I own a Mooer Preamp Live but I have a friend who is about to tour and he wants to tour with it and he will likely buy it. Since I dont have a band I was thinking in getting a boss IR-2 because it has Soldano and a good "Turbo modded" JCM800 but Valeton Gp50 has more options since it's nam based

Hey community,

I’ve built a toolchain for developing custom effects for the MS-70CDR pedal series. At this point, the pedals can basically be treated as an open-source coding platform. Right now I’m porting Chris Johnson’s Airwindows plugins step by step.

“Stereo Chorus” is already up and running, sounding flawless so far.

If you want to contribute ports or simply download and use the FX, check out the GitHub repo:

https://github.com/repeat98/ZoomMultistompZDL

Custom ZDL support will be coming with the Zoom Effect Manager 2.3.3 update.
Spread the word, so we get more developers on board to make more FX.

Also, if you have suggestions for effects you’d like to see, leave them in the comments.

Cheers,
J

I am a week into using this pedal.

After some shopping around I got this pedal to try to solve two problems:

1. I've been wanting a lighterweight headphone playing solution than my Roland Cube 30, so I can more easily hideaway my stuff when toddlers are awake and roaming.
2. I am likely going to start playing guitar for my small PCA church that has an old building and plays a combination of traditional and contemporary hymns (more indie folky than the megachurch worship sound). They don't have the band very loud and use an electric drum kit, so I wanted an entry point into IRs and straight to DI guitar playing.

This is my first amp pedal and my only other experience with amp sims are things like UA's free showtime 64 plugin and my old school Roland Cube amp models.

I got it for like $129 on Amazon so it was by far the cheapest thing that does this I could find.

My initial impressions are:

• I think it sound really good once dialed in! I am using the Jensen IR pack it offers as a download and York's free IRs. I am trying to use the larger speaker types to get bigger warmer sound. I like being able to adjust tone and amp settings but also tweak some IR things like output and high and low as well. I also really like how I can add an EQ or (not and) a Noise Gate at the end of my chain before I go into a DI.
• Works well with headphones, but it really became fun when I ran it in stereo into my studio monitors.
• I am hoping to set it and forget it, but I having the ability to switch settings with a foot tap is cool.
• The knobs are really hard to turn for my large hands, that is a pain point, and honestly almost everything about editing settings is very annoying and painful
• The app works and is better than nothing, but it is also not great and has some very annoying quirks. (But as someone who has designed apps for living for 10+ years I know making a good app is VERY hard, so I am happy it works at all).

I am really curious if anyone else is experimenting with this pedal. I debated returning it because of how hard it is to use. But since it sounds really good with some tweaking and it is way cheaper than almost any comparable option, I am going to stick with it for a while and try to make it work!
