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.
