video!
This was my first effects pedal when I first started playing guitar. What a trip down memory lane.
I've still got mine. Had it all professionally gone through, all the connections resoldered etc. There are just some sounds in that thing I can't get anywhere else!
I still have mine. 👍
I still have mine
I remember really falling in love with the room reverb on it. Eq was frustrating, distortion only good enough for practice the mods aren't bad though and I'm not picky or over reliant on delay.. So I feel ya!
Thanks for giving the Zoom 505 some love! I still use mine along with my amp foot switch.
My first processor ever, was the Zoom 707 II. Loved it. I currently own the MS 70 CDR, which has definitely come a long way since then, and is quite a workhorse.
I still have mine along with the G1, G2G, G9.2tt, and the G1Xon. Thanks for the video. Took me waaaaay back.
Just gotten my original one back after ~15 years. Tweaking it as I’m writing this. I’m gonna do club gigs with it, since I’m only a 2nd guitarist in my band and I think I’ll get away with going crazy with the settings in the background. This pedal was a life saver for us in the late 90s - early 00’s.
Bought my 505 20 + years ago, still have it, still works and still play with it now and then :)
I had one of these forever ago and I swore by it. I even did alot of recordings with it that I think still sound good (granted I used an outboard EQ for it most of the time) so I think it's a underrated gem.
these explains why the factory preset patches when i had my 505 back in the days sounded like rivermaya hahahahaha...
I use a Zoom GFX-1 for everything and I still love it after all these years. I think a lot of people expect these to sound awesome out of the box without reading the manual, but with some tweaking they can sound awesome.
That's exactly the same Zoom effects we used to have in the Church in Early 2000.Its delay effects is awesome.
My first multifx unit, after I had bought a PSK super metal pedal, back in 95-96... What a throwback man!!!
My first multi-fx. Hooked-up on Zoom products eversince by upgrading to 707 and after a while to G2.1u. After forced selling G2.1u and many years after, I bought a 2nd hand Zoom G1Next. I recall Zoom multi-effects as sounding awesome (recently bought the G2.1u which is priced very low these days). Being on topic, I will not forget the one gig where I used the Zoom 505. I edited a patch on the spot before our last song (Play That Funky Music) and recall using an overdrive patch with high gain. I was using humbuckers on my guitar and used the volume control to switch between twangy clean tones to sweet crunchy overdrive. I think I was using a Fender Princeton amp. Up to now, I still can't get over that sweet, sweet tone from a humble multi-fx unit!
I love the distortion sound of this zoom 505..i still have one of this i have zoom 606 i never sell it since the distortion sound of it is very vintage and you cant find it to any multi fx nowadays.. Thanks sir perf for this video..
I still have mine as well and still love it. No amp required for headphone practice and sounds great
Thanks, Perfecto for the reminding us. I remember wishing that I had this unit way back in 96. I opened my Guitar World Magazine (I think that was October 96 issue) and this multi-effect system was the first one that I got interested in. I own three of its successors in my collection now, the 505II, 506II and another 505II that a friend gave me about a couple of months ago. I'm retiring my first 505II because it has been my workhorse since 1999 when I bough it. I still have the desires and hopes to have an original ZOOM 505. I have found some sellers though but what they have are in really bad condish. Thanks again for sharing.
Just dug mine out of storage! First Pedal I ever bought in 1995. Still have the box and instructions! 🤟 Rock on!!
He has the box!
I bought this effects pedal 25 years ago. Played it for about a year then put it back in its box in the attic which is where it stayed until 1 week ago. Just got it back out and started to use it again. Mine is immaculate still in its box and still with all its instructions 😏😎💁🏻♂️
My father's zoom 505 was handed down to me and it still works. Tuner is kinda busted though but i still use it, i like the general sound it produces
Hi Perfecto, this is a super cool video! I remember that 505 unit!!! So 90s... :)
I still have mine . Still love it!
I used to use one of these for church, usually straight into the mixer 🤣
I mostly used 3 patches which were slightly edited versions of the factory C1, C2 and C3 patches. Which was a crunchy tone,, a clean tone with light chorus, and a lead tone.
The basics of MultiFX 😊 great video sir! 😊☺️
What a throwback bro!!! I used to use a 505 and a 509 with a Morley aby switch and a 1010 in the FX loop!!
This was my first back in '98, then I got the 707. I wish I still had it honestly, you got me all nostalgic mate. 😂
I've been using that gadget in our church. Didn't have a manual for it and didn't know you can change the preset. Thanks Sir Perf!
Had this as well then upgraded to the zoom 8080. Loved both
I used to have one and I had the zoom FP01 expression pedal plugged into it for wah, harmonizer, whammy and volume. My setup was: A1 lead with wah, A2 metal with whammy, A3 lead with harmonizer and A4 lead with chorus & delay. I generally kept all other patches as is but did experiment with them in terms of what I could use the sounds for. The factory setting for F6 was acoustic but it didn't really sound like an acoustic guitar to me so I used it as a warmer clean tone when I wanted something nicer than bypassing to the amp by pressing the 2 pedals at the same time. The tuner in bypass was very handy.
I used to love that pedal! My first pedal effect was one of those and I loved it! ❤️🤘
I remember this pedal. My friend had it. I actually had the zoom 1010. Great times!
I've used this piece of effect and then shifted to the newer 505II after the 2020 fx is retired. I've used these effects to record my goregrind records. This piece of guitar effect is a gem to me... :)
I had this pedal! My friend had the bass version! Good video!
Oh man! I had this same one. That takes me back.
Parabéns pelo excelente vídeo, eu tenho uma 505II há mais de 10 anos e sigo em frente feliz com ela. Saudações do Brasil.
zoom 505 classic! had one around '98-2003. Nostalgic!
My first legitimate guitar multi-effects pedal that I bought from saving up was a Zoom G21.U, still being used today. Suits my needs, from RATM to Slayer. My uncle has the successor of that pedal, the Zoom 606,and is still functional today.
Was my first multi FX. Some of the distortions weren't bad. And I played live with it. Being able to play through any amp and get your sound was important.
Sir, ito yung kinaiiinggitan namin back in high school. When i got my first job, i bought an electric guitar, and a Zoom G1Xn. Pretty great effects pedal, donated it to church when I have to move out of the province. Great content Maestro!
I remember what I liked about this vs the boss stuff out at the time when you put that chorus on. It doesn't impart a ton of compression to the signal. The pitch shifter almost makes it worth the price in 2020!
I owned one, bought it when my Boss pedals were stolen and I needed a quick replacement. There always was a little hiss in the signal (even in bypass) that you couldn't get rid of, not even with the noise gate. But me and my bandmates were blown away at that time how good it sounded for the money, I've used it on a lot of gigs and even CD recording sessions. It also had a great preset that sounded a lot like steel drums, you should check if it's still on yours (otherwise it should be back if you'd do a factory reset). I've owned many Zoom multi fx through the years (the 9000 was my first one), but in my opinion, their latest G1X Four is their best one ever, I love it almost as much as my HX Stomp. The Zoom Multi Stomps are brilliant too.
Great Stuff !! Many Thanks !!
My first multi effects , also my first ever pedal lol! awesome channel bro!
Zoom 505, my first multi effect pedal! That was some 20 year ago.. then I upgraded to 707 II a few years later haha
Still have mine like new and stored in original box when not used, even still have the fold out instruction map (really its about 2 feet by 3 feet when unfolded) and original power cord, its killer still and has one of the best acoustic simulators around.
Nice, classic zoom! I just bought the red Korg G1 guitar processor months ago, tried it and my ears can’t bear the noise anymore lol 😂 it means I’ve gotten old, I used to love that especially Diamond Darrell is among the featured player back then.
i had the walkman-like zoom with the wired remote back in the early 90s. i loved that thing!
Yeah!I've still got that one but the input jack got screwed up and I need to get in there and solder it better.It had the million bees distortion sound like a Boss pedal !
If I remember it correctly this was my first multi-effects pedal. Really easy to use just plug and play (rambo kung rambo lol) and you can just bring it anywhere. I love how the modulations sounded. I had lots of great memories with this pedal just had to sold it because I bought a korg ax1500g.
Ael parehas tayo! First multifx pedal ko rin itong ginamit :)
Got my 505 back 1997. Still have to this day. Discovered cool sounds i could produced. I still remember buying it at musar in baguio city. 2500php.
Still got mine from '98 😁. Just discovered you tbh. Liked, saved and subbed 👍🏻🔥🤘🏻
Ive got a zoom606. Love the sounds from the device.
OMG!!! Used one way back in high school, my first multifx i bought with my money...use it almost everywhere when playing live with my high school band...but i didnt remember or know it has amp and cab sim...Is s nostalgic
i still have my old and trusty zoom 506 linked with a couple of some stomp boxes and a wah pedal for my bass, though i no longer use it. but it is still functional and 100% working.
I had one of those !!!! I used it for a few years !! This made me grin !!!! lol !!!
Haha the memories when you showed it. I shared a flat '97 - '98. I had a Zoom 1010 and the other guy had a 505
I still have my Zoom G1XNext...bought it 2007 and still rockin....
Im still using my 12years old Zoom G2 in our church service.
Though the "effect type" changer button is not working anymore, most of my existing patches works well
My first multi effects zoom 505. Hahaha. Happy to see that you used it before sir Perf.
I still have one in mint condish! When I watched you in Mayrics donning this only pedal in your set I was sold that I have to have one for myself.
Owned a silver one way back 2004, and a black one 6 years back,its amazing, not to mention, i did own a 606 ,g1xn and g2r. Gfx5 too. At different times.hehe
Zoom keeps getting better.
I still have my 707, straightforward and still awesome in a studio situation.
Bro Perf, meron din akong ganito nung late 90's tapos Zoom 504 naman pang acoustic noong early 2000s. This brings back a lot of good old memories. ang gaan dalhin. salamat sa pag feature nito. Thank you!
I love this pedal, only physical multi fx that I ever played with.
Glad to hear, I owned one years ago and just ordered one on ebay for old time sake
I owned one of these about 20-odd years ago and then upgraded to a Zoom 3000s. Both were great pedals at the time.
Makes me think of having my zoom 606 fixed 😁 although it was a hand-me-down in the early 2000s, it was a great tool for our small town gigs 👍
My first digital efx as well. Couldn’t go wrong with this.😎
Damn! That’s was my first and only multi effects pedal. I remember I got the blue one for Christmas. It was a fun pedal.
I've still got mine! Always liked the overdrive and 12-string effects. My sons won't let me take it back out to this day.
I totally had a 505!! I have two multistomps on my board currently!
Just came across your video. Good job. I bought a used (never used) Zoom 508 several years ago,
intending to try for a Shadows sound. Never did. Think I'll dust it off and go for it.
Yes I have zoom 505 until now. It’s perfect, seem brand new . I’m from Brazil.
This sounds a hell of a lot better than I remember!
38... Argh! Felt it too 🤣 this is a great vid, man. Brought back memories of the 90s.
I have my zoom g1 for 10 yrs. Its still my gagdet i use until today
505 was my first multi effects, followed by the 707. Loved them.
I have a Zoom 607 bass pedal I bought used from Facebook for 60$, love the thing to death! Looks so old-school
My local store stocked the 505 but I had them bring in the 2020... Ohhhhh yea! :)
Zoom g1xon since 2014 nice sounding effect sir specially for church rig
I owned a zoom 505 as well and a zoom g1x..best ever!!
I own a zoom606 and I still use it. Ito lang kasi afford ng budget. Rock what we have guys :)
I knew it. I also used this back in the days and i found ELESI effects only from this unit.
Got one for $40 in 1999. Pretty handy when I had to get sounds I wouldn't ordinarily use, the bypass is pretty good. Pulled it out of mothballs for a gig a few months ago where we were doing a lot of cheesy 80's covers, sounded better than I'd remembered. I've also used it at a festival gig where I didn't want to bring an amp and there was no back line. Worked pretty well for that, too, and saved a lot of grief.
I owned this exact one. Its easy to go back to the regular presets by accident, distortion tones weren't the best, and there was a delay on cutting the pedal to bypass....but good effects like tremolo, flange, and phasers. I would cut off the distortion and just use the effects. A2 was an awesome patch.
Nostalgia.. the late 90s and eerly 2000s.My friend gadt this,i used to go over his house and fool around with it all afternoon.🤣
Nice video, just got a 505II I hope it's can do all this but with better repeat
I have my zoom 707-1 since 1998 still working,and now i have a Boss Me-80
I use Zoom G2.1u. Great sound. I used it mostly in church ministry.
Your smile and laugh says it all
Perfdecastro nambawan 🤘🏻
Got mine xmas 1997. Loved it! Sadly not working anymore.
I had one in 1998 after reading a review in The Guitar Magazine !! Also the expression pedal, honestly don't remember ever actually using it !!!
Still have one. Just started using it again!
I wish I'd never sold mine, my main complaint was battery life and noise, but man did it have some serious headroom for gigs, my most favorite sound was the blues overdrive, I used a remote bank switch too, I bought mine when they first came out for £99 with my £100 Christmas bonus,
Great memories of gigs with my boogie 22+, thanks great video
Love that good laugh sir perf... 😊
