Just bought mine a week ago and took that plastic off when I got it too, I would have done it as a kid when I bought it. But definitely gotta appreciate they've been preserved for so long.
Dave,s room is like a Tardis full of musical surprises and amazing guitar playing as always,loved you're smile when you started playing Dave,you rediscovered you're old pal again The Mighty Zoom 606 and together you both had a great reunion
I remember having a 707. It was sturdier than it looked, but not sturdy enough to survive the curiosity of people who had been drinking for 3 days. Or maybe it is, we never could remember where it ended up.
Blast from the past 😊 I still have my 505 and a few years ago my neighbor gave me his old 4040 which has (I think) 4 banks, 4 presets and a pedal. Weird how something I couldn't afford back then and was drooling over infront of the music store window is now only worth €25 or so. But it's a LOT of fun for €25!
Thank you for posting this man; there's not much to find about it here on UA-cam. My dad gave it to me as a birthday gift last July. It's my first guitar pedal. He bought it from a shop that sells old musical products and instruments from Japan. I'm just glad that you spent your time to share it to everybody here. Lots of love and support from the Philippines! Keep on rocking 🤘
Sounds GLORIOUS! 🌹 I used to own the first Zoom 505 multi effects processor back in 1993.. first pedal I ever owned, ripped my face off at the time...just gave it away a year ago to a 16 yr Ol kid that bought my Fender FM212R as a kicker....hope he enjoys it as much as I did..🙂
I can’t play guitar, I never learned, but it’s a really enjoying time when I watch your videos. My 16 years old son is starting to play guitar and I always show him your videos cause you are a very inspiring person. The best guitar player on UA-cam. Keep always playing please. Greetings from Ecuador.
Very good! I am glad you are using it, I have taken my silver one out after 21 years! ... yes, I am old (in age) - still a rocker at heart! Just exercising my Pentatonic scale, getting there again and LOVE it! My retirement will be in music... and maybe something else too... I am going to copy that settings, I love it!
Thanks for this. I'm not a pedal person, however, I just bought a 606 for fun. You inspired me to experiment with the sounds and store some interesting stuff.
You've inspired me to buy a new adapter for my 606 and get programming. I never bothered when I bought it, just used the presets. I had no idea you could get such good sounds out of it! Also, your playing is just brilliant dude.
Thanks to Dave and his love for Zoom products, I went out and bought a G1X-Four. It's my first multi-effects unit and I'm still getting used to it. So far though (especially for the money) it's really good.
Had loads of zoom multi effects the Disnortions always stood out for me, have been using the G1 four very impressive for the money jimi Woodstock run kinda Spanish sounding you nailed it lad 😉😉😉😉
Back in those days of circa 2002-3 I was using a Zoom GFX-8 which I loved! Used the Zoom 2100 before that lol. Then switched to the Boss GT-8 which I thought was incredible in about 2004-5. Ahh the memories haha.
Zoom 505 was my first multi fx.. l remember getting great distortion sounds mind you if l still had the 505 l would probably cringe at what they sound like now! I can't say I remember the 606 you managed to get decent sounds and an emotional response when hearing them back. Look how far your guitar playing has evolved since 2004! Zoom G11 is the latest offering Dave l reckon this will be finding its way to Louth very soon!☺... Super vid thanks Dave.
Refreshing to see someone using down to earth gear on UA-cam. Sounds great to me. Are there better distortion sounds out there - nope.... just different distortion sounds... and this is yours.
I’ve got a zoom G1xon. Gets the job done especially moving from beginner stages on guitar. Always thought that it’s almost like a preview for the type of tones you want to have and can build from there. Great vid
This is a good reminder that my Boss GT1 should be very much enough. I struggle to stop complaining about it, but in truth is just a sign I suck at guitar and should get better at it :)
Played a gig on short notice with this today. Dug it out, dusted it and straight to the venue. It all went great. It has a filter effect on board that sounds just like the effect at the end of the solo of the solo of Audioslave’s Show Me How to Live.
Wow! Thank you. I was trying to think about why I'm drawn more to your channel than any others - and there are some good ones out there. I couldn't tie it down - nor did I want to really, happy to just 'let it be so'. But, if I was to say anything, it's partly because there are so many things going on in the videos. I guess I'm saying there's something for everyone, and as little or as much as you want to take. Fantastic playing, loads of interesting technical stuff and detail, lots to learn and take forward, challenging and much, much more. But if I was to distil it for me, it's all of that, but with the added dimension of how you deliver it, your infectious enthusiasm and that really, really special way you provide personal context. You just don't find that with other people. I'm sure this sounds a bit cheesy, but it's sincere. Just wanted a fuller way to say 'thank you'. p.s. I'm thinking of selling the telly ..... don't need it no more, so long as you keep making these. Cheers.
I still use this thing after 18 years, proudly i might add lol got mine in 2003 as well after playing guitar about a year or so. Still functions pretty well lol Zoom doesn't get enough credit for their products.
I love your playing; you sound amazing, and I have no idea why the music charts are full of tatt, and someone who plays like you should be up there. Really enjoyable. I hope I get to play as well as you. That would make me so happy.
We should try and get you a guest spot on TPS playing this thing :) Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I had one of those when I was a teenager. Wonder what happened to it...
Haha... I liked this a lot. Never had a 606 myself, but I owned a 707 sometime back in '99, and then later a (sadly almost never used) G7.1ut that's currently gathering dust behind me. I have a few of the mid-90's ones too, like the 8080, 4040, the legendary 9002 and the weird 7010 with a small built-in speaker. If I'm brutally honest, I never really bought any of these oldies to really use them. I just wanted to own them because they´re fascinating, cool and could be fun to explore. Yeah, I know.... they probably belong in the hands of someone who actually uses them... * hangs head in shame * Currently I'm using the small and very inexpensive G1Xon and actually managed to dial in a decent distorted Marshall sound through my monitors while watching your video. It's a nice little unit, but a bit limited with only five available slots for amp sim and effects. Some effects are cpu hungry, which then reduces the number of simultaneous effects to less than five, but it's usually enough for a decent basic sound, and I think it sounds pretty good. I plan to bring out the bigger and more capable G5 soon (old 2012 silver model) and re-program some of the G1 sounds there. It should, without a doubt, improve things. Thanks for showing us your trusty old 606. :)
So I'm not the only one that heard Maggot Brain in that mix. Right on! I got to hear it live just before I went in the military many Many moons ago. Was Parliament/Funkadelic and Maze in Detroit.
Right on. Never can get enough of Maggot Brain if ya ask me. I would venture to guess that you know the story behind Maggot Brain? Eddie Hazel was one the most under rated guitarist to ever take to the stage.
@@RythmicIntentions Yeh, it's a solo that does cover a huge scope of emotions that you may feel at a time of loss, very expressive guitarist. One of my own fav versions is the one on Natternet Channel - Buckethead (with Lili Haydn & Praxis). Does it justice I think. I personally cant get enough of the Praxis Buckethead stuff. 🤘from Scotland
I have seen the Buckethead version and I agree, they really do justice to the tune. There is another version you might want to check out. It's just some dude hanging out in his dark house jamming. You can hear the anguish. If I can find it in my boiokmarks I will shoot the link to ya if you would like it? @@soundssimple1
Hmm -still pondering how to use my Mooer GE 100 - maybe I should just box it up and send it to you to set up and demo ? :) . This old dog is definitely struggling to learn new tricks !
@@johnleach7774 download the latest one, hopefully. usually the stuff in the box has stuff that's not exactly the best or even right, anyhow. If Zoom gives a crap they'll update it from time to time or at least have improved it few versions worth before freezing it.
Zoom multi effects guitar pedals are what I started on... I think they were budget at the time but hold up suprisingly well today so they must have done something right.
I found that loop station bit more inspiring than Gilmour to tell you the truth, which I watched just before this. It's funny what the perception of hype does. Banged on the old GT5 for six months this year, plugged into two 3watt Fly amps in stereo, and had a great time, not much low end though. Recon the Boss Katana has a few decades of tricks in it also. Takes a loop station in effects loop to, so awesome bit of kit. It's worth keeping the old stuff for fun sake.
On UA-cam the drive sounds on that Zoom, are pretty good.. My experience with Multi effects is that when it comes to Overdrive sounds, they are quite convincing especially the GT1(Boss) . Actually most of the time, no one can tell if I am using the Boss Gt1 or other pedals like the JackerHammer(That you also love and own), Mad Professor or Joyo Vintage overdrive.. Also as Johnny Marr said about the GT100 (Which is the bigger sized with more patches version) it ables you to have amp emulation at your feet.. However as far as the modulation effects are concerned, they don't have as much clarity and definition as the analog or stand alone pedals.. However the recent GT1000 and Helix could be game changers with the faster chips and sampling rates they have.
I remember my Zoom 505 like it was yesterday. Did it do anything particularly "great"? Not really, but it did do just about everything. Was my first venture into my love of dotted 8th's delay. Cheers Dave!
Dave certainly does his level best, but I think the overall vibe is "lowfi and broken". Probably not the greatest sounding pedal ever. I had one. And this video does a great job of communicating the available "palette" of tones. Wall O Mud. AM Radio. Trapped in Cardboard Box and Can't Get Out. You know. The classics.
Actually, its not being "trapped" by the sound. You are supposed to think outside the box while using what you have. I'm sure Eric Clapton was "trapped" with what he had? No, he used what he had to get the sounds he wanted. Be it modified, but mainly he used what he had. Those tones are amazing. I don't even have that.
Well, although I had already figured as much, now I can fully realize I can't blame my equipment for my mediocre guitar playing. :-( Thanks, Dave! ;-) Though I still wish I had just bought a Boss ME-80 in the first place, why?, no overuse of scrolling menus.
That weird noise was probably your neighbour blowing his brains out... Thought he'd broken that pedal years ago, but NO!!!!!!! All that programming would drive me nuts, but I'm indecisive. I think. I bought a rack mounting Zoom multi FX for recording in the 90s, mainly for the incredible array of reverbs. Rotary controls, rather than stabby buttons thankfully. Still have it. Haven't plugged it in in the last 20 years... Tempted... p.s., glad to see you've cheered up. Nobody fakes Gibson era Epiphones using Epiphone parts. Believe me, I'm the world's worst businessman and even I can see the flaw in that plan. Enjoy your good fortune.
I have a 606 i purchased when purchased my new Marshall Mode 4 MF350 in 2000. The 606 has served me well for nearly 21 years but it is now a bit weary. So i got a new G1 Four.....and am so far disappointed with it. Makes me dread the possibility that my 606 may at some point work no more.
Did you read the manual for the G1? Many people don't, and base their discontent solely on the preprogrammed patches. Doesn't matter if its 1993 or 2033, you need to read the manuals and learn how to create your own sounds.... but whatever floats your boat.............
@@socialdef3 things have changed since my last comment. I have found more Zoom 606 pedals on Reverb and bought them. So thats a relief to have more 606 pedals to fall back on. Secondly i ran my G1 thru the effects loop of my Marshall rather than in front and got a much better result from the G1.
BTW, sorry to bring up that old Zoom G3X of mine again. Now I just don't bother using anything other than nothing, Boss clean, and the Fender Combo (twin reverb) amp models for clean tones and none of the other 21 amp models for anything. For me, when you treat the unit as a large collection of stomp box effects only, it seems to be much more useful coming from and going into just clean tones. Afterall, there are over 90 of them and it sounds good without modeling.
If you have to add the zoom 606 to your pedalboard... it has to be done with some splitter pedal alone or you have a way to combine it with the other pedals?
@@thedavesimpson I remember playing with the suboctaver and delay for massive orchestral sounds, but i don't know if i can use the octaver to simulate a bass in 2022... i love it anyways :)
Hi Dave. I know this might sound kind of crazy but I want to ask you if you could try a bass through your Orange cr 120 amp, I know some guys use that amp like that, but there aren't many videos to prove it. Cheers!
dave have you ever used a boss me 80? if so whats your thoughts ? ive just picked up a 2nd hand 1 but im new to multi fx . not to sure if they are actually any good or not
Fellow 606 owner over here! Dusting off the old thing and finally peeled off the little round plastic from the display after nearly 20 years! 😁
Just bought mine a week ago and took that plastic off when I got it too, I would have done it as a kid when I bought it. But definitely gotta appreciate they've been preserved for so long.
I think I finally did that after... yeah 15 years?... 😂
Now i can honestly say that i listened to Classic Dave
Dave ja vue was already taken
Dave Simpson, one of the last "standing" guitarists on youtube👍🏼
the world can stand still when hes behind the guitar
I bought a Zoom 9000 in 1994, and many years after I bought this pedal. Later I bought a used Roland GT-100, which I also still have. 😁
My first ever guitar pedal was a 505. Saved up £90 for it working in Woolies... happy days.
Makes me happy reading about those happy days for some reason - Woolies! Having to save up! Jumpers for goalposts...

Enjoyed the jam
Buying one tommorow I like to have the various sound options
Looking forward to experimenting 😊
I just recently got a Zoom G1x four and really like it. Watching you in this video revisiting the 606 was delightful! "Oh, I love Zoom pedals!"
You’re getting some great sounds out of that pedal, very cool video!
The Peddle is sweet, and I really enjoy watching and hearing you play :)
Wonderful Sounds great!!!! Thanks!!!
Ah yes a cracking bit of content on to greet me after getting home from school.

Dude! I found mine (still with the box) a year ago, and I was blown away by how good it sounded.
Thanks for the window into your classic tone lol, Love you Dave!
Hi Dave .... crikey I had a Zoom 505 back in 1996 , they are ancient but very good .... I loved the effects on that little thing . Great vid 👌
Thanks for this video, you made me appreciate my 606 a lot more than i used to do lol
I still have a 505 I got well over 20 years ago and it still works well. Havnt used it in years but I still have it
That bit near the end was a trip. Wackiness abounds!

Exactly! ...most channels are just commercials for new gear I don't need aha.
Dave that pedal sounds like the zoom gfx4 really nice rhythm and delay sounds..loved the vid...thanks
Gotta love the Zoom pedals, best "bang for the buck" for sure! Mine may not be a roman wall, but it does have "scroll" ; )
I’ve got a zoom G1xon. Gets the job done especially moving from beginner stages on guitar. Always thought that it’s almost like a preview for the type of tones you want to have and can build from there. Great vid
It's quite good really
I love zoom stuff since the 90s my first effects unit was a zoom 1201,magic
I started playing on the 505...and literally mastered all the sounds
Thanks
I bought mine in 2000. I’ve used it regularly since. It still works perfectly 😎
This is a good reminder that my Boss GT1 should be very much enough. I struggle to stop complaining about it, but in truth is just a sign I suck at guitar and should get better at it :)
Played a gig on short notice with this today. Dug it out, dusted it and straight to the venue. It all went great. It has a filter effect on board that sounds just like the effect at the end of the solo of the solo of Audioslave’s Show Me How to Live.
Not surprising it affects you Dave, memories and the passing of time. Nothing wrong with your playing either, thanks for the video.
Did you ever imagine these days in 2004 with your new zoom 606 :) Sounds awesome!!
Dave I don't think you realise how talented you are. maybe you could record some lesson/tips for the rest of us mere mortals
Had a 505 for yonks,got a 2100 in 97 and on top of my 50ish pedals I got G1Xon. a few yrs ago.I never fuck with the parameters.Its a top product!

Haven't plugged it in in the last 20 years... Tempted... p.s., glad to see you've cheered up. Nobody fakes Gibson era Epiphones using Epiphone parts. Believe me, I'm the world's worst businessman and even I can see the flaw in that plan. Enjoy your good fortune.
I always like to play guitar with a bit of a byoost! ;)
I have a 606 i purchased when purchased my new Marshall Mode 4 MF350 in 2000. The 606 has served me well for nearly 21 years but it is now a bit weary. So i got a new G1 Four.....and am so far disappointed with it. Makes me dread the possibility that my 606 may at some point work no more.
Did you read the manual for the G1? Many people don't, and base their discontent solely on the preprogrammed patches. Doesn't matter if its 1993 or 2033, you need to read the manuals and learn how to create your own sounds.... but whatever floats your boat.............
@@socialdef3 things have changed since my last comment. I have found more Zoom 606 pedals on Reverb and bought them. So thats a relief to have more 606 pedals to fall back on. Secondly i ran my G1 thru the effects loop of my Marshall rather than in front and got a much better result from the G1.
2004 was obviously not a bad year! :-)
Could you please tell me the exact levels of settings for the distortion tone you used at 35:30
I've got 2 of the grey 506Bass pedals a gfx1 and a ps02 aha
What was the black one, that was slightly larger, with a rectangular LCD screen? Was it the 707? Whatever it was I had one of those.
According to an ad in guitar World 2002, coincidentally with John Frusciante on the cover, its an 707II, rrp £149.95,
Someone who knows and sussed out a pedal I had that just confused the hell out of me
They are ace
Dave, give the switches and jack plugs a quick spray with Servisol Super 10, and I bet you a pound to a pinch of s**t it'll quieten it all down.
BTW, sorry to bring up that old Zoom G3X of mine again. Now I just don't bother using anything other than nothing, Boss clean, and the Fender Combo (twin reverb) amp models for clean tones and none of the other 21 amp models for anything. For me, when you treat the unit as a large collection of stomp box effects only, it seems to be much more useful coming from and going into just clean tones. Afterall, there are over 90 of them and it sounds good without modeling.
I try and live life like its still 2004 anyway 😅
The new one is in league with the helix maybe you have seen it G-11
Gostaria muito de entender o que ele fala, até porque ele é um excelente guitarrista, adoraria entender sobre tudo que ele expõe nos vídeos. 😥
If you have to add the zoom 606 to your pedalboard... it has to be done with some splitter pedal alone or you have a way to combine it with the other pedals?
I'd combine it. It plays very nicely with others. :)
@@thedavesimpson I remember playing with the suboctaver and delay for massive orchestral sounds, but i don't know if i can use the octaver to simulate a bass in 2022... i love it anyways :)
Hi Dave. I know this might sound kind of crazy but I want to ask you if you could try a bass through your Orange cr 120 amp, I know some guys use that amp like that, but there aren't many videos to prove it. Cheers!
I'll try one day.
@@thedavesimpson Thanx man, you rock!
Where is the tutorial?????? I’ve no idea how to set this pedal up
dave have you ever used a boss me 80? if so whats your thoughts ? ive just picked up a 2nd hand 1 but im new to multi fx . not to sure if they are actually any good or not
I've never tried one. Sorry.
@@thedavesimpson ok thanks for the reply i shall just have to wait and see :)
Dave, why did you even buy all the other stuff. LOL Money thrown away I should almost say,isn't it. This thing playes great.
Hey man wahts is much greater tone of the two..tone the 606 or g2 1u?
