All user reviews for the Zoom G2.1u

already addressed in other

UTILIZATION

The easiest way to start is to go to sites to find nice setup and customize. But it is not too complicated

especially not plug into the entrance of a small all-digital amp VOX DA5 style, it's horrible, it must be connected to the auxiliary input

SOUND QUALITY

regarding the simulation of distortion I use more than to play with headphones, which avoids lugged the amp around when you can not make rustled in her role is rather convenient. In contrast with my amp, I completely forgot about the idea, but there are still some useful effect.

I use to boost the effect of increasing a can signal to the input of the amp to play nasty stuff with my old Marshall.

The noise gate is also very useful for kid saturation
The delay, reverb and chorus are correct.
There is also the pitch shifter effect that can delude D-tuna to lower the pitch of a semitone but it quickly becomes the boiled.

The rest is not really usable

OVERALL OPINION

it has a bit more than 3 years and some technical problem
I have two knobs that one can shit, the expression pedal is poorly designed because by using it, the screw is grave to serve and eventually grind much

for me:
the +
The noise-gate
-Booster

the -
-The knob that shit (there to say what has to travel a lot too)
Hinge of the expression pedal creaking
-Many pointless

but good in the same price range competition is not better then the value for money is good
I advice to beginners and those who do not want to ruin in effect pedal

Zoom noise reduction
16 amp simulation and pedals
Chromatic tuner
Beatbox patterns incorporated 40
Expression pedal
Metal case

UTILIZATION

Multi effects very easy to use, is nevertheless footswitches to manage greatest effects on stage malgrès the presence of an expression pedal.
A convenient USB port for connecting to a computer, pedals supplied with Cubase LE software for recording.

SOUND QUALITY

Very good multi-effects, rich and interesting effects.
Distortions are easily adjustable, flangers have a swipe strip wide enough for the time, it really gives the impression of playing in concert, great for solos.

OVERALL OPINION

This multi effects are well worth price. I would do not purchase this because I have a Vetta II pedalboard. However I advise this multi-effects for every budget who want a large amount of high-quality effects.

See previous opinions

UTILIZATION

Manual use is complex but clear at the beginning to navigate ... I still remembered everything
Some efforts have been made

SOUND QUALITY

I appreciate the use to the extent that I use very basic way without much change the original sounds.
The negatives for me are: the difference in volume from one patch to another that breaks the ears (to the a4 a5 example is anything), we must limit mute the guitar does not explode the eardrums of listeners. Ditto for the volume of the drum: when it starts it thoroughly! The guys making you buggy or what?
Effects assigned to the expression pedal is not all functional as patches: for example to select the delay on the a4 possible through the pedal, so by choice knob, the blow obliged to change back the knob immediately after the piece to be grant or choose another effect: not practical at all
Many simulation models unnecessary
wah wah is not too bad on the a6 (if I remember correctly) would have been better on the pedal because the a6 impossible to pass to another patch in full song at least to take breaks, and yet I speak not of volume of patches!
Big plus for the tuner: the + specific as I've ever known. I even give them that had scratches on my Zoom!
Very good build quality also, the price is justified in this area.

OVERALL OPINION

Despite the negative points throughout the pedal is very solid, I have since 2006 and has never dropped, never had any problems with.
For now I keep it, failing to find better and find better qqchose thought.
The ideal would be to think of the pedals by playing styles which would refine the sounds and make them intelligent +. Who can boast of playing both jazz, blues, metal, pop and acoustic in the same concert? Even I played not by much! I do not play anything violent, especially pop-rock style of Alanis Morissette with my Strat or Jazz with the Jazzmaster. I limit myself to patch a4, a7, a9 sometimes (but I came back in favor of the electroacoustic guitar), coupled with the NR, delay, reverb and vibrato (called Wah / efx). I gave up the drum machine that I was served a little on the small concerts.
The advantage of a multi-effects and not to carry around with pedals and cables 36 + which generate noise. Here it is clean.
Difficult to say whether I will ever choose, but I'm happy I damped by now ...

A multi effects pedals incorporating all the most used guitar ... I have not had a "lack" of a sound ... Except perhaps a small looper, but must not dream no more! There is an exit / entry convenient USB computer to register, although you will not leave an excellent, you can have something very drinkable nonetheless.

UTILIZATION

While the use, or you look over a good move to learn everything, or is left to time and you learn to manage it very simply, very easy to use for myself ... Many pre-recorded sound, a modified abundance, booklets clear sound ... Pedal "grinds" a bit, but I think I know why, and it's not the fault of the hardware ... I'll explain it later =)

SOUND QUALITY

The sound effects really nice, I use it at home, repeating ', and even on stage! I mainly use an Ibanez S420 and I can assure you that I spend little riff heavy metals, a clean very very clean (blues, or even acoustic!)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 years, I'm frankly not disappointed, I had the time for a new € 150, I was more attracted to a Korg (ref:??) that a friend buy more later to find that her not worth this at all zoom. As I said earlier, my pedals "creaking", it has a little squeak when I do the wah-wah ... to confess everything when the scene takes me I stand on the pedal a jump ... and believe me, it's solid! Sounds can be great, it takes a little settle still has some presets that are original shit, but I even the sound of a Flanger that I was looking for so long!
The value for money, it's affordable for a student lovers, or a Christmas gift (€ 150 is nothing today ...) and I believe that the new is around € 120. I resume this Pedal eyes closed!

The pedal is very nice. We can assign almost any type of effect.

SOUND QUALITY

With only Korg Ax1g, I can not make comparisons, except that it is without compoaraison!

The distos are numerous, and excellent!
The clean sounds and the different stereo effects ditto ...
Really excellent, with a huge range of settings!

I use this pedal with a guitar Godin Exit 22.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this pedal for 5 days and I only have fun on presets with headphones.

The range of possibilities is staggering!

The pedal is very beautiful and very strong.
The expression pedal is a real plus.

Comes with Cubase LE digital recording without loss!

Surprenants.Je full effects would not say one thing: nickel,
the limit may be, I is not found on wha wha I am looking for good jsuis m not picky: D! There's that good
You can also register on the pc with the USB connection is too cool.

UTILIZATION

It's true should read the instructions quickly, but even good when not need to be called Einstein.
Manual in several languages: There's even more so franais nickel

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are not too exellents redire.Je 150 plays with a storm, and soon a piphone or Cort, drive amplifier with 30 watts and Marshall 100w.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since January, and if the choice silent again, I Do not hesitate one second, and finally that if I can be a portfolio + pais, jy rerflchierais.
Report qualitprix: Perfect

Not in rvlateur gnral paramtrable noise but only on the 606 with little + and -
Here knob but not so sensitive.
To cut it you must press the two contacts not easy playing
Especially his contacts smaller and moves away as the 606, when you get there in the position he ragi tuner not any a.celui trs pro who does not try to invent.

Quick optional, the FS01 you Vitera to lquilibriste the two contacts
I have yet to try the usb.

UTILIZATION

The FS01 can make your life easier, but unfortunately both paramtrable function must be selected. Atton and continue the small buttons not all pro trs
the manual is clear there is its equivalent on the internet at home in any language

SOUND QUALITY

Effects effective! noise somewhat weak, strong or loud
with an authentic 1963 Fender Stratocaster, also feel more fender stratocaster mexico.
with a marshall amp and a sound-MG100hdfx Supreme 120 full lamps in 1963.
I prefried beautiful sound of two amps and effects original marshall
I cut and I put the effects with a simple gesture of a touch football. The sound has that era the only effect is the trmolo available.
but it is a sound, not a sound.
those I dtest when the zoom is connected, especially in the front preamp
possibly on the effects loop controller for the marshall and it there any one who can illussions.

OVERALL OPINION

I possde zoom g2 1u. For a week jai also a 606
Its a zoom, I do not see or is rvlation, not bad for beginners EST amateur small price
If you even your guitar for fun, go your way, the sound of my (marshall mg100hdfx) is perfect and the sound of my full lights (sound supreme 120 of 1965) when the zoom is unplug.
We must leave it in its context trs amateur, but for beginners good value quality price
if you want at night without samus amp with headphones, a nice toy for a price aceptable.
you shout rvlation, the full of the paintings I do not understand DSOL.

Zoom multi-effects, the next logical version 505, 505II, 606 & Co!
As a former owner of Zoom 505 for the same price range (out of 505), we can say that is the evolution and it does not disappoint!
Level connections: one between an output, a headphone output while the 6.35mm and a USB jack for connecting a computer the beast (the sudden need of food)!
Comes with Cubase LE
An expression pedals that will be perfect for beginners, but be careful not to s'exiter it!
The case is typical zoom but with metal parts, which gives a solid!
Cot fact, you can find everything: Disto (MT2 Famous simulation pedals, marshall pedals), Simulation of HP, cabinet, modulation effects (chorus, flanger, Pitchshifter, octave harmonizer), a section dedicace the chorus and an aut Delay!
WahWah the pedal can be assigned to the volume effects, and has a lot of opportunity to use and configuration!
Finally the icing on the cake: a small box pace!

UTILIZATION

Simple enough for a quick start!
Ideal for discovering the effects, after adjustment level of precision, ca dpendra expectations of everyone! Basically each effect can be modified by three parameters.
The manual is very well done (some ddi Cubase LE) and french!
The buttons are good!
Too bad the pace box can not be dclenchable foot!

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are typs zoom trs but satisfactory for beginners as for those who hsites discovering the multi-effects.
I find the cuts and adjustments effective trs really "fine"!
The pace box is very practical but is in no ditables except the tempo.

OVERALL OPINION

A trs good pedals as said above for those who want to have fun at home or with their group, to use a really intense need can be seen in the range above!
In any case, a report worthy of qualitprix excellent zoom and a great ide to integrate Cubase LE which will be familiairiser with Home Studio!

For 150 Euros, this is pdalier sr destiny to beginners or amateurs dsireux to have (for cheap!) Complet.C a product is done with the G21u!
Solid (well ..), quality of chantillonage expression pedals intgre etconnectique PC / Mac with the cranky Cubase.Pour who want everything for nothing, continue rver.Pour others try.

UTILIZATION

The choice of photo for this G21u makes great in vintage look with its chrome and potars.Le GFX 707 (I or II) silent me more ergonomic, but less strong. Got question ... The handling (or ear) is easy and the document is not superfluous to the full rotation of the gear. Huge bonus with Cubase, which adds another dimension to use.

SOUND QUALITY

If chantillonage is a quality addition qu'honnte, the effects will be variously apprcis. The G21u rclame again in a serious work rglage as the guitar and the amp utiliss.
I play on an H & K tube 20 (lamps) and j'apprcie clean sounds and chorus / reverb.
For heavy distortion, or because the rate of chantillonage thanks must go "allgreto" in rglages not to abuse the NR and break the dynamics of sound.
With the types of amps samples, there is something fun. Rglages audio lovers, hello!
Good for rglages output sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I use the G21u since March 06.Je will keep it for its overall quality trs satisfactory for the price (which would be a resale?) And robustness.
I do not see any other current product offering such a report qualitprix ... for beginners or the less fortunate.

For the money, this pedal is very full, many effects, one can go really far into the details of settings. It has a switch on / off, input and output jack, you can plug headphones into it, very convenient to not disturb anyone, an outlet for expression pedal or footswitch optional and finally a USB output for PC (the pedalboard comes with cubase)

UTILIZATION

The manual is very clear and it is useful to its own set of pedals, editing patches and easy, there is room to create 40 sounds, the pedals already contains 40 factory sounds.
Let's talk about its construction. Therein lies the biggest fault of the pedal for my taste, despite a minimum strength. First the weight of the pedals, too light, pressing the switches and the pedal, it tends to move a bit, then two footswitch are too close to each other, if we not careful, you can press the two together, finally, the pedal could have been a little bigger.
The pedal is constructed of metal and chrome knobs are well made, the look is very nice to a general.

SOUND QUALITY

The quality is really amazing effects for the price, there are many (chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo, pitch pedal, whawha, autowah, booster, ring modulator, slow attack, pitch shifter, tremolo, step, delay, reverb, echo ...)

the amp simulations are successful in the sound cleans crunches or saturated (fender clean, clean vox AC30, Roland JC clean, marshall crunch, crunch fender, mesa boogie crunch, saturation marshall, mesa, peavey, boss OD-ovedrive 1, guv'norr distortion, saturation hot box, and digital fuzz face fuzz, boss metal zone, extreme distortion)

In short, a huge choice of good quality

parameters of effects and amp simulations can be very precise

OVERALL OPINION

If you find a versatile multi-effects and cheap buy for 150 euros you will surely not disappoint!

That says it all ...

Unfortunately, some effects can not be mixed because in the same menu (and ex Booster Wah, Slow Attack and Auto wah...Flanger / chorus / delay ....)

I would say the look is impeccable!

UTILIZATION

The manual is not too much.
A digital display (type korg pandora) shall have facilitated the edition of patch.
The expression pedal is a little too close to the switch on the right.

Finally, in the end it can be done well.

SOUND QUALITY

Well then, I think that opinions have the right to be shared:

I bought a replica being owner of Jackson: I was happy, but the sound was sorely lacking in depth and dynamic ...

Now I use it with an Epiphone G400 (micro humbuckeur Gibson), and it is stunning, all I missed was before!

So, depending on the gear, it is + / - content!

Level effects, booster, compressor, noise reduceur are very effective.
The distos are all quite well, see for Mesa, and Marchall Gvnor.
The chorus, delay, flanger and other are fine.

Finally, I would say that we do it better on the pedal: the 6-band equalizer -> but hard to master so well.

OVERALL OPINION

Well, I'm not disappointed, it is on in relation to separate Boss is a notch below but easier to use with less worry of the effects that placement on the pedal chain, causes noise ...

Quality / price ratio: unbeatable

Psrochain purchase: G7.1ut G9.1ut or (depending on means) ...

Tt has been said ..

UTILIZATION

Bcp's really nice (it goes from joking to his truk super clean). pa quality concerns the switch not be his lack Excellent quality mm in May when much playable. p ^ nice read is the possibility to register via usb

SOUND QUALITY

The clean sound There's a great way to make a huge break with little tete a hack and the wah kind of thing well ac expression pedal is pluto partaique.
Much less and I am disgusted with the rest of the disto! not necessarily very audible fau i i spend time for choza remains far from being good for people who want heavy distortion I see disgusting deconsille rigor has its place on the acute dito pa nn is good but more top!

OVERALL OPINION

Raport money if c nikel "had to be done I think not redeem for this problem of distortion May sinn for the rest nothing to complain

Beacoup effects available, more or less good quality (we'll see later), connectable to a PC for recording (we regret we can not edit effects from the PC, but hey ...).
Registration through this process is very good (especially for clean sounds).
Also has an expression pedal, very useful (but I am not telling you anything) and two push buttons. By the cons ... the quality is not there you: have to do acrobatics to activate both at the same time, and after a year they start messing around (go two effects when pressed once, or nothing at all .. . and it will not happen to me, I know someone who has the same pedal and the same problem).

At the inside, passing between two inaudible presets, you can edit separately (40 + 40 adjustable non-modifiable), drum machine very useful (has 40 patterns, only a dozen are used in practice).

UTILIZATION

Very easy (to push buttons by the famous ...), the manual details all the effects of a comprehensive, one can assign the pedal to several different parameters, nine effects can be put together in series (many choices sound so), while nickel is on that side.

SOUND QUALITY

The AC varies greatly depending on the effects, some are very good (distos cleans, 6-band equalizer, chorus, auto-wah) other very poor (pedal pitch, the vast majority of overdrives distos +). And that's where it poses a problem: having a distorted sound right requires a lot of time to add a certain amount of boost, review the equalizer 30 times, add a delay with low feedback, ... and even after the result is transcendent (not zero but could have been far better).
Proper registration of distos via USB is also a challenge.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year with a Godin LG and a roland cube 50.
Positive side: the sounds clean, the many effects (reberb, delay, chorus), the drum machine, the pedal
Negative side: distos very average, push buttons, some unnecessary effects

But all this must be moderated by the price: the price / quality ratio is very good.
It's good to start on a model, but to discover and manipulate a variety of effects, to find the sound you want, ect ...

If I had the choice again ... I would hesitate really. If your amp chorus, delay and reverb, go your way and you buy separate pedals, otherwise, go y.

Trs good pedal manufacture, reliable and robust, modulations intgrant amp, many effects, an expression pedals. It is also an audio interface with USB port to record the guitar via a supplied Cubase. The pdalier possde also a nice rhythm box.
Points ngatifs / 2 line LCD display does have more user friendly.

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration, it's easy to edit the sounds, the manual is clear and complete. However to use cubase dj is so simple an adjustment period is ncessaire.
Sound combinations are endless!

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are good trs trs except rverbe I like it too much. The modulations are covaincantes amp. It says here that the saturation or are average. I do not agree at all. We must spend some time on rglage and branch of the amp (I possde kustom Quad65 with a Celestion 12 hp) I can tell you that dcoiffe. The wha wha wha wha really is no problem at this level, good noise gate etc. .... I tried Boss ME50, AX1500G Korg and Digitech RP250 ..... well this is my opinion that little zoom is doing better, especially when you push the amp ... not a fart breath., it's magic

OVERALL OPINION

I wanted something full of quality and cheap, I'm not ... dcu I do it again this choice without difficulty except with more money I took the G9 (not the last G7 no big differences with the sound G2).
Trs good hardware
