Yeah it's good value for one small, inexpensive box.

isn´t an "arm function" to start recording just when you start playing?

Hi Gearfacts, Is that a wireless antenna for input/output? If so, what is it?

Is it possible to cancel an overdub before saving it? For me, the right peddle just pauses the whole loop rather then cancel the current overdub while overdubbing

is there any way to only clear the latest overdub?

What happens after 30 seconds? Will it stop looping? Or will it take a break and then start looping again? And can we connect Zoom G1x 4 with Roland go keys 61 keyboard?

What pedal do you know that has foot operated knobs? Most pedals are meant to be preset up.

@@BendApparatus I did not say anything about foot operated knobs which obviously are rotated not pushed. LOL. It would take me too long to link you to the numerous videos showing guitarists bending down to make adjustments during a song. If you understand my simple statement it is the design of pedals that is the issue. Yes of course there are presets but the existing pedals could be mult functional such as the single footswitch on the Boss RC5 looper, two quick succession pushes are prest to do a single push and a long sustained push has another function.

Does anyone know of a way to assign a function to the G1XFour expression pedal ( like can be done in the G1Xon)? Seems the only way to use the pedal for something is by using the stock "pedal " effects. I added the "pedal vibe" effect but find that even at minimum setting on the the pedal, there is still noticable vibe effect. No such option if tremelo is added to a chain. Would be great to be able to dampen tremelo using the expression pedal

They updated some of the layout from the G1Xon, but the changes it needed most haven't been addressed: * Limited drum tracks - no rim shot for ballads, nothing that suits most reggae, no modern house, no drum n bass. * Can't undo or pause 1 loop without affecting the others. * Still only 30 secs recording
