MisterGissi « G5 Zoom - a good pedal »
Published on 05/24/12 at 15:17
Value For Money :
Excellent
For specifications, see the previous opinion or the manufacturer's website. The most brilliant of this pedal is the Z-pedal, a volume pedal for example vertically and effects that can decrease (eg left) or increase (eg right). Well, when creating its first patch, it is easy to forget all the configuration effects and also the orders assigned to the Z-pedal. I started listing all of these parameters on Excel to remind me just what I programmed.
UTILIZATION
The issue could not be simpler and it is the first time the issue is almost easier on the pedal with the supplied software, the manual (in French) is very short, which means above all the unit itself is very simple to use. The pedal is smaller and lighter than previous and I find it rather "nice" (great design). The edition of the software provided is a bit painful on my Mac, I find all objects that are too small (well it is already necessary to have the scroll effects the 9 next to each other).
SOUND QUALITY
Matter of fact, I would say that sounds are not really better than G7.1ut or G9.2ut. I started to turn the lamp and put a Chinese 12AX7 Electro Hamonix and there I found my sound gradually the G7.1ut. I almost left the lamp burning with all the patches, because I think this is the quitare with really good sound. I just cut if I want less of attack. I also love the rhythms present (this is basic good) and the looper to repeat such a harmony solo record.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a week and gradually found "my sounds". I think there is a real hardware and software improvements over older cranksets zoom. My only disappointment: I expected more "good" factory sounds, but there I found qu'omn quickly disillusioned. There is work to do. Overall a good buy at great value for money, but disappoint "a little" holders (excellent) and G7.1ut G9.2ut.
