Comparing the Zoom G1X FOUR & the Zoom G2 FOUR

[@dinkeredwards5187]

Ive been using the Zoom g 1 x four for several years now and cant really complain at all . There's a ton of tone's in this small affordable unit that can be tweaked to anything you want..i still dont know everything thing about it and ive used it for over 3 years..Not to mention the software!! I've Tried several others cheap alternatives and keep going back to it.

Good review, I hope you compare Nux MG-400 vs Zoom G2 Four

[@melorogerio]

I'm still using my outfashioned G1on + cuvave for IR. For my taste (and my pocket) this combo still beat both tested in this comparison

[@Tone-Quest]

I still have my G1on too. Great unit.

How do you place a wah? Autowah or dedicated, I imagine.

[@thatguy7099]

you should retry a comparison but only using one mic at a time for the g1x cabs . the 50/50 blend just sounds like phasing issues .

Awesome demo, thank you! I think the G1 four sounds great, but the G2 four sounds more natural and realistic. I'm looking for a small bass multi-effect and I'm torn between the B1 four and the upcoming MS-60B+ (which should sound just like the B2 four). I like how the B1 four works and its features, especially that it also has an app for macOS/Windows. The MS-60B+ only has an iOS app, and I use Android, but it might sound better...

[@PremiumExcelcom]

I agree

[@vinniciusdias2628]

B2 four ❤

[@mungewell]

Like the G2Four, the MS-60B+ has multilayer IR...

[@VeitLehmann]

@@mungewell I bought the MS-60B+, and I'm very happy with it! Feels great and sounds awesome!

[@mungewell]

@@VeitLehmann me too 😀 working on supporting it with 'zoomzt2'.

[@mungewell]

On your comment about IR being matched/fixed to the Amp. The 'ZIR' file is separate, but named the same as Amp.... Maybe we can just rename the files to pick-n-choose combinations.

Excellent review! If i understand correctly, the G2 Four doesn't have a build in Audio interface, and you have to connect your own Audio interface to connect to your DAW in your PC right?

[@Tone-Quest]

@@Soumil-f7 Thanks! You can use the G2 FOUR as an audio interface. It is built-in and works fine but you might need to install a driver if you are on Windows.

[@Soumil-f7]

@@Tone-Quest thanks a lot! And i believe this feature is absent in the G1X?

[@Tone-Quest]

@@Soumil-f7 If you are talking about the G1X FOUR, you are correct.

[@JesusOurKing]

Did you try The Vibe and Octave fuzz? Is it passable as a Hendrix pedal?

[@tarun200727]

What is software name for edit in pc for g2x4 ?

[@Tone-Quest]

Guitar Lab for G2 FOUR, but it is for Smartphones, not the PC.

[@melorogerio]

Zoom G2 four has cabinet simulation or Impulse response?

[@Tone-Quest]

I think their wording is impulse responses.

[@MrAntisound]

@@Tone-Quest yeah they use multiple on different loudness levels, than they let them crossover, to simulate a amplifiers response to how hard you pick your strings..sounds a bit like a doubler to me, was probably not their intention but still..

[@JudgeFredd]

G2 sounds way better

[@yfcvtiybr]

I like g1 much more. Sadly no clean sound in demo. Anyway thank you.

[@ssslayer]

G2x amp models (perhaps it is mainly the cabinet models) is really miles better than G1x models. Soujd much much closer to rhe real amp cabinets

[@alexforget]

G2 sound very bad, are you sure it's in correct settings? Is there a switch for direct output. The G1 sound way better, that is surprising as it's not very good with the cab sim.

[@Tone-Quest]

When the G2 FOUR first powers on, you get a choice of connecting via line (direct) or to an amp. I obviously selected line.

[@diplopenia]

It’s all distortion

[@PremiumExcelcom]

Perfect Demo
