Zoom multi effects Pdaliers G2.1U, four knobs, 6 buttons, 2 footswitch and expression pedals
- 9 ditables parameters, including noise rducer, a compressor and two equalizer, a great number of effects trs totally paramtrables (including wah, ring modulator, tremolo, chorus, pitch shifter, harmonize, vibrato , flanger, phaser simulations ...), 16 amp and distortion pedals, possibility of a CONTRL pdalier external
- 60 banks prenregistres (and renregistrables), 20 banks available to record his rglages.
- In connection jack jack, are placed in the pedals SERIES between the guitar and the amp or loop (never tried), USB interface to register with Cubase LE (included)
- Food not included, possibility of operating with batteries
- The pedals are small, compact, and in mtal the most beautiful effect. So on paper a number of possibilities is offered

UTILIZATION

Ultra versatile, its use is quite simple: it is a lightweight adaptation time for the three knobs of rglages do not have the same functions as the chosen effect => it must be in rferer often manual (in french tlchargeable zoom on the site for the unfortunate and those who do not read English or Japanese). But it is the only major difficulty of the bte: you turn the knobs and pressing buttons, there's nothing more silly, and after a while becomes instinctive ca. 9 paramtres can be added: the compressor, wah effects, noise reducer, the drive, the two equalizers, the other effects, delay and reverb. Basically there's plenty to do.
Moving from one end with the other two footswitch: this is something I do not like, because you have to store SERIES effects, but hey, we can not do a PDAL compact set trouzmille buttons above. Any fawn, you can connect an external storage pdalier effects. So use simple trs.

SOUND QUALITY

First it is necessary that a prciser pedals for beginners. If one considers the pedals over all that exists, it forcment not worth the time. Its main quality is that it can reach a little as all that is kind of effect without breaking the bank. This is a big advantage for beginners who do not play Dfine tate and a little while. From this point of view the potential is enormous: with palm mute distortion mtal aggressive, warm clean sound bluesy, fuzz for Hendrix fans and Muse ... Besides the many effects available

gnralement effects are good, but the best and play hard enough to fully appreciate it (playing with the simulation MT-2 low noise level, one can understand really nothing, for example). But do not kid ourselves, if the pros achtent the pedals 150 to 200 euros the effect is not because they have money in too (not always anyway). If you play at home, or if you make small scale concerts, the pedals are nickel. To del it does not hold water, but 150, we do not expect miracles either.

I use it with an Epiphone G-400 and a Peavey Bandit 112 80W (not a big thing so trs). I personally find that the wah is nice (I'm not a big user, functional and I like good), and vibrato trmolo nice strong, the chorus really apprciables (Nothing else matters and come out impeccable Zombie with), the amp simulations trsrussies (I sometimes struggle to find the gain that I want, there's a lot of choice and it's hard to find one that fit best). Another trick that I like: the ring modulator, it looks like an old transistor drgl and nickel is to play the end of karmapolice or something like the national anthem. For large point against ngatif: The pitch shifter is really pourraves (from the harmonizer, and again, it's just): My iron lung, toxicity, seven nation army ... It looks like but it's too metal for crdible ter. Otherwise the expression pedals is trs cool and use some effects on cre modulations really enjoyable.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for Christmas (or 4 months)

Pros:
- Small, compact, easy to use, solid
- Fully programmable
- An impressive effect, gnial to try their hand
- The expression pedals is a real plus
- Cheap for what it offers
- The possibility of s'couter with headphones or an amplifier karaoke (or other something like that)

Ngatifs points:
- The effects are not always good trs (pitch shifter ...)
- The pedals of expression has some sort of grip on it, engraved with the logo zoom. Toujouse There's lots of mud or gravel that do not care about the inside. It's boring force.

I note 8 of 10: report quality is really good price: 150 to 200 euros for a large number of effects, plus the possibility to register. It is, I RPET, a multi purpose Whereas as "Premire pedals": the effects are good but not great either, they go out, they sound good for the most is nickel. If you are a beginners and you can not choose, now I think it's a good compromise between functionality trs quality and low prices.

If I had seen in the context of Christmas and I was looking for a cheap multi-effect, this choice I would do I think my eyes closed. But for a real j'conomiserais pitch shifter, I had the balls when I cost ...

EDIT: APRS eighteen months of intensive practice, here's an addition: although the sounds are fairly decent, I never managed to find exactly what I wanted (but hey, I'm pretty picky), I ' I found that the expression level was found quickly its limits, and finally, resistance level, I have a footswitch that has already blocked twice, both globally and respond only rarely when I ' pressed, and I'm not nag, but I may be soon become ...
