All user reviews for the Zoom G9.2tt

The main one is the simulation of pre-amp, adds to this a range of classic effects.
Three pedals assignable expressions (but limited, see below):
Left: Volume
right: a pedal but two axes! the top plate rotates horizontally (ability to block mechanically included)

The idea geniale in my opinion:

is available at the input of two knobs, one for the lamp and a rate for the transistor rate. If both are zero, no sound. One can decide to have only the lamp, the transistor or a mix !!!

and it is same as output !!!

All this in a heavy but sturdy metal box.

USE

Pretty simple to use but not necessarily intuitive.
I come from Boss (gt-6), it seemed clearer.
Spending home studio live requires some mods general, nothing nasty if you know where you're going.

The least: the assignment of pedal expression is reduced to a few parameters. You have a very limited choice compared to a Boss example is just ridiculous.
So innovation but pre-configured, standardized.
Fortunately there is an effects loop ...

SOUND QUALITY

The first impression is mixed with headphones but it comes mostly from the fact that the possibilities are enormous, long labor for his home studio.

But on an amp ... THIS IS THE BIG SLAP !!! AND IN ALL STYLES !!!!

I Stratophile, 3 single microphones; for blues okay but for the metal ...
Here I take my foot !!!!
I board never afford config lamps and now I understand
that as long as we have not tried it you can not understand.
This really is another world, like spending .wave 3 * .mp3 to 10000 bit floating-point !!!

If the effects are precise but wha-wha out I find no interest in expression pedal. (Yes I do my boring)

NOTICE GLOBAL

A year of use.
I board probably got lucky with the sort of lamps for
I much shoves a Tonelab (c rico okay ^^).

I do not regret the purchase but without pedals version of exp I would not say no.
This would have allowed a more ergonomic layout in my sound chain.
And for the same price to a higher sorting tubes in all pedaliers!

My advice: try the model you purchase.

A lot of things have t say ... But the characteristic that enchant me was the opportunity to play without effect and without simulation. For the sound of my amp just.
Another good point, the names of the amps are clear and inchangs, no need to refer a listing to find out what amp are talking about. It is pleasant.

USE

Quite simple, you have to dive into the manual to go a little further in programming. But the possibilities are gnial.

SOUND QUALITY

So l ... I must say I n'tais not a convinced simulators and other numriques effects, I found the sound cold and dformant sound.
This is the sound of the pass is stunning in quality (realism, I do not because I do not know ... compare each amp).
I changed the lights to turn the same as my amp and the sound does not undergo any change.
Is happiness because the possibilities of his infinite GOOD SOUND.

Small bmole in the factory sounds there and take leave.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I test Line 6 pod pro, xp pro pod, vox tone lab, tech 21 GT6 boss, I have always been of the sound reproduction and the impossibility not to simulator. ..dropoff window
I pass by the analog pedals, nothing but repeat his ct ct programming, you have to tap dance ...

Excellent qualitprix, when looking at the number of pedal it takes ... Ms. changing lamps ...
I remake that choice without hsiter.

Having a Marshall Stack and array of boutique effects pedals for your guitar seems to be the ideal way to go to get that immaculate guitar sound. The problem is that unless you have roadies attending to your every whim, bringing your 4x12 cabinet, JCM800 head, your set of pedals, patch cables, etc. is a logistical nightmare. It’s always best if you can just plug in right away get the sound that you want through any amp that’s available wherever it is you’re playing. The Zoom G92tt has provided that answer.

One of the most attractive features of the Zoom G9.2tt is the presence of two 12AX7 tubes. Zoom designed each of the tubes to function differently, with one being in the “accelerator” section and one in the “energizer“ section. It seems to me that the “accelerator” section is the preamp while the “energizer” section serves to emulate the sound of a power amp, especially when the pedal is used as an audio interface. The “accelerator” can amplify a guitar signal through a tube circuit or a solid state circuit and even blend both. The energizer section has a knob controlling tube gain and a boost control for added highs and lows. All in all, both the “accelerator” and “energizer” sections provide a wonderful palette of tones for all sorts of musical applications such as a warm jazz tone, a crystal-clear solid-state clean, saturated tube distortion for metal, and others. The analog-style controls provide that real-time control and feel that users of analog pedals have always appreciated.

UTILIZATION

There are a number of amp simulations available in the Zoom G9.2tt ranging from emulations of Marshall JCMs and Mesa Boogies to cleaner sounding Fender and Roland Jazz Chorus imitations. You can assign two amp sims per patch, and one can switch between each amp sim using the A/B switch. The amp can be also be switched off or bypassed via the pre-amp switch. Each patch can host a chain of up to four kinds of effects: wah/EFX1, modulation/EFX2, delay, and reverb. These effects are obviously used to shape the sound further than what the two 12AX7 tube circuits and their controls can provide . While the default mode of operation is in patch mode i.e. each patch having a unique chain of amps and effects, it is also possible to operate in a more analog style using the manual mode. In manual mode, each switch acts as an on and off switch for every kind of effect along the effect chain assigned to a particular patch.

The Zoom G9.2tt has two assignable expression pedals, one on each side of the unit. The left expression pedal usually functions as a volume pedal by default. Because the left pedal is assignable, it means that it controls parameters digitally. The downside to this is that when switching patches, the Zoom G9.2tt goes to the patches default setting rather than keeping the supposed volume level as suggested by the pedal. I do think that it would have been best to have assigned the left pedal to control the Zoom G9.2tt’s master volume instead of being assignable. The right expression pedal has what’s called a Z-axis function. While the left pedal only moves up and down, the top part of the right pedal can be swiveled left and right, enabling users to control two parameters with the right pedal. For example, you can assign a wah for the standard up and down portion while assigning a pitch shifter for the Z-axis pedal. The right pedal is in effect two expression pedals stacked together!


SOUND QUALITY

Zoom G9.2tt is a multi-effects pedal, audio interface, and MIDI foot controller all rolled into one package. This is one of the reasons why I bought this unit in the first place. I have been using the Zoom G9.2tt for the past 9 months for both studio and live work primary as a guitar effects processor. It’s of great benefit that I can choose to record guitar using the pedal itself as an audio interface. It can record at a 16-bit/48-kHz resolution, sufficient for recording guitar parts using any DAW software. The Zoom G9.2tt can also be set up as a MIDI foot or pedal controller. The unit can send and receive MIDI messages through its MIDI in and out ports. For example, you can control switching scenes or loops on and off in Ableton Live or control virtual guitar amp software like Guitar Rig or Amplitube using the Zoom G9.2tt and a USB-to-MIDI cable.

OVERALL OPINION

The Zoom G9.2tt is a very versatile pedal that can offer all sorts of guitar tones you might want in a single package. It certainly is more convenient than bringing in a bunch of pedals, an amp head, and a speaker cabinet to a gig. Matter of fact is you can just plug your guitar to the Zoom G9.2tt, plug it’s output to any amp or PA that is available at the venue where you’re playing, and then just start rocking out. The sturdy metal casing coupled with rubber contact surfaces provides a good degree of comfort that it will withstand many gigging situations. I do think, however, that the pedal can be better if it had a looper, something seen in other multi-effects pedals like those released by Digitech. All in all, I do think it is one of the best multi-effects pedals that I’ve ever used.

Pros:
- Multipurpose functionality
- Tonal flexibility care of “accelerator” and “energizer” circuit
- Choice between patch and manual modes
- Two expression pedals (one standard, one Z pedal)
- Over 100 kinds of effects and amp simulations available

Cons:
- No looper function
- Volume reverts to normal assigned level after switching patches rather than staying at volume suggested by volume pedal position

A range of effects and modulations quite staggering, all editable, modifiable with a whole bunch of equalizers, noise gates and so on ... Anyway! Manuel STRONGLY advised to use this pedal as it should.

Modulations are mainly analog but two lamps can add the beans and a "tube amp" button on your belongings.

There are normal audio inputs and outputs, made MIDI and a system of "looper" which really is not one and I unfortunately never really managed to understand ...

In short this pedal is a gas plant where everything can be hacked in his small adjustments, maisis at the same time offers a range of preset patches ranging from fairly complete clean up big, mushy metal.

In addition it has two pedals that can be assigned to all modulations. The second even offers a dual effect since can be used both vertically and horizontally (it gives free rein to all fantasies as a more or less friendly or weird!)

UTILIZATION

Right out of the box just plug in the power supply, his guitar, amplifier or headphones and press the buttons and let the music.
Many patches (lots 5 different sounds) are available with the use of two effects pedals.

on the other hand soon sought to tamper, hack, tweak regardless, grab the manual. Almost all the sound settings are adjustable through many knobs and a fairly complete equalizer.

Besides the assignment of effects pedals, one of which boasts a vertical and horizontal axis (attention to the balance when playing standing )


Once all your manipulations made it very simple to record your sound in additional patch designated for this purpose.

SOUND QUALITY

For sound quality no complaints, never had a pest or tunnel effect and other problems with sounds either on the amp or recording.

OVERALL OPINION

I used this pedal for 5 years and have never asked me worry! I was afraid that the plastic parts are fragile but she endured the dust, moisture, cellars, bars, moves, changes his violent and other métalleuse turpitude without fail.

I had more zoom, the sound was less accurate and more basic use.


Most least:

+ His biggest quality is diversity! We almost do everything with little if we take the time to look THE sound that makes us tick.

- The problem of all is that in a case of trouble it's "curtain, thank you goodbye." And as I'm not a virtuoso and I did not need to 5,465,147,874 different sounds I took the time to look one by one pedal and other modulations that allowed me to get back my Song Grail and thus avoid the risk of not playing at all in case of slight damage (which is me again ever happened elsewhere ^ ^)


With the experience I would resume this pedal, I would put him at least in the face and I planquerais in a beautiful box for the scene to keep it as long as possible.


Its value for money? MONSTROUS! € 300 for nine of diversity, reliability, eccentricity and other ameliorative adjectives "é" worth the shots.

I had to spend a budget of more than € 450 (5 pedals, power supply's, wiring and manufacture of pedal-board) to re-obtain its my favorite. (Clean and overdriven)

Great product with great opportunity config for a custom sound or otherwise. Many patch available on the net via USB with the possibility to set on the zoom G9.2tt.

UTILIZATION

Setup is easy, although I was a novice in this field.
Everything is configurable, the manual is very clear if you take the time to study and all effects are adjustable at will. The software provided by Zoom allows easy editing via the pc and the transfer is easy and fast.

SOUND QUALITY

Having replaced the original lamps by Electro-Harmonix, the sound is not that much better!
The sound is warm, and quality!

OVERALL OPINION

Good product for my taste, but be careful because this model defects ....
For me after two months of daily use the pedals are rendered more of her ....
After a salty invoice for € 120 replaced after looking for an amp-ops worth less than € 1 by the VAS service in MILONGA, after nearly two months rebelote, the pedal is again down. After searching the net a lot of people have had problems but is was still under warranty.

see other descriptions

VERY solid building

noted that to make a little proud service as midi controller (to use AmpliTube, guitar rig ...)

UTILIZATION

I put a lot of time to understand everything before forcing me to read the manual, it is well done.

What is practical is that we do not publish their patch with 3 buttons like some small pedals, we have for example all the panel to adjust the amp "as a true" with gain / vol / bass / middle ...

I used to live only minimize my gear and clutter.

The pedals are convenient, the pedal is shifted to the side, it is sometimes useful, but often I do configurais to be simpler.

SOUND QUALITY

I used to rock on a les paul, with a clean one side fender well or if the dose pre-amp is really successful with a slight crunch on some attacks, and another a typed marshall plexi that was effective, though less flexible than the fender clean.

There are a lot of other successful amplifiers must always dose the lamp does not saturate it too.

Question effects it really has a wide selection, and always quite successful.

The overall sound is good enough in terms of quality of live, on the other hand I've ever been a fan for recording.

OVERALL OPINION

I used four years, he has seen it all, and still works.
If you take the time to properly configure your sound presets is great, you have a multitude of sound quality at your feet, and it does not move.

Today I went to the light amplification and analog pedals, and this is ultimately more complicated to use.

The only problem in my opinion is that I can not just plug it into the tube amp as the lamp preamp distorts the pedal (in my opinion) the sound of the tube amp.

Today, for the simple config is the foot.

all types of effects
editable via the editor has to download free on the manufacturer
hybrid technology for digital warmed by two 12AX7 input and output
connections fairly complete MIDI, usb, 2 output jack, mini-jack

UTILIZATION

very simple to use, clear manual, edition not too complicated so long as it looks a tad over sy, factory presets too load effects but it should be for showing off ...

SOUND QUALITY

suffisaments realistic effects to be useful in many scenarios
I've used with different guitars, amps in transistors and has even had lights and I was very satisfied with the result every time

OVERALL OPINION

I'd had three other models of different brands before but never had I been as n versatility and malgrès that they displayed as much effect on a roughly similar price I have never also was convinced that with this one.
very good quality / price ratio, the others had good ratings but often it sounded synthetic sound, or even unusable once its cardboard
no doubt I would do this choice

everything has already been said I think.

UTILIZATION

Many say that the use is complicated. Personally I find it very simple, two days after the operation of the machine is included. The manual is clear and very complete.

SOUND QUALITY

Ben that's why I have chosen: the sound! The effects are to die for as they are excellent. Having tried the vox and multi-effects from home to home boss, there's no comparison. It's very well done for.
So I use the pedal to complete my Blackstar HT-5 is a bit basic functionality issue. It lacks a little punch for its metal. Coupled with the lamps of the G9 and the effect of compression and eq, the sound is pumped! I am not speaking here of the fat but not quality but a TRUE metal distortion.

Otherwise preamp side is very good. it will not make a miracle, but the modeling ca pummeled the competition.

The wah pedal is sublime are both practical as well.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few weeks, I had a little trouble with at first. The factory presets are really bad. I bought OCCAZ but if I buy it at the nine I have done so without hesitation.
I bought it with lamps electro harmonix grafted on. To say that one of the lamps origins are not good at all. I do not try the boards so I can not talk about it.

The pros:
The His-
The His-
The sound-
The two-pedal
The design-

The -:
The knob settings for the influence of the lamps are not saved in presets. Very annoying.
A slightly more ergonomic desktop would not have been refused.

Purchased shortly after its release and still compete for the GT10 upper hand .. and in terms of good smooth saturation, zoom was very hard ... With the change of LAMPS (tungsol hotrod and for my part) is very strong flexibility.

UTILIZATION

I often noise .. may be due to my wiring but I found the noise was variable from one day to another on the same patch.

The lamps are effective and can be pushed - the days when the sound does not move hehe, sounds modern and vintage are the beast.

With a good sound system is really very good) and it works as impeccable live in the map.

SOUND QUALITY

I play rather large saturation with increasing Epiphone 57 Classic, a JV Squier and Brian Moore i7, the guitars are very well respected!

OVERALL OPINION

5 years, I always have fun, I order via the PC interface and tears for sounds prog rock hard metal blues jazz fusion.Ca must also walk the r'n'b soul funk but I do not know lol how to play ca ...

Impressive!
a range of effects any better than the other!
you can have exactly the same sound as Santana, COBAIN, OFFSPRING, SLIPKNOT, HENDRIX .... thanks to the patch implemented!
super distortion (extreme.)
Use of lamps, desktop analog
ditables patches, connectivity via USB for use CUBASE
MIDI, AUX IN, PHONES ...
Pdalier super enjoyable
2 pedals for ffects

UTILIZATION

In beginners, it's a bit complicated because the manual is in English!
APRS if ca is relatively simple: you select a group of patches and a BANK, which assigns one of the footswitch and it left my kiki
It's a bit ngatif the only point of this beautiful beast ... because if you do not understand English well, we must be patient to know how to use

SOUND QUALITY

HUGE!
Modlisation Dual.RECTIFIER Mesa and Mesa Mark III, as well as H & K TriampMK2, AC30TBX VOX, MARSHALL, FENDER '65 Twin Reverb, PEAVY .... among many others!
effects of the cot was the BOSS OD1, the Ibanez Tube Screamer to, the Fuzz Face, The Digital Fuzz, MXR The Disto +, the famous KLON CENTAUR ...
basically a bank of effects in a breathtaking numriquement talking, talking and sound!

It's true, there are effects that are not used ...
Personally, I often use modeling Mesa Dual Rectifier, the '53 Fender Tweed Deluxe, but the distortion Extreme both the acoustic effect trs succeeded when I do not want to leave my Stagg!

Here then, are enormous sound, never had my sonn MG100 like this!
I almost forgot: prsence effects for re-create exactly the Tiber instruments SANTANA, Kurt Cobain, OFFSPRING, HENDRIX .... testing, I rest BABA

OVERALL OPINION

Well, the price now!
455 new! it's expensive but hey that's great! 2-3 good pedals (MXR example) are largely the price of G9.2tt!
Report Qualitprix amazing! One wonders even if you do not top the Anarch ZOOM
sounds enormous, good modlisation amp transistors and lamps!
if it breaks, I buy another so it is good!
At first I was left for the BOSS GT8, then the VOX, but finally I had to trust DCID Zoom, and test the technology! Russi bet!
if not I still look but you can download on the site, the presets already done everything to put then on the pedal via USB .... L

Nothing more to ask for this device.
All effects are found registered with preamp

The case is very important in connection with the sheet attached to the box and not before tenuent directly on the card (PCB)

It's tough

UTILIZATION

As for the sound management if you have used another zoom is the same mentality and you have 1 hour all inclusive.
If not arm yourself with patience ...

The manual is actually in English in al box but you have the option to download the leaflet in French via a PDF file on the official site of ZOOM ... I consil you anyway.

In general use the double pedal is great especially if you play on stage, you will not have to choose between "volume" or the "wha wha!"!

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are issuent the latest microprocessor to zoom.
The sounds are very very réalistent and you will find your happiness anyway.

OVERALL OPINION

I just bought the G9 2TT after playing for 4 years on the pedals before zoom9000 then a Korg A5.
In 4 years it seems little, but the difference is huge between the two zoom.
sound, techno, robustness.
I had big problems connecting to the previous zoom transoprter has the force of the pedal in concert, I wanted something solid and it is true that the g9 2TT is very strong but be careful it is heavy too! !

The G9 offers us every kind of basic effects and others a little more original, all in very very good quality.

All metal, very solid, a bit heavy (5.5 kg) but really this is just dtail.

The digital lamp (lamp findable anywhere just great for our ears, and keeps fully the identity of the guitar (this is the first multi-effect I know of that meets both the instrument.

Everything is ditable (manually or by PC), parameters etc. .. etc. ... and double equalization would find daunting, and allows an excellent tweaking your sound.

3 expression pedals, a left and a 2 in 1 right (the pedal moves horizontally and vertically)

The connectors are complete, it yammer insert a loop (extra parameter) between a guitar, 2 outputs, 1 headphone (watch for big jack), an insert (eg mp3 player) and a Midi in / out, and switch!
Note there are two switches, to paste your material (active or passive guitar etc. ..) and a USB output.

It comes with Cubase LE to be able to save to your PC (note, not too old PC)

I does not 10/10, because of the large between headset jack.

UTILIZATION

It is not sold with the Manual in French!
But you can download on the official website www.Zoom.co.jp and editing software patches Computer.

The manual is very clear, it looks like it but it reads very quickly.

The edition of the sounds / effects is also very easy, but there are so many possibilities of its refining, that beginners can get lost, but sincerely, it's nothing.
Small pitfalls for the edition of Wha-wha, after choosing the style of wha you want, we must 'assign one of the pedals, if the effect wha does not work (it's a con )

Can be assigned by all four effects pedals, please follow the manual to avoid galleys 30 minutes to find out why was not what you want, because the assignment of pedals is not easy the first time ( With the opportunities we can understand why) but because of a, I put 9 / 10

SOUND QUALITY

Nice surprise, the three different "Noise gates", it really is not obliged to bottom for the "buzz" is reduced, thanks to an excellent sustain is kept and the quality of sound is always as good.

There are all the distos and / or preamps of legend, and his live sound, even with the basic sounds.
They are usually by 3 (the clear, its crunch, its distortion) which facilitated the homogeinit settings and cohere over between different sounds (those who understand the scene).
The little "big" +, are the lamps that gives the body the whole, the sound is really good and pro, the frequency corrector + equalizeur allows the refinement of a beautiful sound.

Effects like Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Reverb, are genuinely good, nothing wrong, it's perfect.

Wha-wha the different are also very realistic and beautiful, and it is possible to modify the curve. on the other hand, it is necessary to assign an effect pedal to hear what was given, otherwise if you do not assign, you will not hear the effect.

I used the G9 with a Fender American Floyd with Di-marzios, and well, I redcouvert my guitar!

The sounds are really prcis and quality, I play heavy metal (Maiden, Metallica etc. .. etc) and my group was rather "blues and rock n 'roll," you will do the G9 Play! because all the sounds are present!

OVERALL OPINION

I did that recently, but is so much possible, that in two months I'm still discovering my tips to refine my sound.

Warning, this is not a multi-purpose category "toy"! if this is your first multi-effects, you may be a little disconcerting to ....

What I like? sounds and even the sounds, effects, etc etc. .. look above And it meets 100% G9 instrument !!!!!

It's been 15 years since I played, I had Zoom, Boss, Korg, Line6 .... I have tried many products etc etc. .. and that is the product that I've been waiting 15 years lol!

Boss does not give me the quality of the sounds of G9 or Korg or the Pod or Pod ... XtLive The G9 is a bit superior.

I would do if this choice? Well, yes, and twice that!

Everything is on the website of Zoom but if I were to summarize:

- Rather flattering appearance, solid and heavy (very!), Effective ergonomics, I soon found my bearings.
- One hundred effects, so it makes good 80 too much for everyman
- 100 presets for both factory and user editable via MIDI software available on the website of Zoom
- The signal can be "colored" light input and output before / after scanning and it is not just to read the manual the night
- 2 expression pedals with a pivot on two axes and which are assignable to the envy of almost all the effect parameters.
- The connection is rich but it's still a foot, not XLR, TRS, or S / PDIF output. Cons can be recovered by the digital signal into USB, but it's not as flexible.

UTILIZATION

No worries for use but as always time you win a monster to deal with its presets via the editing software. Otherwise some settings such as the assignment of expression pedals or chaining effects may be a bit complicated.

No French manual in the box towards the net for anglophobes.

In practice it turns, the transition from one preset to another is instantaneous, the hotkeys are many, no worries in live use. One little miss, little lights are so international that it is difficult to read the next parameter to which they are linked, especially if it's a little dark.

SOUND QUALITY

It sounds, background noise is well controlled on large distos, the grain of the amp and the personality of the guitar are there.
The range of sounds available is large and homogeneous, and the effects credible enough for me.

OVERALL OPINION

After two weeks of use, I do not regret my choice. The whole is consistent and perfect for my use.

To have made many comparisons with other pedal I would summarize it this way:

- The GT-8 offers far more effects and tendon ducts but quickly digest and are definitely too ditos BOSS for my taste
- The Tonelab is the rope and even pass in front of his bright / crunch, for against the Zoom away on large saturax, there's no picture
- Pod XT Live is not enough metal for me and directed to pay extra to have simus amp suited me a little cold. Besides I find the sounds of G9 generally more credible.

Only drawback, expression pedals have a switch to enable / disable the effects assigned but my copy must be added to allow a small wedge to the joint between the cross and the pedal switch, which is a little spot on a beautiful whole.
