Nice unit. you've got the chops and a decent voice. Bit of constructive advice. Dial back your vocal and guitar effects by about 30% and it will sound much more authentic. Currently they are much too obvious.

Do you still have this amp?

Most helpful thanks a lot

Excellent review!

I'm not sure if it was your playing, or the string height, but it sounded pretty "buzzy."

I have two of the ZAD 900s, the natural and the sunburst. Do not leave your guitar plugged in, it will sap the life from the preamp. Also, it's a powerful pre-amp, never put the volume knob past 3/4 to save the battery.

Hi Michael. So far this is the best 202 video I've found, so thanks for that. I HATE the Boss videos - what's up with NO freaking audio? If you don't already know what you are doing, they are useless. I'm new at all this and just got the 202 and there's a bunch more to it than I thought. Need all the help I can get. Thanks.

Never turn a truss rod more than about one-eight of a turn at a time. Give it a few minutes to adjust...retune, and rinse/repeat. The huge turns you made are as likely to destroy the truss rod as do what you need it to do

Good review, bro. I just got my unit, and being primarily a drummer, I love the ease of use to dial up a tone… I’m learning guitar, and don’t want to sit there for hours trying to dial up a tone, when I could use that time to practice

-Can't wait to see the factory tour video!

Zager guitars are better than pre-war Martins. They are better than any guitar ever built.

“At any age you can always improve” is precious note that I try to hang on to. Frustrating at times, but plodding on in newfound guitar learning journey. You and others here help a lot. Thank you for doing these lessons.

How’s the amp holding up, sir?

now in 2024, what to get? I formally sing,, I am not a guitarist... I play some piano, harmonica and drums.. shall I still get the VoiceLive 3 extreme, or am I better off with the VOice live play or just the 3 as those are cheaper?.. how to think now in 2024 with all tech coming out? thanks! from the Future!

What’s better for acoustic, a guitar mic or a pickup?

I wouldn’t know that it’s not a tube amp. Very cool

Dang, that amp really sounds good!

looks like surf green....

Love the color on that guitar. Great video.

i enjoyed watching this! cheers for the review and great playing! thats a busy tempo and your playing was impeccable

Is it possible to use pedals with this amp?

Good song, could you do that with nothing but headphones ?

Best tutorial I have seen on Zager set up and Aura Pro System. Thanks.

It sounds great at your house, but have you gigged this amp? That is the review that counts for me

It appears Zager has sent out a lot of free guitars to KZbinrs. All Zager reviews sound like this is some amazing secret no one knows. Zager has a KZbin channel, though they don't have the balls to call it "Zager Guitars". They called it "Honest Guitar Reviews". Really? "Honest" reviews posted by THE MANUFACTURER? I can't leave a review of my disappointment, buying and returning a Zager, because their site has no provision for buyer reviews. What's that tell you? Why own a guitar you need to explain or justify when you can own a real Martin, Gibson or Taylor for the same money? I have yet to see a professional musician playing a China-built Zager. (Mine came out of the box with high action and a buzzing open B string)

Good review and insight into your setup and application. I have had this looper for many years and I have used it on and off over time ( I have several loop pedals!) What disappointed me most about this pedal is the limited number of drum patterns! You' d think 40 or 100 would be more appropriate for a unit like this! Also a firmware update that would do this? Anyway - great video and some nice playing.

cool review bro. maybe do another of the guitar?

I'll have to try that later on my own. I have 2 guitars, an 80 and a 900.

The original pickup design on FB's was a unique crossover between the cruder P90 slugs, and a actual mini humbucker.Side by side, it should be nothing like a mini hb, but a P90 with more low end and less mid push.Until this recent release, they've been replaced with standard pickups. Definitely should look to see if they carried the idea over to the electronics; you frequently see that when modern builders return to vintage spec pickups , they use different pots or caps. How is the weight on this model? They frequently have specs all over the map, and make big changes without correcting the literature.Something to keep in mind when ordering any import, but particularly anything Chinese.

thank you for this! Super helpful!

My zad50ce is out for delivery today , think I will open from the bottom.

I have the original voice live 3 that I bought from guitar center in the used gear. Still has the plastic cover on the knobs. I play a Martin guitar. Trying to figure out what setting I want. Is there one or two that you prefer? Also when I tap the harmony button when I'm singing the volume seems to drop down. How can I adjust that?

💞 'Promo SM'

I have the firebird and a 1968 Fender Twin Reverb. On that amp, it is very "mids" forward. Not too much treble or bass - pre-compressed! I can turn my KTR Klon off. It is redundant. With the twin, less bright than a Jazzmaster and less dark than my Les Paul. Just right!

So it can store 2 x 8 x 8 = 128 tracks in total? Can each one of those sub-tracks be assigned the volume to dedicated faders of an external midi controller?

Very nice review I will say it looks like you’re pointing the mic at the sound hole of the guitar which can lead to an overly boomy sound try pointing it between the 12th and 18th fret

Terrible audio, too far

Thank you so much. Probably the best review I've seen for this amp. Much appreciated!

Thanks for a great, practical review! I just bought mine, 2 years after you made this video, and you are spot on!

Great review. Appreciate that you are not a high gain distortion rocker. I am looking for a small light pedal steel amp (Steel King to heavy for church gigs). This review gave me the best feel for what it could do for me.

I like these kinda amps (modelling & fx), everything you need in one reasonably priced box. Got a little Boss Dual Cube lunchbox amp and was also looking at the GTX. Decided on the Boss for home noodling. Yet a Fender amp is always lurking nearby...😅

Regarding recording. I thought you could assign a key to the harmonies so they would work.

Hard and bright, would possibly sound ok with a guitar with mini humbuckers, if you are using an amp that has three ECC83 and two EL34 valves then you will have warm tones that won't raze the ears off of your audience, yes heavy old valve amps but there you are, how do you really want to sound.

I got the cherry sunburst with rosewood neck. Awesome

I just subscribed. I play in a gospel band and the organ is pretty loud. Will this" cut the mustard"?

Sounds like a lot of string rattle like mine.

Hello, I recently purchased this amp for my first electric guitar but I'm wondering if my amp is faulty. Since my amplifier makes buzzing static noises on several preset effects. Have you experienced that? An answer would be appreciated

Hey thank you again for the review of the amp. Got mine last week on sale Black Friday. Love it. This and with my BOSS Katana 100 MKII, great combo.

Hi again, what is the model number of that Taylor guitar? It sounds sweet! I forgot to ask the last time.
