Zoom G2XFour - Pt 2: Going Direct

[@rockindavebyron3960]

This inexpensive pedal TOTALLY ROCKS!!!

[@TSFAHTPS]

It sure does

[@poorbrokeguitarist]

I used Zoom for years. We go way back. I remember how excited I was to get the G7 1ut. The one with the tube. That thing sounded amazing and way better than any digitech RP. I use a helix now but would still love to get that flagship pedal they got.

[@tiomkinnyborg2289]

The G5 also had a tube in it and a 'Z' pedal. It still sounds great even though the pedal broke. Plastic inside.

Expression pedal really helps this beginners unit!🙂

[@jeanoh5623]

now this is a review!

[@dver4624]

Sounds decent, tbh. Much better than the old G2 I had.

[@DavideFossati]

Thank you for the nice overview! If you can pass a suggestion to Zoom: it would be better to remove the "animations" from the screen interface. They just make the interface slower without adding any benefit to the user experience.

Please man would you use Zoom G11 for bass I just wanted to know how was the sound 🙏🙏

[@TSFAHTPS]

I never used the G11 on bass…and it was just a loaner so we had to send it back - plus that was years ago…sorry!!

[@centrumcantal9937]

Hi! Just asking if what would I choose on the start up menu if I'm going directly on a mixer and output speaker monitor? Sorry I'm just a beginner, thank you for your response.

[@TSFAHTPS]

If you are going directly to a Mixer and Monitor you’d select the “Line” option and then all the amp and speaker emulation should be turned on…maybe just make sure to double check patches if they sound funny to you!

I just got mine In today and running It direct to my Zoom R12, but I seem to get some distortion from one side. I turned down the global volume of the G2xFour to about 30 since the two Inputs that I am going Into on the R12 are PRE amped and that sort of calmed down the distortion I was getting. Is that a normal thing, or Is there a better way to gain stage a combo (R12 - G2) like mine? Thank you and may you all have a great holiday season!

[@onealpha710]

Nevermind, I just realized that the Inputs on the R12 are auto senescing (mic/line) so no need for any gain adjusting although I have the gain on the R12 set to as low as It can (+6db) just In case. Getting old xD!!!

I had the g6 returned it the next day Thank goodness I got my refund The sounds quality was bad A pedal that has a restriction on how many effects you can put in a chain is worthless With technology so advanced the g6 is outdated from the get go

[@tiomkinnyborg2289]

All pedals have a restriction on the amount of effects in a chain. The bad thing I found about new zoom pedals is the plastic cases. Plastic cracks, so stepping on plastic is stupid design.

[@manfredworner8528]

@@tiomkinnyborg2289 I have owned many multi effects pedal over 35 years the first such case was empero one and the g6 That I owned that stop me from building a full chain because of DSP shortage before that I have never accounted that before in any other pedals if it can’t do it why build it and yes the plastic is crap

@@manfredworner8528 All modelers are just a custom computer in a box. They have a processor which runs at a given speed. It can do x amount of processing at a time. All of them bar none will hit the wall if you ask it to do too much. Chips are getting more powerful so the limits are being pushed. Older algorithms perhaps were not as demanding, so no DSP wall hit. You can over exert any computer. Try doing 3 video encodes at a time on your home machine. It will slow each process down to keep the machine going. With sound, if you slow it down too much the sound breaks. To avoid that the machine will stop you using certain high CPU models. You were lucky in your chains.

Solo el.zoom.te limita usar más de 6 efectos ,aparte la pantalla sigue en blanco y negro
