All user reviews for the Zoom G2

Pedal digital much effect ... It has all been said before.

UTILIZATION

Configuration simple enough, but still above long enough to equalize the volumes between the different presets.
The manual is very clear, detailing the various settings.

SOUND QUALITY

I had this pedal with an old transistor amp. The sound emerged very cold, lifeless, especially the distorted sounds. But in a tube amp, you can feel the pedal really breathe. The clean sounds are very good (although the default presets are a little overloaded with effects), and saturation rather mixed, some more satisfactory, others useless.
The special effects are many and varied, but some are very bad (ring modulator, ...), while others, including the harmonization and the octave, are excellent.
On the drum machine, offering sounds pretty good, about thirty different beats ... it will be the perfect complement to a looper

Sometimes I plug the pedal directly into the sound, making it very well thanks to the integrated speaker simulation. Saturations out less than a tube amp, but it is very useful for troubleshooting or to disseminate only the drum machine. Yet to try it with a microphone for vocals!

OVERALL OPINION

I had this pedal 4 years ago, and have neglected for 2 or 3 years for lack of a sound amplifier to enable it to properly. I rediscovered recently, and I was amazed at the sounds obtained in my new amp!
While the bypass is fairly transparent, it still takes a lot of momentum, so a looper "True Bypass" is essential if you have a tube amp and you're a little picky about the sound.
Otherwise, for the price, great pedal, but with experience, I chose the G2.1u, for the expression pedal (which can still be added later, I made mine, it works very well).

Everything is pretty much say above, it is a digital effects pedal for guitar, there's about all the guitar effects on it ...

UTILIZATION

I've never read the manual, not that I do not read ^ ^, but because-as I usually do like that, discover and launch myself.
It's pretty simple let's say I put a little time before having any all-inclusive settings. But after I understood: what was the setting and as such adjustment (this is the volume of this, that and the settings of the tones of it ...), everything becomes instinctive.
The thing that I put as much time to find and the bypass!
The latter, which simply snaps-made: by pressing both buttons simultaneously ...

SOUND QUALITY

Where to start ....

The effects of delay and reverb are very good!
I'm no fan of DeLay, but is excellent on the G2.
Reverb me a lot more. There is the natural setting of the volume reverberation, tone, and what I call the "intensity" of the Rever. SA to find perfect reverb.
Note that according to the effect there are different reverb, some which can be very fun for grand.Intéressant to act as if we were playing in a huge room, so we have a small room. ^ ^
The Chorus is very good too, there is settings like on a real chorus pedal, very good.

Distortions for the interesting and you can get a good range of different sound, for example: a small Overdrive, then, right next to a boosted overdrive and distortion Rock, then a typed Metal and Disto strong distortion boosted to simplify life on a solo speed ...

But the problem with this is that distortion pedal you ever happen to a completely satisfying its reach to say that we would have "his favorite." There is always a perceived lack somewhere, lack of body, a small lack of natural, where a small presence on the acid sound that would make it disappear.
Otherwise than that, we are far from being in the poor quality is well above the average high, "is making sounds that sounds to sound his guitar" is entirely feasible with this small photo G2.

The clean sounds are very good although it can "beautify" its clear sound with some effects (reverb and chorus flat, which I do).
I think with all effects set to off as it sounds Bypass.

The gate is very effective, really nickel, perfect to remove the unwanted noise, where a little hard to adjust quickly to stop its sound, or completely stop on the sustain (like Noise gate to 15/16).

There is a simulator firm that is correct, it is convenient to have it on hand for the distortions in the G2 sounds ringing on the sound system when we could not help but tap into it.

I could use it with different guitars and different amps.
Strangely where he sounded the best in me is a little Vox Pathfinder 15watts (Very good small transistor amps by the way) on a Tube Amp 30watts upscale, or 100 watt high-end 4x12.

OVERALL OPINION

This is the only multi-effect guitar that I really used, I've had 3 years.
I would say that it's a great little trick to have a backup, or a great little trick for those who want to make the guitar with a good multi-purpose.

Trivia: For a concert where I was supposed to be moments guitarist and drummer at times (I had to bring my drum hardware in addition to guitar), I get (cause: in the car) just my guitar and G2 I had this little set in advance (Simulation Office) as to be connected directly to the PA. Metal was a concert and it went well, it sounded (admittedly with a very refined setting) pretty well as it should.

I would do this choice, for the price, as stated several top: a nice little Swiss Army knife!

Jolie boitounette which has almost everything: drum patern 40 (géniale!) Effects of suckers, modeling amps famous.

All effects are adjustable and so once that's done, you can organize, arranged according to your taste and method of work or for chaining scene. The effects are clean and are what they are saying it was very proper for the price and brand. Some say that it sounds "synthetic" While it's true but I recall that it is the zoom. Additionally you can always add a few adjustments and it runs well like that too.

I find it perfect: small, lightweight, fairly reliable (if not play football with ... I know, sisi ...) and fairly easy to use even if it takes time to read the instructions for sure do not blunder, but once in hand, it goes alone, c nikel.

I blow my own home with drum machines, effects, short, it is the foot, while the AC headphones not wake the neighbors, it's great. I regret a decision to include USB patern or patch. I regret also that the "drum machine" can not engage with the foot.

Finally I found that for 50euro (doccaz) bin is really nothing wrong, it's the little stuff that enables the beginner, novice show confirmed + way to have fun and cheaply.

it is digital! but for the price it rocks!
The metal connector looks pretty good bill.
The editing is done directly on his beast.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use if you have a little habit of hacking devices we do without the little manual

SOUND QUALITY

I used it with a Mexican Standard and strato any original + a Peavey MX everything lamp.
The sounds are quite correct.
There is a multitude of patch on the Net
which often gives a good starting point for editing sound. With you to adapt to suit your tastes and your gear.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this beast for my daughter who started to play guitar.
I therefore in a good dad, quickly tested before offering.
I'm bleufé by the quality of this produit.je have only tested the factory preset without touching anything and already there some way out chose.Le design is super nice, the boiboite looks pretty solid, the small tuner and drum machine are well appreciated for work at home. The tone quite surprising for a pedal in this range prix.Après that remains of the digital sound always sound a bit plastic but quite usable in various configurations for 35 € and hand and all the services it renders it must not even think priver.Je pay me with the expression pedal history fun.

Great value for money!
Good quality connections.
Sound editing is made directly on the device.


UTILIZATION

Very easy to use: experienced people can avoid reading the manual.

SOUND QUALITY

I used it with a Mexico Standard Strat and a Peavey MX all-tube amp.
The sound is fully ok.
You'll find many patches on the web.
They are often a good start for sound editing. You can tune them depending on your taste and your gear.



OVERALL OPINION

I bought it for my daughter who wanted to learn guitar.
Being a good daddy, I tried it out before giving it to her.
I'm impressed by the quality of this product. I only tried the factory presets without editing anything. The design is nice, the housing seems to be sturdy, the small tuner and the drum machine are convenient to play at home. The sound is very surprising considering the price. Of course, it sounds digital but usable in various applications. I'm even thinking about buying the version with expression pedal to have more fun.
