Original Amp Models
Zoom has developed original amp models including:
- Krampus Drive: Combines the brightness of an 80s British preamp with the solid low end of a modern high-gain amplifier
- Redloom Drive: Fuses the simple tone of early amps with the rich harmonics of a 60s tube amp, perfect for rhythm guitar
- Velvet Drive: Provides a smooth character that balances dynamic response between wound and plain strings
- Muddy Drive: Delivers a vintage amp sound perfect for gritty blues
- 7 Heaven Drive: Combines a very tight low end with expanded dynamic response, perfect for 7- and 8-string guitars
- Pollex Drive: Designed for extreme drop-tuning, heavy-metal Djent sound
Color-Coded LCD Screen
Intuitive Navigation
The LCD screen changes color based on the effect category, making it easy to distinguish each effect type as you scroll. This makes it easier to use even in low-light environments.
Stereo Outputs
Two 1/4" Outputs
The MS-50G+ includes two 1/4" outputs that support stereo effects like reverbs, choruses, and delays. This allows for creating a full spatial sound when connected to two amplifiers or a stereo mixing system.
Built-in Chromatic Tuner
Fast and Precise Tuning
The built-in chromatic tuner uses color backlight feedback to help you tune quickly and precisely. It supports all standard guitar tunings, as well as open and drop tunings.
Intuitive Controls
Cross-Pedal Controls
The cross-pedal controls allow you to switch instantly between effects with a tap of your foot, ideal for live performances.
Four Encoder Knobs
