The Zoom G3 Guitar Multi Effects Pedal and USB Interface unites the ease of a stompbox pedalboard with the power of a multi effects pedal plus a USB audio interface. The G3 gives complete control over individual effects and amp modeling for modifying your tones on the fly while performing. An onboard drum machine and looper make the G3 an incredible option for guitarists of every level.
Zoom G3 Guitar Multi-Effects Pedal Reviews
I bought the Zoom G3 for several reasons. I have the Boss ME-50 plus manyother pedals, outboard efx and DAWS. I need something to suppllement the ME-50 (filters, weird stuff,) or go into greater depth for things like Phaser or flanger. Everything overlaps but I also wanted a looper and see how and if it coordinates with the Drum machine. DO I NEED it? Weeeell Overall it is the M9( (line 6) but much cheaper (I got it for 150 mint) For WAY less than a boutique pedal you get almost all the wild pedals you always wanted - For the beginner its a chance to identify which pedals are ur sound for me it's an amazing collection of pedals.I evaluate based on Analog v. Digital though everything is a bit of both - the ME 50 is the best as it mimics pedals - The ZOom is pretty good but Distortion and Modeling sound better thru PA or recording than an actual AMP- The non modeling efx sound great theu anything - there are so manyTry the monosynth, the Combfilter eq, step filters and delays - IIf you want an expression pedal u may want to loo at the ME series as they mimic pedals. has expression pedal and u can run many efx at once (reverb, delay, comp, eq)Neg:1. processing limits so u cannot have one patch with several amps or certain efx2. No expression pedal and exp OR control not both3. Distortions lean toward mechanical if thru an amp (But better than the giant multi efx out there)POS1. REALLY SHINES at user-friendly - the editing software is awesome, IT STAYS where you left it no more constant saving very intuitive2. The knobs CONTROL the big screen this is KEY live or reh - XTs and GTs are impossible to edit on the fly3. Again intuitive system ANY efx in any slot (except processing issues) PRESS TOTAL and change the order or overall volume, Press GLOBAL and edit for entire item 4. The looper is excellent and intuitive- its shorter if use UNDO but it integrates really well with the drum machine (unlike Boss' RC) AND YOU CAN change sounds for the overdubs5. Tempo control, Many choices, so intuitive, software and looper great, easily edit on the spot - All in all this pedal is an incredible value - the WOW comes from some of the range of sounds and tweakability BIG digital screen, So easy to edit (what the F is pre-delay anyway?) knobs buttons, GREAT TEMPO controlFor an amp - use the efx v distortions, for recorrding it all sounds goodProcessing limits, a bit bulky, some overkill but left out itemsWish List - Click track for looper, DIGITAL synth wah, include exp pedal or a small one
