Zoom MS-60B announced... at last

Please give your thoughts on your practice? Don't know that I could do this as an only pedal, but the thought is very attractive.
For practice this worked very well. Some patches needed level adjustments, but other than that, the patches worked great. We're a blues/rock cover band, and I found myself using a slightly adjusted version of the Rock SVT factory patch quite a lot. My TC Electronic BH250 amp didn't seem to need the use of its EQ, which was a bit of a surprise.

I missed a couple of pedals, though. Not the sound, but the ability to switch them on and off. I think my pedal board needs a revision.
 
I've been running mine off an isolated 400ma supply. I noticed some digital noise when recording with it. Gonna try using a 1, 000+ ma supply next. The sounds are decent in many of the effects modules, but that digital sounding noise is no bueno for studio use!
 
I'm not sure there's a way to do this and apologies if it has been covered, but here goes...

Say I want to use the same patch (ex. Snow White AW) during 2 passages in the same song, is there a way for me to do it other than setting up 5 patches in a "clean/SW/clean/SW/clean" sequence ?

I'm a little confused by your question. Do you basically want a the same patch for two parts and then a bypassed sound for the rest? If so you could have SW/empty and go back and forth, or you could set the tuner to not mute and kick the tuner on for the bypassed parts. If you just want to alternate between a clean patch and SW, just have clean as "A" and SW as "B."

Two ways. As already mentioned, if you only set two slots, A for bypass and B for your SW, this will do the trick because in the alphabet slot select mode the footswitch will just loop between the two, effectively making an on/off switch.

The other way is to skip the A/B assignments and just have the patch with a Line Selector in front. This is assuming your SW patch has 3 pedals or less and you have a fourth slot for the Line Selector. It can be used to turn off anything that comes after it in the effect chain, so in the first slot it will be an on/off switch for the whole patch. I do this with my fuzz preset so I can stomp it on and off all throughout a song. I use the dial to get to the preset, exit out of the index list so I'm at the patch itself, and leave the Line Selector on the screen.
 
Thx for the replies. I'll toy around with it a little later today, 'cause I gots to do real interesting stuff like mowing the lawn... yay.

Other question: I'm not sure how this happened, but I seem to have desactivated the factory reggae patch, although its still there.

Does anyone have the factory settings on this patch ? I think it has SVT, detune and octave in it.
 
What do you mean deactivated though it's still there? The patch still has the name Reggae but there are no pedal models in there?

EDIT: btw, below is a link to a pdf of all the factory presets

Thx for the link, it's exactly what I was looking for.
As for "deactivated": I see the patch in the menu, but it sounds like only the detune effect is working, so it sounds like a chorus and not at all like the deep bass tone I was getting before. I don't recall changing the settings in that patch, but I've had a few accidental mods to my own patches, so it has to be my ****-up.
