All user reviews for the Zoom G2.1u

Trs complete multi-effects there is ample enough to cover a wide range of sounds trs
The effects are not ditable via the computer and it is a pity because the system does not include editor of a tiny screen symbols and 2 trs is not clear without the user manual
Technology numrique quite impressive for the price ...
An output from a USB outlet control for an external expression pedals ... minimal but tasteful

UTILIZATION

the edition is simple ... it turns a wheel is changed by the effects of bank effect and adjust the settings and then password has the following effect ... It could not be simpler ... The editor 2 letters does not help the clarity of this compact but good reading ..
The manual is useless document is not enough if we want to get into the dtails must be tinkering with the same bbette to test ..

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are bluffing for a camera in this price!!
the distortion rocks are beautiful, not aggressive, with a grain trs cool ...
The tips mtal understand anything but I did not ... Packing
The simulations of acoustic sounds are of a standard fire of God!
The harmonizer haha! Dmentiel it is: just a quick killing .. (I have a digitech 2120 artist and a cot is a big shit harmonizer cot ...
It lacks a bit of output gain on a table from my Digitech lamps ...

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this little short multi effect for me not lugging my rack of 50 kg each RPET and work quietly home, but the sound quality blew me away!
Not a breath, a beautiful grain trs, effects galore, simulations of acoustic ENOORMES, a harmonizer and INTELLIGENT FAST .. I think I'll emproter with me on my sets ...
The black dots of the beast:
edition sounds difficult, as difficult to read of his passing .. 1 by 1 foot .. If you want to use live DIFFERENT necessary to calculate the sequences of a patch ... I think it is not for ... it must pass the upper range with several banks used ..
multi effects I've had a lot ..
the first zoom 505 ... ME50 boss .. pod of a live Calixtus, a pod express (a dung) of pramp JMP1 I currently digitech 2112 upgrad that sounds pretty but digital technology old America ...
the choice is excellent considering the fact that I was looking for a PC interface with 2 or 3 sounds too rotten ...
I end up with something that will make me work sounds, patches in order to win in my little scnes ..

I would not return to this point, see other review for this

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simple?
The grip is a little difficult at first, but soon finds himself in the various buttons.

The manual is clear and sufficient?
Yes. Despite the list of effects of plant and the manual configuration of Cubase LE 4 in English, the manual is very clear and complete.

Editing sounds and effects is easy?
At first, we must have the manual handy, but in 2-3 hours it manages.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough
Yes. The whole thing is to have a headset or amplifier of sufficient quality, which was not the case with my old amp
(I changed to a Behringer).

Which instruments do you use?
With my guitar WS low end (it comes with a guitar and amp pack).

Which ones do you prefer, you hate?
I have not had time to try them all but the Pedal Pitch Shifter is excellent.

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?
For nearly two weeks.

What thing do you like most/least about it?
Plus: design, the tuner and the ability to directly connect a stereo headphone jack on the output.
Less: Cubase LE 4 (at least on configuration)

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
For 122 € (in Euroguitar) is excellent value for money (for beginners like me).

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
No, that one. I asked the salesman Euroguitar with a multi-effects pedal, chorus, flanger, delay, wah-wah and overdrive / distortion. He immediately advised me that and I fell in heart.

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
Maybe I would buy the model above.

Digital pedal, solid and rather pretty, with a USB input jack for an expression pedal further.
Cubase provided.

UTILIZATION

It can be overwhelming at first, but frankly it is taken in hand soon, all the same indispenssable manual.
We spend little adjustments in settings with ease, the trick is knowing the organized.
I like being able to register by connecting to a computer, I have not explored how software pushed but it looks nice.
In short it makes its settings, they registered and were then organized and go.

SOUND QUALITY

I use an all-tube amp, a lot of effects but very few are exploitablent, it rolls over a bit of all styles distos, certe versatility but do not just push it very far, let me explain:
It is very useful for all beginners in search of his sound and playing style, it helps to find her way without having a very good sound quality, digital what ...


OVERALL OPINION

This really helped my pedal, I use it for 4 months, I find him a really nice distortion, very good value for money.
I advise beginners, others can spend their paths.

See all other reviews.
I will not repeat what others were so well described.

UTILIZATION

Ultra simple to use machine
editing is done without its problems
the manual is clear enough
One little quibble about always reading the screen not always clear
enrollment size, the buttons that are used for everything but for the price
I said we should rather shut his mouth.

SOUND QUALITY

Machine hallucinating that provides a range of sound in the foot to approach a lot of his favorite guitarists of our without breaking the bank.
Again one little quibble about the artificial saturations and colorful digital effects but because the initial investment is again rather close to its bouche.On happens when RATM at itself through VAI SRV or Hendrix, ACDC and many other again and all that with a single machine.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it only for a few days.
It is fairly well made and very complete. Tuner and drum machine in prime.Je think it's more intended to mumuse at home for the stage
or so in addition to other equipment.
Super convenient for a lazy who wants to cover the clubs and who do not want to lug around tons of stuff to touch his cacheton.
What I like least is the travel of the pedal a little short for my taste, pressing both switches simultaneously to switch accordeur.Rapport excellent value for money I think I'll me to deliver a pallet.
Before this one I paid for the G2 to my daughter is what I decide to buy G2.1U
ZOOM is short and they have made good progress!

(Originally written by vinc59600/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
Nine simultaneous effects

Jack input

Mono jack output for an amp or stereo for headphones, mixer or computer.

USB connector also used for power supply.

My dealer said the external PSU is optional (I had to bargain to get it for free).

Integrated expression pedal assignable to each patch.

Connector for an FP02 expression pedal to control the volume (optional).

40 factory presets

40 fully editable user presets.

UTILIZATION

Short learning curve.

Fast and intuitive editing, no signal dropouts when you change presets.

Easy and precise user's manual.

You'll have to edit the factory presets because they don't sound good.

It won't take you long to get the sound you're looking for and you'll be surprised by the power of the device.

SOUND QUALITY

I play rock, funk, pop, a bit of everything.

I use it on stage and for rehearsals but also at home where I connect it directly to my PC. It's sweet!

You can connect it to your amp or to a mixer depending on the setup.

I use it with a Fender Strat or a dual-neck Ibanez, and with my 100-watt Yamaha combo. I get a wonderful fat distortion. Chorus, reverb and delay effects sound amazing.

The optional FP02 expression pedal is not necessary but quite convenient to control the volume.

As I said before, you'll have to edit the factory presets to get the sound you want.

I can get the sound of The Edge, Andy Summers, Knopfler, and even Gilmour.

Only acoustic guitar simulations are not convincing. And some effects are only provided to show off the power of the unit.

OVERALL OPINION

I owned a G2 two years. Four months ago I gave it to my son who plays in a hard rock band, and I bought its big brother.

Before buying it I tried a G7, but the value for money isn't good so I ended coming back to the G2.

I just had to transfer all the presets I had created. I love the fast editing for stage and rehearsal applications.

40 presets are enough for almost any application.

Excellent value for money.

Based on my experienced, I would buy it again.
