No electric guitar set up should be without one!
If you have an electric guitar or are getting one, get this to go
with it! This is the best $60 I have ever spent! You can make your
guitar sound like just about any out there, get that heavy Metallica
sound with enough distortion to max out any amp, to clean light blues
if you want. Plus the effects, my god the effects, any sort of reverb
you want, weird little effects, endless possiblities, you'll spend
hours getting different sounds.
Also, this little device has a headphone output, so you don't
really need an amp with it at all! Speaking of which, all the effects
it has built in, you could spend tons of dough on a big expensive amp
that does a fraction of what this does.
Not to mention it has a built in drum machine, and tuner! Add to
that it's a very sturdy sleek looking device, I can't see how anyone
makes money on it, unbeatable value. You can create ways for your
guitar to sound and store them, using the large buttons to select your
different preset modes for on-the-fly playing at a live show.
I actually bought this not knowing about the G1x for $20 more,
which actually adds a pedal for volume, wah effects, and apparently
higher sound quality. Either way, you can't go wrong!
A great effects pedal, especially for the price!
I ordered this pedal after reading some positive reviews for it,
and it more than lives up to the press! For a guy like me, who's a
musician purely by hobby, this is a perfect investment because the
price is reasonable, but the unit performs exceptionally well. It has a
nice selection of effects, is programmable, and even has a built-in
drum machine. I recommend this to anyone who wants to add some crunch
to their playing without spending a small fortune.
Lots of Electronics for the Price
The Zoom G1 is a highly effective piece of equipment, period. The
numerous presets are valuable in and of themselves, with emulations of
famous tube amplifiers, and unique blends of sounds (sustain, amplifier
emulation, sustain, distortion, tremelo, etc.) associated with famous
guitarists. The Zoom is fully programmable, too--and that's perhaps
where the real value is. A few quibbles: (1) a little sturdier
construction (ok, metal is heavier to carry in your gig bag, but it is
sturdier) would be nice; (2) the digital sustain, reverb, and
especially the fade out can sound a little fake, compared to their
non-digital cousins. Point #2 can be controlled through the programming
mode, but if you use only the pre-sets, be prepared for some
interesting non-linear cutouts and a few other peculiarities.
I have found the unit particularly effective as an interface
between my guitar and a direct box into a sound system. I purchased the
Zoom from my local music retailer for some $ over what you'll typically
find from Amazon.com vendors, and I consider it well worth the money.
At the prices I see on Amazon, though, it's a steal. Buy it!
