Zoom G2Four - Pt 1: Into an Amp

[@allengoodwin7043]

Had my g2xfour for about a week now. Love it. I've always used multi fx pedals, and tne mistake a lot of people make with a multi pedal is feeling that they have to use all those different options. There's nothing wrong with a preset with only one pedal that you turn on and off, like distortion. Just because you can, doesn't mean you have to. The point is that you have the options for all sorts of things. You want a basic clean/distortion sound? That's the first tjing6 you need to program. You want to sound like this song, or that song? You can, and if not, you can get pretty close.

Absolutely!!

Congrats for this Amazing demo. Sold! The screen is old fashionned and would have been much better with some colors. Can you confirm a real improvement with 3 layers IR in comparaison with the previous Ms50g which I love?

[@TSFAHTPS]

@@thierrygoli4271 never tried the MS50G sorry…

[@thierrygoli4271]

@@TSFAHTPS g2 four received today. Hudge sound improvement brought by the multilayer IR technology. Couldn't manage to make the preselect mode work. Not well explained on the used manual. Once you have preselected the patches, noone explain how to go from one patch to another preselected. Too bad.

Have a question regarding what was said at 1:35 . So, in G2Four amp and cabsim is a single block, Have I understood it correctly, that if you select AMP output, under the hood it disables only cabsim section of this single "amp+cab" block? I.e. preamp, defining the overall character, remains, but no cabsim.

[@TSFAHTPS]

@@borisv8766 yes…as far as I know! There isn’t much info about that and I even asked our Zoom Australia contact but I’m still no wiser…but I’d say that’s what that is for…so you pick whether you want cab sims or not…would be a kinda pointless feature otherwise?!?

[@borisv8766]

@@TSFAHTPS good. Then it means you can use it with external cabsim pedal, and not limited to their "multi-layer IRs" thing.

I really dont understand why they didn't just upgrade the innards of the current G1four and G1Xfour instead of discontinuing them and discontinuing the G3N, G3XN & G5N. It actually looks like its less user freindly than the aformentiond G1 series. The idead to be able to scroll back and forth with foot switches during a gig is what it needs, not buttons! Is this actually a foot pedal or a hand pedal?

[@TSFAHTPS]

I think they are meant to be buttons/switches that you use with your foot…it may be a little tricky, depending what kind of shoes you wear…but you kinda get used to it after a while

Does the delay have a tail Option?

[@iamleandrino]

I liked it, it seems honest

[@delivrance3961]

very impressive tool!!!

[@RecoProsperodelosReyes]

Can you demo making a patch for sweet child o mine by GNR using that G2 four? I ve just bought my G2 four, but I have been having a hard time setting up the guitar effects using this rig. .tnx a lot

[@jorgegoriberg3732]

Que diferencia hay entre este pedal y el zoom gxn3?

[@bluessumlin...7067]

Great sounds! Better than I thought… Zoom guitar fx have a real need to move forward for example get rid of the archaic user interface imo! I have the Zoom G5n which l used for many years but certain functions need vast improvements. Was not impressed by the G6 or flagship G11 perhaps better to come!🙂

[@user-gs2nq3rs8l]

Who builds this stuff that makes my head hurt trying to figure out how to run these things a million miles an hour don't help either

[@TSFAHTPS]

Just take your time and go through it step by step…once you get your head around it it’s actually pretty simple to use

[@Craig52-zq1bt]

Stupid. The amp was already in overdrive before the pedal was used. These guys have a very bad habit of that. Total waste of time.

[@TSFAHTPS]

I don’t think the amp had any overdrive whatsoever…we never actually show you the clean sound! If you are going by the very first sound you hear that’s already a preset on the Zoom! You can hear what the amp sounds like when you skip forward to the ‘modulation’ section at 11:25 …it was a really clean amp!! You really wasted your own time here!!
