Seen a lot of people criticising this bit of kit, I think they are mainly snobs or missing the point: most of us are either playing for fun at home or doing small gigs. For this purpose it's ideal. I only use the tuner, compression, EQ, reverb and the occasional bit of crunchiness; a separate pedal for each of those is going to cost more than this. The only issue for me is it's unintuitive at first. Thanks for the quick reminder, I've just unpacked all my kit after a couple years with no place of my own, life's looking good man.

Good video/run through. I've had my G1X-four for about 6 months now. Have really enjoyed the rythym and looper puting down a small backing track that i can play improvised lead over. I mean i've done that for hours on end and had so much enjoyment out of doing it. My improv has come on bundles. And just the fact that this thing makes me want to keep playing has brought my soloing and neck knowledge on huge amounts. This may not be for everyone but i'm glad i got this. Sounds like I'm in a band again but with less arguments ...lol.

Excellent videos, both of these tutorials. Thanks so much for putting them together, made it so easy for me to dive in and use. I just wanted to add that the ‘pre and post’ features in the looper refer to whether the effects are saved to the loop or whether the patch is applied after. Whilst most of the time post is what you would want to use, the ‘pre’ setting is excellent if you want to record a riff and then tweak a patch to it perfectly. I love this little thing, so versatile.

Finally, someone talks about how to go back and forth between patches. Looks cumbersome for live performance if you are on patch 4,5,6 ... and you have to get back to patch 1 quickly, but going back and forth between the adjacent patches is looks good. They should place a long hold to on the pedal to get you back to patch one or to jump 2 or more patches either forward or backwards.

@TheImageDoctor

Жыл бұрын

To use this pedal as a "performance tool" you may want to try these options: (a) create custom sequential patches that match the song set so you can simply step-thru your songs/patches in order of use; or (b) setup your "go-to" patches in sets of 10 however it makes sense to YOU (i.e. clean 10-19, blues 20-29, rock 30-39, etc.); or (c) use GuitarLab or ToneLib software to create/save your own complete patch-banks and simply pre-load your pedal with whatever you have saved for that gig/set - hope this helps TM961, thanks for taking time to comment 👍

Also useful for Space Age Love Song (maybe with the Delay dialed down a lot though). I always use some Chorus as well, just a touch. I wonder if Paul used Flanger as well? Maybe a tad.

I bought a Zoom G2.1U when it came out about 15 years ago!? Pretty solid pedal for it's time. I still have it but its starting to have problems with the power jack. I have not used it in years but always kept it as a backup. Starting to eyeball a replacement. It looks like they kept some of the basics with functionality. Seeing them for sale online for under 100$... may have pick one up. I kept it simple on my G2.1U... setup a boogie amp for gain, adusted it for different levels of gain and volumes for soloing and similar for a clean sound with the Roland Jazz chorus amp sim. It appears it can be as simple as you want or as complex as you want with this newer version.

I wanted to post an update after using the Zoom for a couple of weeks. First, You need to learn how to save a preset. Second, If your not using a dedicated guitar amp, but are using headphones or a pa, you need to go thru all the emulated speaker cabinets and turn the mic on and SAVE IT! Otherwise you will be wondering "what the #$%^" is going on every time you try something. Third, There is another volume in the Settings Patch Save. Use it to set your Patch volume after you have got your sound right. I found that I had to set my clean sounds to a volume of 120 while the distortion Patches needed to be sat at 20 to balance out the volume - big difference. It has a realistic tube modeling sound and that alone makes it worth it. But, you need to set the modeling amps gain to almost nothing to get a good clean sound. The JCM 800 amp model sounded just like a JCM 800 cranked up. I was impressed. But it wasn't easy to get a clean sound like a real one was.

Good points. My experience w/ Zoom began w/ the legendary 9001 beltpack unit - which is still a freak'n brilliant piece of equipment if you can find one in working condition (especially the battery) - and then teleported 30 years to the G1Xon (which may still be my no.1 video in terms of total views) - the G1Xfour was a fabulous upgrade in terms of user interface w/ the device, even though most of the factory patches are a bit over the top IMO. As a long-time user / reviewer / answerer of the G1Xfour (and G1Xon before that) MY VOTES for directly advancing the usability of the current model pedal are: (1) include enough internal processing/memory to never see another "process overrun" error message and allow me to literally fill every slot with any pedal in the unit (2) let me assign any (1) individual patch parameter to the expression pedal: So I can swell the drive on a gain pedal, or lengthen the reverb tail to end a solo, stuff like that - let it be my choice which pedal parameter is affected (3) literally back-off the settings of every factory preset @ 30%, so we can "dial up" to more sound instead of having to "dial down" to save our eardrums (some of the factory patches are so "much" as to be completely unusable "as is" IMO) (4) include enough internal processing/memory so that all of the pedals that can (currently) only be activated using a connected computer and software, are included and directly available in the pedal itself off-the-shelf / from the factory Thanks for chiming in Al :-)

@@TheImageDoctor Yes... I just got the G1X four and will have a lot of satisfaction from refining the the stock patches. As an upgrade for my old GFX 707, I'm very happy, especially in conjunction with the available software. Another great product from Zoom!

Thanks for making this video. You actually talked me out of buying this unit. I don't want to fiddle with a pedal this much just to learn it's functions. I would rather spend my time playing. Looks like it's gonna be a Line 6 Pod Express, a Vox Stompbox, or possibly even a Boss ME-90 for me. I prefer simplicity.

Hey, whatever helps you make a positive decision forward is a good thing - I can say this (newer) unit is a heck of'a lot easier to use than the previous model - and like any multi-FX pedal, once you have it dialed in, you dont mess w/ it much - enjoy your final selection of pedal and let us know which one you choose 👍

hello! not sure if people would answer but i would appreciate some help. i was wondering if there was a way to temporarily switch on and off and effect, and if there's a way to stack effects without making another custom unit? say you want both gain, and to use the wah. something like smells like teen spirit, where it goes from clean -> distortion. thanks :))

It really depends on exactly what you're asking and the terminology being used - I highly recommend watching my second "Deep Dive" video, which may answer your question: kzread.info/dash/bejne/q4Ckq4-JqtPbp5s.html - if you don't get the answer you need, let me know by posting another comment to THAT video (so I know you watched it, LOL !!!) and I'll do my best to answer your question
