ZOOM's innovative pedals combine extraordinary sound quality with advanced features and intuitive operation.
Ever since we released our Model 9002 in 1990, musicians around the world have relied on ZOOM multi-e ects pedals to make great music. There's a good reason why....
ZOOM is always on the cutting edge of multi-e ects pedals. We've simplified user interfaces, developed DSP chips with lifelike amp emulations, o ered razor-fast patch changing, and provided super-low noise levels that are best-in-class.
If you can imagine a sound, ZOOM's e ects processors can help you create it--whether you're a guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, or DJ.
We're Zoom. And We're For Creators.
