Was after something to put in the effects loop of the Supergo+, hence the M5 Wanted ad in the classifieds.
I realised I probably wanted the ability to stack effects and obviously an M9 is too big (M5 probably would be too, tbh) so came round to the idea of one of the hackable ZOOMs. I thought about the G1on which can apparently run a lot of the same effects, but it's also pretty big.
I kept an eye out for non-+ MS pedals, was thinking of grabbing a MS50, but then a mint MS70 appeared with pretty good BIN price so I jumped on it.
Early observations:
Being able to load different effects with the effects manager is brilliant, having dirt etc. makes this an excellent choice for what I need.
The user interface is not nearly as intuitive as the MS70+ but that might change with experience. I'd like to be able to cycle sideways through effects in a patch with my toes, like I can on the MS70+, but it's not easy. I might look at fabricating caps for the buttons somehow.
It seems to run out of processing power MUCH sooner than the MS70+. I was a little shocked/disappointed at the things it can't do. But it can still do loads, I probably need to be more honest about how many effects I actually need at once.
The way the Superego+ has a mode that only selects the effect loop (without frozen sound) is suddenly super useful. Wish there was a way of switching easily between that and Latch mode as they're where I imagine I will spend my time.
Also wish there was such a thing as a stereo Superego with a stereo effects loop. A Supergo + +?
The M13 is a little neglected these last few sessions. Spending a lot of time on that central column of EHX and ZOOM.
A friend wants me to play guitar on some of his stuff, says he wants texture. Reckon that board has more than a couple
