Best value:
Excellent
complete list of effects here: https://www.zoom.co.jp/products/g3/spec/
I think it's editable by pc (usb) although I've never tried,
and it's all digital, no midi (What?) but a jack, a microphone and an XLR to stereo output and an input for expression pedal.
UTILIZATION
it takes the system inaugurated by line6 on m5, m9, m13,
it's like having three pedals in series which could be assigned the desired effect,
we can therefore make a pedalboard standard type drive + delay + reverb and stuff like expés three more delays as a result. Basically, it is about what you want, there are just some effects (like reverb and some HD amp simus) that use too many resources and prevent the use of three effects simultaneously.
In this case the machine does not bug, it cuts just a fact.
Otherwise the issue is very simple, the knobs react to velocity to go from the most precise setting the fastest, it's pretty annoying when it does not rotate to the desired speed is good but not of analog and it has its good points (like set the delay in ms for mania).
And for some effects require more than three knobs, one can access several pages of settings to really refine his sound.
Too bad the effects are not stored by category (like the line6 stompbox). As-and to measure it gets to know the order in which the effects are arranged but you will first make a bunch of turns of the dial ...
Basically it is best to patch as soon as we find her a nice, there is room for that and it's very simple to do.
SOUND QUALITY
That's what interests everybody I guess;
so it complies with the sound of the guitar, it is transparent, there is no buzz except for large distos.
are even distos simus and amp that I find very good (where I was expecting the worst) and respond well to the game
The strongest effects are generally very good standard.
There are just the phaser and flanger that I do not use so I will not comment.
And there are some fairly exotic effects that transform his guitar into electric machine which I'm starting to get a taste:
I love the trigger delay and hold the slicer example synths and effects (in the tradition of the POG ehx) that work well until three strings, beyond what is porridge. The pitch delay is really good too, the group must have a Health equivalent. By linking all that we can create really trippy stuff.
I love it!
But there is one full foot in the digital, to love, and overall it was never the warmth of the analog, although it still maintains a good momentum.
And I feel for having tried playing with headphones (where the quality was really bluffing) it is not all-in-fact optimized for guitar amps.
It is designed for a guitar effect ...
OVERALL OPINION
I bought this pedal while waiting to pay me a real pedalboard piece by piece so I was not looking for the grail, it is not, but it is largely fulfilling its functions see.
I would not be surprised to use it again in ten years to see some effects even for distos.
Compared to what can line6 (I tested the M13 from a friend), I do not see too many differences in sound quality, there is always this lack of musicality inherent in digital (but for how longer?) but equivalent price (at line6 is the m5 which offers much less opportunity), I see no better.
Very good quality / price ratio and the choice I would do without hesitation, in relation to my budget.
