The MS-50G updates Zoom’s time-tested amp, preamp, and multi-effects box formula with a thoroughly redesigned control section for enhanced workflow. Like the classic MS-50G, this pedal sports a high-visibility LCD for intuitive navigation of all 100 effects, including overdrives, delays, reverbs, compressors, modulation effects, and just about any other stompbox sound you could ever need. However, the MS-50G ’s addition of four Cross Key switches and four encoder knobs dramatically simplify everything from selecting your effects to parameter editing to even building up massive multi-patch tones comprised of up to six individual effects. Furthermore, the MS-50G also boasts a built-in tuner, Guitar Lab mobile app, and stereo outputs for incredibly three-dimensional delays, reverbs, and chorus. All in all, the MS-50G is a seriously comprehensive little unit that covers all your multi-effects needs in a compact, gig-ready form factor.

Explore more than 100 world-class effects





From original Zoom effect creations to the most sought-after sounds in guitar history, the MS-50G ’s vast library of 100 effects runs the stompbox gamut. This pedal’s multi-effects arsenal ranges from overdrives to time-based effects to modulation to filters to compressors ? you even get several cutting-edge preamp emulations developed using Zoom’s Multi-layer IR technology. Moreover, the MS-50G can run up to six of these effects simultaneously, allowing you to carve out custom presets for stage set lists, recording sessions, and any other 6-string application.





Intuitive encoder knobs and Cross Key switches





Navigating tones and building presets is easier than ever, thanks to the Zoom MS-50G ’s entirely re-designed control section. Sweetwater guitarists appreciate how the added four Cross Key switches make swapping between effects a breeze, providing significantly improved hands-free control. Once you’ve selected your effect, the LCD’s stompbox-specific graphics and four encoder knobs make dialing in as straightforward as it would be on any physical guitar pedal. Planning on taking your MS-50G onstage? This pedal’s LCD changes colors depending on your chosen effect category, making navigation efficient and lightning-fast.





Guitar Lab app unlocks enhanced sonic possibilities





While the MS-50G comes right out of the box with 100 studio-ready effects, connect your pedal to Zoom’s Guitar Lab app to access an ever-expanding library of new tones to explore. Not only does Guitar Lab offer additional effects, but it also features custom patches for the player who prefers plug-and-play functionality over minute preset tweaking.
