I have a zoom g2.1nu, pretty old one, and that is great for gigging, still using it to this day. This pedal is more than enough for live gigging and bedroom playing.

This is a remarkable device, regardless of price. The interface is completely intuitive, it’s very well made - solid! Super flexible and Zoom’s Guitar Lab software for your computer is really nicely designed. Very easy to update your board and configure with new patches or effects. Best of all is that Zoom continues to push out new patches and effects years after the release. I love the format - acts like three pedals on a pedalboard. Very easy to use on the fly. Sure - there are individual pedals with drippingly gorgeous tones at heinous prices that kill this device in sound, but as a complete package with an incredible array of effects this product is on its own. The remarkable price is just the cherry on top.

Greetings, as they say. Just wondering whether this pedal works well when connected to a basic combo (or otherwise) amp. I presume one needs to switch off all the amp and cab sims in that case. So I guess what I am asking is if it works well purely as a bunch of effects pedals.

@nazmoking3171

Looks like nobody answered you on this so the answer is yes I use it with my combo amps. I even use it with a fender acoustasonic amp so I can play my electric guitar with effects,drum machine, while also singing through a Mic into the Fender amp.

Have been using this for about 2 years. One of the best purchases of my life. Continues to impress me as more effects are constantly made. It’s super well built and feels like a professional piece of equipment for a low price.

This is so cool as a pedalboard infront of an amp. The quality of effects is underrated.

That was some of the best playing from Rob, I've heard in a long time! This was so much fun to watch :D

Massive like for the video. Some of the music that was played in here, was the best I've heard in a long-long time from any artist. My first encounter with a ZOOM multi effect goes back to some 25 years. When we all were trying to play guitar at the university and one of my mates got hold of one. We played the hell out of it.

Chappers and the cap'n are such great guitarists in their own rights. Made me happy to see the cap pick up that strat! theirs no such thing as a bad style of playing. They play what makes them happy and that fucking rocks man.

That opening. Oh my goodness that opening was amazing.

over the last few years I've managed to collect all of the original zoom 50 series. from the 503 all they up to the 510. love all their stuff.

This channel brings joy to my life.

There is so much you can do with these - drum patterns, loopers, amp models, cabs, and effects galore! I love to experiment with "re-ordering" the effects in the chains to see how that affects the sound of the patch. Truly an amazing device. When I gig I plug mine direct into the PA. No amp or pedalboard needed😀

Hey rob, I know you probably hear this a lot, but I just wanted to say thank you for all the things you do, spending hours of your time making videos, shredding with dorje and jut being an amazing person, you inspire me everyday to be a better person and to push my playing to the next level. Thank you, you've also got quite the following in Canada and I've gotten all my friends addicted to your videos, thanks again sir for doing the amazing things you do :)

I frequently whinge about Chappers forever using shred - but all credit here to The Man, all his demos and styles perfectly fit the FX being covered. Especially great playing at the start. One of the best Andertons uploads and very persuasive. Good job.

When lee played the birds preset that sounded so beautiful!

zoom needed this video

Looks perfect for my upcoming travel/practice rig. Glad they updated it.

Rob shreds! Dude can adapt to any preset like a dang chameleon!

The cab simulations are insanely good on this product for this price. There's an mic on/off switch allowing you to run them though an amp or straight to a PA / audio interface and it works just brilliant. I use its big brother (G5n) and it's fantastic when you can't carry an amp with you, the PA will do the job. Thank you for the video guys, great one, as always! Greetings from Berlin.

I own one of these and I can tell you that the real gold is found in tweaking your own patches. The effects are outstanding and the compression is stellar. I use it with my katana's front end and it works well with the katana's effects. This unit rarely gets the kind of respect it deserves in demos because the truth is it outperforms units costing three times as much

Are you asking can you use it as a pedal board? The answer is yes.

This was one of the best videos for the zoom G3nX. After watching this video I knew I had to have one of these pedals. I decided to purchase the Zoom G3n from Andertons because there were not any in the local stores in MN US. This pedal arrived in 3 days which I was shocked at the speed. This is one of the best purchases I've ever made A++.

This little thing seems like sooo much fun! Great demo as always!

That intro jam was beautiful

I have an older Zoom G3 (without the pedal part). I think it's great. I love the rhythm (drum generator). Sounds great, IMO. Zoom quality is really nice. I also have the Zoom B10n Bass combo pedal, too. Somehow, mine doesn't sound as good as when Rob plays it :):):)

omg, this Chapman guitar!!! I'm in love!

The Capt playing the "birds" preset

I love zoom effects processors. I've had and used my g1xn for 7 years and it has served me very well in that time, especially since most of that time I was too young to get a job and pay for other pedals. The ultimate beginners introduction to guitar effects

This is a fabulous device. I hardly looked at the manual, and had the hang of it in 5 minutes. IT IS INTUITIVE. Easy. After 10 minutes and a few glances at the manual, I could do everything. Very easy to use, wonderful to edit on, download the firmware upgrade and install (EASY) and you've got a pile more effects beyond what it came with. The software allows you to move patches and effects where ever you want, although editing must be done on the unit. I paid $125 new for mine- it's 21st century, and maybe the last effects box you'll ever need. Oh, and the sound quality is stellar. Want to run on a battery? Simple, I ran mine on a single 9 volt rechargeable by simple hooking up a plug toa battery. Want longer battery power? Hook 2 or three up in series, or use AA batteries. (Or just use the included AC cord- big deal, you have to plug in your amp don't you?) This is an outrageous device for the money. Three thumbs up. :-) No frustration at all, exactly the opposite. This is going to be the #1 effects unit in the world, mark my word. See my youtube videos for lots of fun: kzread.info

Years ago I had a Zoom 2020, and the best thing that can be said about it is that after I gave it to my friend's son he used it as part of his start up rig to launch a career as a professional entertainer that continues to this day ;-) I recall a mate buying a 9002 in about 1991. I went out and bought a Boss BE-5M, which I wish I still had... Glad to see that they have their act together these days.

The birds preset was simply beautiful. If you guys are skipping around the long video I HIGHLY suggest you check out 15:35. I've never heard such a studio sounding preset with no post editing sound so great.

It's nice to see Zoom making sturdier units that don't cost an arm and a leg now. I use to have a Zoom 3030 that I ADORED!!! That thing had some of the most unique guitar tones out there and even had an expression pedal. Unfortunately it was made of cheap plastic and after a few years of heavy use it eventually broke on me which really sucked as they had stopped making it at that point. Thankfully it paid for itself in great gigs and recordings that I still listen to with great nostalgia and memories of that little Zoom unit. Before that I had the original Zoom 9000 "wonder wedge" that as Rob and Lee mentioned, didn't sound great, but was extremely innovative at the time. These days I still use my old Zoom 5000 driver pedal which I regard as one of the finest distortion pedals for heavy metal ever made. That fine pedal is built like a tank thankfully. I also still use in my home studio, the Zoom 9150 Valve DSP rack unit which is a fantastic but little-known preamp/FX processor. The clean sounds generally suck on it, but the distortion tones are out of this world. After hearing the sounds of this unit on this video, I may just end up getting these but only if the direct sounds via USB sound decent. Often I just want to plug in and record into my computer without fussing about with amps, microphones, and mic preamps, especially when the muse hits me suddenly. So this unit might fit the bill. But I'm sad that they didn't show the direct sound. Also they didn't mention if whether the drum sounds at the beginning were built into the unit or not. So yeah, they could have improved on the video by showcasing those things. But aside from that it was a great video.

I just bought a Fender Bassman from a guy off Craigslist and he wanted to include this unit and an attenuator as a package and I’m so glad I remembered this video. What a great piece of gear for the price.

I was considering getting this for my Katana 50 and then I find this video. I was considering changing my 50 for a 100 so I could use the GA-FC and expression pedal at the same time, but it will be less expensive to just get this instead.

I bought this about a week ago and I love it. It has excellent sound quality for the price.

These new Zoom pedals are very solid (heavy weight, metal boxes), and the LCD screens are easy to see in a live situation. I really like most of the patches, and for the price, they have to be the best bang for the buck on the market today.

I know it's an older model, but I was looking into getting a G5x and this video helped me decide. Thanks, Chap! Stay awesome, brother.

Love the work you do guys. I just picked up the g5n....two weeks ago. Been playing since the 80's, and have gigged, up until last weekend, with an orange tube amp into a Marshall built quad box., with a massive pedal board of tasty commercial and boutique stomps. So what's changed? The amazing zoom pedal board, direct into the PA delivers a quality of tone, and a reliability of mix, that I have struggled to achieve from venue to venue. Once properly set up (ditching most of the factory patches), I've gone from a die hard tube head, to a complete convert. What does it deliver? Simple 3 plug gig setup. Power. Guitar in. PA out. I'm done and ready for sound check. Love it. Also, something that is often missed when this zoom range is discussed. All the cabs, both built in and downloaded, feature a MIC setting, which is actually an impulse response. Sure, you can't import your own IR's, but really, with the range of cabs available, why would you want to. All I can say is if you play, get one. A G3n or a G5n. This thing sounds so good, is so easy to use, you will play more, with more confidence, and it will make you a better player. :)

To be fair, the GT-1 has had loads of attention from the moment it launched despite being rehashed tech from the GT-100.

Fair enough. I just feel sympathy for Zoom as they've largely been overlooked despite offering completely new modeling. The GT-1 is like a hybrid of the GT-100 and the ME-80, both of which have been out for a long time (when it comes to digital pedals). I would personally like to see the next generation of modeling tech from Boss, Digitech, Vox etc and I think the GT-1 has received more attention than it deserves. I'm not saying it's a bad pedal. Just saying I'd like to see things move forward.

Hey guys, started watching your channel a couple of months ago. On some of these pedal videos, half the time Rob plays a guitar that's WAY out of most people's price range, and it makes me wonder how that affects the sound. Could he play with maybe some more mid-range guitars when doing videos solely about pedals? Wouldn't that make it kind of more equalized and accessible for us mere mortals?

@PragmaticDany

Doesn’t affect the sound, a squire or a Gibson custom shop sound just as good depending on the amp and your playing

Look at you guys gettin all 90s dream pop.

This thing is great! I just got the g3n as a wedding present and I’m really happy with it. Eventually I’d like to upgrade to a model with the pedal, either the g3xn or the g5n, but honestly the g3n does everything I’d like a pedal like this to do. My only comment on it is some of the presets and effects are way louder than others. It has a master volume, but you want to set that so the bypass is the same volume as your amp, so you can’t mess with that too much. Instead, each patch has an individual master volume that can be accessed through patch settings. So you have to take the time to go through every setting and adjust the levels to even it all out, which consists of turning most of them down a fair bit. That also means every new patch you create has to be balanced with all the others. So you have to spend a bit of time dialing in the levels with everything. Once you’ve don’t that though, this pedal really shines and can’t be beat for the money.
