The Zoom 505 Guitar Effects Pedal

I recently got a used Zoom 505 guitar effects pedal really cheap. They normally go for about $100 or so but I got it for $50. It has quite a lot of stuff in it in spite of the fact that the display is over simplified which makes it a little ackward to organize your patches. Never the less it is a great value for the money and is quite useful for live applications.

I started combing the web for some info on the pedal any found these links which are very helpful for applications of the 505 Pedal.

If you own a Zoom 505 pedal these links of info will be a definite help to you.

One of these pages actually has a program that will show you over 500 different patches for the Zoom 505. I had trouble for some reason running the program but I was able to view the file with all the patches. They're great, and you will have hours of fun trying them. Each of the over 550 patches has an in depth explanation of the patch.

Here is the Microsoft Access Database file that you can download to view the patches.
