Good day! I'm Tom Carlo Tan from Naga City, Philippines, and I proudly present to you a great tool to go with your Zoom MS70! Soon you don't have
to be limited to access only a few patches in your device; your tap tempo problems will be solved, and a patch bypass!
Here are some features:
- Scroll up or down through all the 50 patches available in the gadget memory. This is done either 1-patch-1-press or hold to scroll continuously.
- Create a faux-bypass function which you could use from any patch. As i understand correctly, the Zoom MS 70 doesn't have a patch bypass. However, other people get through this by using the line selector effect, however, at the cost of consuming valuable effects slots usable in a patch. My approach is to use the last patch in the memory as the bypass patch and call it anytime you need a clean guitar signal. You can either prepare the last patch (Patch 50) to have no effect, or even set a default tone/patch that you can call anytime. In the video, the bypass mode is indicated by a '00' in the display.
- Instant tuner mode. You can engage the tuner anytime. This is very handy when you have set the long press function of the Zoom unit to engage the Tap tempo feature: this is how I set up my unit. Basically the footswitch of my Zoom unit is used for Tapping in my delays. So convenient! This function is indicated by the '0t' display.
- Bank Mode. My build allows for a nifty bank mode, where you have the access to 4 patches at a press of a switch.[/b] All four switches correspond to 4 memory locations in the Zoom unit itself. There are 12 banks; Bank 1 has patches 1 to 4 accessible via each switch, Bank 2 has 5 to 8, Bank 3 ha 9 to 12, and so on. You can also choose weather to display either the Bank number or the Patch number when in bank mode. Bank number display is indicated by the small point near the 1st digit display.
- User assignable banks! The new version now have user assignable banks, so you could have any of the 50 memory patches assigned to the 4 switches.
- Persistent Memory. One big improvement from my initial build is the ability to resume to the previous operation even after the power is unplugged. Features like the last Bank/State used, the last Patch called, and the display mode is saved and is restored when the unit is powered once more.
