Product Description

Take the Revolutionary G1N and Slap on an Expression Pedal and You Get the G1XN! Incredible drive tones, effect types and legendary presets, the G1xN is proud to bring every player into the new world of compact multieffects! Ever since Zoom released its 505 pedal back in 1996, guitarists all over the world have coveted these incredible sounds as they have gotten better and more intense every year! The first thing you notice with the G1XN is its totally new drive sounds that were developed using the state-of-the-art ZFX modeling technology. Featuring 15 amp and stomp-box models that faithfully replicate every detail of the classics, from gain settings to harmonic character, the G1XN delivers natural expression from nuanced playing to total bone-sizzling shreds. And the new, original amp models designed especially by Zoom for the G1XN will amazed. It's never been easier to edit effects. Simply select the effect module with the selector knob then edit the value with the value knob. That's all there is to it! You can easily design your own tones to suit your music. Dedicated buttons for saving patches, a bank switcher and integrated rhythm patterns make fine-tuning your sounds a breeze. A chromatic tuner is available simply by stepping on the two pedal buttons simultaneously. And with bright LED indicators, you'll get easy operation even on a dark stage. The G1XN has 9 types of presets that simulate the sounds of rock legends like Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and many more. Plus, there are 21 types of artist patches designed by amazing guitar heroes like Michael Amott, Kiko Loureiro, Richie Kotzen, Rob Caggiano, Mike Stone and Matt Bachand, so you can use these professionally designed guitar sounds in your music. Also, there are 10 types of presets for any style of guitar playing, such as power chords, arpeggio, lead, cutting and much more. You can even save 40 patches you create in the G1XN's user memory. Specifications such as a signal-to-noise ratio of 110dB and noise floor of -98dBm demonstrate a level of performance that's not usually seen in units of this class. Background noise is a thing of the past, resulting in superbly transparent sound. Zoom's original noise reduction (ZNR) removes noise in playing pauses, while maintaining a natural release even on the tail of sustained notes.

Customer Reviews

Ok, so I bought this because my friend had an old Zoom multi-effects pedal and he recommended getting one. It's a solid pedal, but has a few drawbacks. First the positives:
Pros:
-Has a lot of room to store custom presets (up to 40, with 40 factory presets you can't permanently change). These are fun to create.
-Has many effects that are decent in quality, and gives a fair amount of control over them.
-Easy to use, came with wallet card explaining the readout, but this is unnecessary after a few days.
-Sounds very good through headphones.
-Comes with AC adapter.
-Pretty well priced. Definitely a good value.
Cons:
-The drum machine sucks. Boring and quiet, even at full volume.
-You can't run more than one effect from each section, which means you can't layer a lot of effects.
-The noise gate is really crappy. It does remove the noise while you're not playing (as a noise gate is supposed to) but when you stop playing the noise comes through for about half a second before fading out, and sometimes it dulls your pick attack. For those who know noise gates, the attack and release are pretty slow, with a hold that's too long for most of my guitar playing.
-The distortions are pretty lame. Many sound very similar and they're all a bit muddy, even when you adjust the EQ.
-The pitch bending effect is pretty poor, but not useless. It sounds shaky and poppy when you bend the pitch more than half an octave.
It'd be much better to get a different pedal for each effect this pedal creates, but that'd be really expensive. All in all, this pedal is great for beginning players or advanced players on a budget.
UPDATE: 7/13/11
After playing with this pedal for over a half year, it's still going strong. I'd like to add to my original review that the EQ is a bit disappointing (I hadn't really played with it until recently). You end up with a very "digital" sound when using it, especially when boosting frequency bands. Also, I've been using the reverb a lot lately, mostly through headphones, and it sounds great. I'd like to give Zoom credit for putting a very good reverb effect.

This is a really terrific effects pedal. The individual effects are not quite as good as a dedicated pedal would have, but you get so many in such a compact unit that it is a great value and a lot of fun to play with. It also has a good tuner, a basic drum section, and it will drive a set of headphones, so you can use it instead of having a separate tuner, metronome, and practice amp. The pedal works smoothly and has stood up to fairly vigorous use. It comes with a lot of premade patches and room to store a lot of your own.
Weaknesses are the complexity of the interface (significant learning curve to use all of the features, though this just reflects how powerful and flexible the unit is), awkwardness of the drum interface (you can't push the tiny drum button with your foot, and it is hard to adjust the drums while you are playing), and weakness of some of the effects (I was especially disappointed by the octave/pitch shifter).
I heartily recommend this pedal. You should think about whether you would be better with this model or the one with the separate pedal you plug in, though. This one is less expensive and more compact, but you can't adjust any of the settings without bending down to the floor, though you can run up or down through your patch list with the two large buttons. The unit with the separate pedal would allow you to have it up on a table while the pedal was on the floor, which would be a lot better for programming in the patches.
