A culmination of Zoom's most coveted MultiStomp features, the MS-200D represents the pinnacle of pedalboard versatility ? one dedicated entirely to the art of overdrive, distortion, and the like. Over 150 effect options offer limitless intrinsic potential from vintage-style drives to subtle modern fuzz ? not to mention the ability to tweak, adjust, and save your own presets for later use via the four onboard parameter knobs and Cross Key switches. Plus, a built-in tuner makes light work of intonation control without having to add another pedal to your board. Complete with a sleek metal housing, USB-C power compatibility, and the untapped potential of the pedal's dual-effect processing, the MS-200D deserves a spot in any discerning guitarist's arsenal.

Over 150 outstanding overdriven tones





Chasing down every distortion pedal on the market is no longer necessary. The MS-200D MultiStomp contains 200 unique drive and distortion effects, including 36 emulations of classic tones from prog-rock fuzz to overdriven grunge shreds and beyond. Plus, four onboard encoder knobs allow you to fine-tune the parameters of your chosen effect just like any other hardware pedal ? offering endless amounts of sonic exploration. After hours of putting it through its paces, Sweetwater guitarists just barely scratched the surface of the MS-200D MultiStomp's capabilities.





Split-second tonal navigation





Whether onstage or jamming at home, you'll likely need to swap out effects in a pinch. That's where the MS-200D MultiStomp's four onboard Cross Key switches come into play. Simply tap the switches to utilize seamless navigation of your favorite presets and creations, making it easier than ever to swap out two effects in a matter of seconds. Additionally, the pedal's LCD changes color with each scroll, giving you a visual indication of which preset you've selected for easy stage use.





Explore, save, recall





Given the pedal's seemingly endless amount of utilities and the ability to simultaneously use up to two effects, creating unique layers and patches is inevitable. Once you've dialed in a tone that suits your needs, it can easily be saved on one of the pedal's 200 available custom patch slots. Likewise, each patch can just as easily be recalled with some navigation on the pedal's interface for convenient use when the time calls.
