Zoom G1X Four Multi Effect-Pedal

Avoid too much gain

Amazing pedal with all you could ever ask for, but I found that using it on a high/max gain setting can make the sound "stutter". Perfect build quality, though.

Best Pedal for Beginners and Intermediates

If you wanna find your style and what tones suits you, you won't find a better pedal than this. The Zoom G1X Four is a versitile pedal that offers loads of effects and customability. It sounds great (I have an orange solid state amp for reference) and also comes with a looper and a large assortement of drums sounds, ehich helps when practicing and writing songs. This is the best thing you can get for a low price and without wasting money on single effect pedals.

Best

The literall best guys, has so many effects and u can even adjust how they sound!

Excelent for the price

Affordable and sounds good. Sound caractristics good as other expensive products

Zoom G1Xfour

Very good product for the price it costs. You have a great variety of effects and you can add or change through GuitarLab. Easy to handle, well built, solid. I'm very satisfied.

Great for the price!

Many effects, majority of them usable. Amp sims and distortions have a digital hiss but that's to be expected at the price point. A few of them can do the trick. In short - I've heard much worse for more money. Modulation, delay and reverb vary from very good to excellent. Only that is worth the purchase.

It's just right about OK to handle it and edit the effects, just forget doing it inconspicuously during live performace. Except if you only do the preset switching with your sound banks set beforhand for a specific PA / amp. Not too many places for pedals cabs and amps - only 5 (five) but it does the job if you have multiple patches per song.

Build quality is very nice for the price point. It's a very durable, thick and light plastic that looks like it's gonna last a long time. Footswitch height and shape are very confortable and pleasing to use, even more than BOSS-es.

Looper is short, but for practice it will have to do. 1 minute instead of 30 sec would be ideal.

Recommended buy for practicing, basic recording and casual reharseals, and basic effects (mod, rev, delay etc) for gigs.

Cheers!

Not related to the review:

I'd love to see Zoom make a dedicated multi track (say 2 with 1 minute each) looper like the boss RC 500, but more simpler, hardware like and in a lower price range (say 100 eur). I wouldn't mind the casing of the G1X Four for a design start. Maybe replace the volume control with two additional buttons or so.

For the price its an excellent piece of gear. It offers tons of usable effects with good presets. It would be great if it could have more than 10 user patches but again for the price 10 is good enough. The drum loops are also good quality and very useful for practice.

Excellent value

Very easy to use, well designed interface (no offence to the handful of people who struggled with the interface, everyone is different).

Really nice selection of FX.

Top Price Quality

I've been using it for 2 years now, still working great and a lot of fun to use, very good combined with a Quality amp.

Love this

The best bundle of joy I can ever experience in pedals
