Basic MS-70CDR Tutorial
The Zoom MS-70CDR is a multieffects pedal with a massive variety of features, but it can be a little daunting at first. I created this tutorial to help walk through the most basic functions of the pedal, including navigation, chain creation, and parameter manipulation. I hope this helps someone out there to get started with this awesome little pedal! Enjoy the video :)

Two tips that help me...1. Turn off autosave, this keeps your favourite chains intact after you've messed about with the parameters. If you like the results of your parameter changes, you can choose to save the chain when desired. 2. Using an empty save slot, create an 'init' chain, without any effects added, (ie a named, but empty chain) and use this one as your go-to chain every time you want to set up a new one-off chain that you don't intend to keep. That way you'll always have a slot free for playtime! :-)

Great tips, thanks!

How do you turn autosave off?

@treeface5000 Год назад

@@MeneTekelUpharsin Go to Menu, (press the first knob down), then choose Settings, and then AutoSave (on/off) should be the last option :-)

@drangduewel Год назад

First thing I did was clear all the effect chains on the device. When you have a completely clean device everything is much easier to understand.

@FreeBeat Год назад

That's a great tip if you already have an idea of what you're after :) This was more for folks who just wanted to use it straight away. Thanks!

Thanks for this tutorial! I borrowed an MS-50G from a friend and was pretty lost when I tried messing around with it. I wasn't having much luck finding something that covered just the basics of getting started using one of these pedals until I found your video.

I use a MIDI switching pedal - DOREMIDI - to cycle through patches on the fly, rather than reaching down to fiddle the buttons. It also powers the pedal so on a gig I only need the right leads and a USB power supply.

This is on my list, my buying habits are weirs, if I can afford an new module, I look for that, around $600 if I have enough for some pedals I go onto Amazon and get as many different ones as I can, I mostly use them as a starter project, it’s fun to me any, but some these inexpensive pedals sound great all ready! Have a great mini tour! One more thing is like Lore and Fable are more synths than effects, the hologram suite is a must have as well, but I still get inexpensive ones to compare and use as a basis for a mod. I’ve also been known to break em down and make a eurorack of them. When I have a successful mod, I immediately buy it again, I’ve used thr same pedal 3 times doing this! It saves a lot of money compared to buying th parts..Most of mine are didital, IAm not a n analog snob! Great video, and this is one I could make any better, and it’s not exactly price friendly to experiment with it.

@rexcellencemagee6729 Год назад

Great video! Stereo is extremely important! As I posted on yesterday’s, you can run two different effect chains into different sources, in my case amps. I mentioned I can have the left side with a Dreadbox lethargy and the right with the Dreadbox krobli and connect the envelopes so you get both on each side but one is more prominent on each side, an autopingpong if you will! peace! I’d like to point out the effect’s change your synth into something else, it is like buying a whole new synth!

@FreeBeat Год назад

Thanks awesome, thanks as always!

@jamisondonald384 Год назад

I love this pedal. I have it permanently hooked to the aux outs of my mixer. It's easily hackable to use distortion and most anything else from the guitar- and bass-specific versions of the pedal. Also, despite the form factor, I can't imagine this as anything other than a tabletop unit.

Thank you for video, this is the best i found, easy way explanations and really clear! Can i ask u one thing (im beginner so forgive me), for a synth poly so stereo, we need at least 4 cables 6.3 for 1 synth? 2 cables from audiointerface in pedal and 2 cables from synth into pedal, its correct?

@myreviewdotcom Год назад

Zoom G1X and G1 Four had less menu diving and scrolling as you can see the full chain on it's display and alter them with knobs right near. I chose G1 as it is more immediate but a bit less functionality for sure.

@neilcarlonolasco1813 4 месяца назад

Zoom ms series is quite good. I use the ms60b ( for bass ) and yeah that's the problem when you want to adjust or change effects, you'll have to bend and reach for it. But fortunately, we found a solution for it. The power of DIY 😂

I'm honestly not sure. I Googled it, but all I could find is that the 70 has stereo ins and outs whereas the 50 doesn't, but the 50 has more effects? Sorry I couldn't be more help haha.

@simonmcg23 Год назад

Hi thanks for breaking it down. I’m a bit confused with my peddle though. I understand how you can use the foot switch to turn an individual effect on an off but I can’t work out how to use the foot switch to turn the *whole* chain off so that the pedal is completely bypassed.

@FreeBeat Год назад

I believe you could insert a line selector into your chain and then disable that? Not 100% sure though.

@jamisondonald384 Год назад

Line selector is how, yeah. You put it in front of whatever pedals you want to switch on and off at the same time. You can have things before it in the chain that will remain active, if you wish

@unclemick-synths 4 месяца назад

It's a convention with stomp boxes. Apparently it's because most guitarists are right-handed so the lead would get in the way if it crossed in front of the player to go into the left side of the pedal.

@grandmasterjo1 Год назад

Thanks 🙏 it did help a lot. It took ur tutorial to realise I had to insert the jack to get power 🤪😜🤪 I now look forward to making my own presets as I have the MF I intend to put two separate inputs for LR L for micro freak R for Volca FM 2 I plan to use both the synths one at a time Will I get a LR out from the MS for each synth Or will I get L in L out R in R out OR L in LR out R in LR out Please assist Thanks 🙏 in advance

@FreeBeat Год назад

I believe you'll just get a mono out for each side, but I could be wrong. Thanks for watching!

@@FreeBeat I did try. I put in the MF and Korg Kaoss as inputs. The LR outs into the speakers. When I clicked the Delay PP on the pedal I did get a ping pong separation If that says anything 😊

@SexyNinjaMonkey Год назад

One thing the Ms70 does have over a standard pedalboard is the ability to rearrange the chain with minimal effort. I was missing that so I got a Patchulator 8000 which is a pedalboard patchbay that gives me back that ability... Only thing missing is patch saving, but that can be a benefit when you occasionally find a completely new sound while trying to dial in something you used before.

@FuZZbaLLbee Год назад

I have been eyeing the DF audio minibay for that same purpose. But do really like the way the Patchulator looks 🙂

@SexyNinjaMonkey Год назад

@@FuZZbaLLbee The patchulator is great if you only run one synth at a time through a pedalboard and just want to rearrange the chain, the minibay looks like it would be great if you want to switch which synth is using which pedals.

@FreeBeat Год назад

Yeah I love how easy it is!

@dyspatcher Год назад

I guess I'm not the first to say this but now you need to find the youtube video that tells you how to follow an easy hack so you can load all of the other zoom effects onto it from their other pedals so you can have access to distortion/overdrive and loads of others :)

@dlinnoedlinnoe Год назад

Great pedal, superb effects. The only really really bad thing about it is that it doesn't have a headphone output. That is, the configuration with it is never complete, it always requires something else. When you're in a studio or recording a video, you don't notice that. But if you just want to use it for effects for some synth, it turns out that synth+this pedal is just not enough - you really need yet another device. That's a real shame.

@FreeBeat Год назад

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a guitar/bass pedal with a headphone out! That would be pretty neat actually haha.
