Multi effects pedalboard ultra sound: the case is done in a thick metal bar with a central building. It will be difficult to fold it in half.
On the ratings, Zoom has scheduled comfortable rubber bands to absorb the impact.
The digital part consists of a 32-bit DSP and an analog / digital 24-bit 96kHz. To my knowledge, only the POD XT PRO (700 euros) has one. The POD XT and XT LIVE for example, are equipped with A / D 48kHz. I do not know how this works on the final processing of the sound but in any case it reassures the capabilities of the machine.
The analog circuit is provided by a tube preamplifier based on a 12AX7. I did not but it seems that the lamp is very easy to change by loosening the hatch below and we gain momentum still has to replace it with an Electro Harmonix.
The two settings Tube & Boost can boost the sound and give a warm grain. Truly effective where it could sound too cold, the most indispensable.
All effects are editable on the pedals or on the PC screen, much more convenient but you must have a MIDI input / output. It does not work via USB which is used to convey the sound.
Parameter editing is effective, we feel the difference quickly. on the other hand, buttons amps are not quite like the real model. It's a shame if one seeks a particular setting but it comes out easily by ear.
UTILIZATION
Setup is easy via the editor.
For those who want to get patches or listen to the sounds ZOOM G7 / G9 is here:

No problem with that, once installed the editor, it's simple to use, configure it, is recorded.
Note that Zoom has implemented copy and paste: in fact each patch can be exported, imported by a simple copy and paste, look at the site above.
Patches of the G7 and G9 are compatible, there is a converter to switch from one to another:

I have several books in all languages including french. You have to force a read but you get done eventually.

What you ask for?
OVERALL OPINION
It's been two months that I use. And I must admit that I cheat a little for the patches, see my tip. Finally it works really well, and I'm not too used to take my head with the settings.
I like his tough side not even fear.
on the other hand, Zoom would have made an effort on the editor, not too fun.
It's a pity they have not thought of creating a database of patches.
The value for money is very good considering the quality of the camera with features found only in very high-end POD XT PRO.
