ms-60b vs. ms-70cdr

[Mk90]

I have a small pedalboard with core sounds produced with SA C4 and the Ultrawave. This provides me with compression, eq, dirt, octaves, filters and synth sounds. These sounds create 95% of the sounds I use. The last 5% in couple of bands there are a few songs that also require some modulation. I would like to add a single pedal for modulation needs and some delay/reverb stuff to liven up the (lead) synth sounds.

The ms-70 seems to fit the bill exactly, but the ms-60 seems to fill the same space plus some extra. All that extra pretty much overlaps what I already have. I do feel like the ms-60 would still be the right choice to future proof some patch ideas just because of the potential versatility, but I would still like some opinions. Are there any clear upsides in getting the ms-70 over the ms-60 besides the stereo i/o and extra reverd/delay/modulation engines?

Most if not all of the effects in the 70CDR can be accessed in the 60B, I believe one of the main upsides of having a 70CDR would be that you can use six effect blocks per preset where as in the 60B you can only use four.

I say only four, but there is plenty you can do with just the four blocks. I use an Ms60B in my rig to fill all the holes of effects I don't have, and it works wonderfully for that

I have both and use the MS60B on my pedal boards for modulation, reverb and delays and a few other creations. I use the CDR70 for guitar, piccolo and synth especially when I want stereo effects.
I find that the MS60B even though it may run only 4 effects to be plenty and also to my ear the effects are rendered better for the fuller range of bass.



Tonelib.zoom is a free program that makes programming very easy.

If you update the MS70CDR with the bass module then they are essentially the same, but with stereo input.

Do you run any setero FX or parallel signal chain?
