Designed to provide a multitude of guitar tones and axe-effects at the tap of your toe, the MS-50G MultiStomp Guitar Pedal from Zoom is a stompbox sporting distortion, modulation effects, dynamics processing, amp emulation, delay, chorus, reverb, and more. This pedal allows you to combine any six effects in any order. To store your custom-tailored effects, there are 50 onboard patch memory slots. Furthermore, an Auto Save function will make sure that any edit you make to any preset you've created will, as the name suggests, be saved automatically.

You can cycle through 26 patches in any order you choose, thus satisfying your inevitable wish—if you've ever interfaced with a giant pedal board—to simply single-stomp your way through an entire set-list. A single 1/4" input handles both active and passive instruments, though the device sports dual output jacks to facilitate true stereo, either live or in recording. An onboard chromatic tuner and tap-tempo feature are also provided.

Q: 8. Does the pan bar slip when tilting up and down on the activ 6 head? I had a bad experience with an FSB 8T head doing just that, because Sachtler made the teeth too shallow for the pan bar to grip the rosette properly.

A: Fully functional Sachtler heads do not slip. What you described sounds like a defective or damaged tripod head. In a situation like that we recommend exchanging the tripod for a working model if within the return policy or contacting Sachtler to get the tripod head serviced. It is unfortunate that your previous experience with Sachtler was negative as they are known for making excellent tripod heads. It is unlikely that you will have the same experience with the Aktiv 6 head but in case you do contact us immediately and we will do what we can to make sure that you get a functional tripod head.
