heya guys
so years and years ago i got a zoom505ii guitar FX pedal. Now i got a loop pedal an i wanna run my voice through the old FX pedal. im trying to work out a way of having the pedal pluged in and being able to shift from using the fx into normal mode and back into an effect again... does that make sence?
So i make a loop with a normal vocal for example.
Then i add a loop with an effect onto it.
Then another loop with normal vocal.
As far as i can tell this has to be something i can do on the FX pedal, which i click to turn the FX off but NOT block it from the out put. Cant find anything online so i was wondering if anyone had this pedal and knew how to use the damn thing. (i was about 15 when i got it and would just crank up the distortion, pick an FX and make some noise so i never learnt how it worked really)

Re: pedal help: zoom 505ii
Tue, December 25, 2007 - 1:05 PMhmmmm I can't really figure out what you mean...
you can't just run your vibes through the zoom into the loop? then turn bypass the zoom?
that would give you the option of having it on or off.
but I don't think that's what you're looking for.
wish I could be more help. -

Tue, December 25, 2007 - 2:22 PMi don't totally understand either but it sounds like the kind of thing you could probably cure by putting an A/B box before the looper and running the zoom effect in to the A channel and the other stuff into the B channel

Wed, December 26, 2007 - 12:26 AMUndoubtedly, this pedal has a bypass mode....................all multi-effects pedals do.
I'd write to the ZOOM company (or even go to their website and see if they have historic
pedal manuals online which many companies do) and ask them to send you
a manual for your pedal (if you don't have it already).
You'd be surprised at how many resources like this exist on the web.
LOL..................................sure enough............I just googled zoom 505ii instruction manual and this
is the first thing that came up.
www.zoom.co.jp/archive/En...E_505II.pdf
Read that and answer your question!!!
I don't think you'll need an A/B pedal to accomplish what you want.
Sometimes, however, as in the case of the Digitech Vocal 300 effects pedal,
the unit is kind of noisy..................so I'll use it with an A/B box so that I can
take it out of the chain when I'm not using it (and reduce the chains overall noise)
and bring it in.
I own this one, made by RADIAL and it's fantastic for this purpose.
It has completely passive bypass switched in it, so it adds no noise as many do.
