Zoom V3

The effect sound cheap, although the range is pretty extreme for special effect.
The BIG MISS is the fact that I can not combine effects.
I can't even use pitch correct in combination with one of the others.
Only compressor delay and reverb are combined with effect.
Appearantly the V6 is able to do this but I couldn't find the information on the zoom website to confirm.
I can imagine the effect to be usfull in broadcast for speach, but having no way to combine the effects or saving the adjustments would mean to fiddle evertime I change effect which is undoable while singing.
Furthermore I found that the volume is very low and there is no XLR-out; can't get my head around using two different types of connectors for a machine that was designed to be used for microphones. Using my preamp resulted in no sound at all.
Non of this is mentioned in the user manual.
To me this has degraded an otherwise pretty nifty device to a childrens toy. Easy to push buttons to get weird sounds, it does get a laugh though.
