Anyone got a Boss MD-500 ? and other pedals

I’m about to pull the trigger on one so I have all three 500 series. Could someone kindly post a few audio demos of it with some synths please?

Would you buy it again if given the chance or would you go elsewhere?

Also… other pedals of interest. I got reverbs and delay covered?

I’ve been mentioning it a lot in other posts but I highly recommend the Empress Zoia.
It’s pretty much any effect plus a lot more.
And unlike most “multi-effect” pedals it sounds really good.
Here is a link to a ton of examples/patches

yeah I’ve been thinking about the Zoia. That user interface looks confusing as hell though, and if it’s anything I’ve learned from buying modular, the moment I have to start digging through manuals for multi-functions (ie Disting mk4) it tends to be left untouched once I’ve had my initial play with it.

It can be a little daunting but folks on Zoia subreddit are very helpful.
The ability to make connections anywhere and multiple pages lets me build a simple user interface on the first page and essentially hide all the wacky stuff on the other pages.
It’s ridiculously fun imo but definitely a challenge

If it was a desktop or rack with a better/larger interface I’d be all over it as I love the granular stuff I’ve seen on youtube. It just might as well be some alien puzzle game though as those same videos leave me head scratching on what the hell they’re actually doing.

this is about as complex as I’d like to go with pedals

I hear ya. I found if I didn’t make the patch myself I spent (wasted) too much time figuring out what the hell was going on.

That thing looks like a beast!
