i was about to buy a fender pt-100 tuner pedal, but happened to look into my local classifieds and saw a ZOOM 506 Mk II Bass Multieffects Processor for about the same price. that made me wonder if i should just go for the zoom which would give me the tuner and some chorus, flanger, phaser, delay which i would hardly be ever really using so i just cant justify spending so much over it at the same time by getting single pedals of each 
i have a boss geb-7 bass eq, polish love overdrive on my board and a sansamp VT bass on its way. another thing, here in my country bass effects are hard to find and expensive.

If you can get any confirmation that the 506 is any better than the 607 than maybe you have a different story, but as it is, I say you are crazy. |

|  | that video LIES | | Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Northern California | | | I've had the 506- not bad tones, decent & very handy tuner, slightly flimsy plastic construction. The B2.1u stomps it's cookies, both in build quality & sound(s). For actual live use I wouldn't recommend the older Zoom stuff.

It can be used as a proper tuner but make sure it's not in your general signal path, for it eats your signal like crazy even when bypassed. |
