ZOOM has introduced their GFX707 multi-effects pedal for guitariststhat adds some new features over their popular 505 pedal. For starters, an expression pedal that can control volume, wah, and other effects parameters is built-in. The GFX707 also includes a built-in drum machine with 46 PCM based rhythm patterns in various styles. You can even layer your own guitar parts (or external audio sources) using the internal six-second sampler. The Jam Play feature allows you to record two seconds of a phrase and then use the expression pedal to control the playback speed and direction, or "scratch" like a DJ. to nine effects can be used at once, drawing from a list of close to 100 effects and variations including, compression, distortion (fuzz, overdrive, etc.), phasing, flanging, chorus, delay, tremolo, vibrato, reverb, ring modulator, slow attack, filter, wah, auto-wah, auto-pan, pitch shifting, EQ, and acoustic simulator. Amp simulation is included as well, and real-time adjustment of effects can be accomplished with the rotary knobs.

Memory for 60 presets (30 user and 30 factory) is offered, and the GFX707 can be powered by four AA batteries or an optional AC adapter.
