Zoom announces the MS-100BT Bluetooth-enabled multi-effects pedal

The MS-100BT Multistomp Guitar Pedal with Bluetooth, is the most advanced pedal to date in Zoom's revolutionary line of pedals.  It combines the power and flexibility of a multi-effects pedal and amp modeler with Bluetooth technology in a single stompbox design.  With 100 preloaded stompbox effects and amp models, the MS-100BT also allows Zoom's free iOS Stompshare app (available through Apple's app store) with your iPod, iPhone or iPad.

Preloaded with 92 Stompbox effects 8 amp models

With the size and weight of a typical single stompbox, the MS-100BT includes a thorough lineup of high-quality effects types. It features 92 stompbox effects and 8 amp models. Along with distortions, reverbs, modulations, choruses and other classic effects, its amp models simulate some of the most prized pieces of live and studio gear.

Buy and add effects with Bluetooth

Using an iOS device (compatible with iOS 4.3 or later) and the free StompShare app, you can browse, sample, purchase and download additional effects for the MS-100BT instantaneously via Bluetooth technology. If you suddenly need a new sound in the middle of a band practice or recording session, you can purchase the effect you want and use it right away.

Transferring effects is easy with Bluetooth

Using Bluetooth to transfer effects purchased in the StompShare app to your MS-100BT, you can easily add effects to your pedal without needing to connect a dedicated cable. Transferring effects usually takes seconds. 

Intuitive easy-to-use user interface

 

We have further refined the simple user interface that was revolutionary in our G3 and G5. The LCD shows the current effect in use, while the scrolling function allows you to easily view the flow of your effects chain. With this intuitive, easy-to-use interface, creating amazing sounds is a breeze.

Use up to six effects all at once

 

The MS-100BT allows you to utilize up to six effects simultaneously, as well as arrange them in any combination. This gives you the ability to craft classic sounds, as well as lush, complex tones. Leave the rules you learned behind and enjoy creative freedom with the MS-100BT.

Add 100 effects to your pedalboard

 

Cut down the size of your pedalboard by adding in MS-100BT to the mix. From a single pedal, you’ll have 100 effects types waiting at your feet to be called-up no matter have often you need them.

 

Tweak your settings with ease

 

The MS-100BT’s front panel features three parameter knobs, which also function as buttons. These buttons can be used to open various menus, where you can then use the parameter knobs to tweak your effects settings to your liking. Remove and/or rearrange effect units, turn the AUTOSAVE function ON and OFF, recall patches and more with ease and efficiency.

Realistic, high-quality audio design

 

The cutting-edge ZFX-IV DSP processor can execute sophisticated algorithms using 32-bit floating-point calculations. A sigmoid curve clipper helps create the smoothly clipped waveform characteristics of tubes, providing the most realistic modeling sounds and richest harmonic components to date.

Onboard auto-chromatic guitar tuner

 

Hold the footswitch down to activate the built-in chromatic tuner in an instant. Even on stage during a performance, all you need to do is move your foot to enable tuning. You can choose between a BYPASS mode that turns all the effects off and a MUTE mode that allows you to tune silently.
