Wish you turned up the decay on the first couple of reverbs tho!

18:24 ... the Bomber effect? I wonder how many people use this. I wish they'd just ditch it and replace it with something else LOL. I have it on my old Zoom G10n too. I'm seriously looking at getting the Zoom G1X Four (the one with the pedal). It has some new things over the G10n including better layout of buttons and more knobs for adjustments and some new delays and stuff (and "LoopRoll" sounds like it might be interesting to have ~ 'allows you use the footswitch to sample and hold what you play').... I think one thing I wish they had kept was the 'particle reverb' which apparently isn't on the new one. Another slight annoyance is that cabs apparently are now separate (so they take up one effect slot). On the G10n, they are just a setting in an amp model.

Reverb and chorus are individual effects. Presets are usually collections of several effects all working at once. The way to get what you want is to go into edit mode and create a preset that contains just the reverb and/or chorus.

Also, does it have a true bypass feature? Thanks!

Will this sound mickey mousy on a live stage situation, rather like perhaps it would of been better to spend extra money on something more realistic ?

[@gearfacts]

I guess the first thing I would say is that your audience probably won’t be able to tell the difference. However, you probably will and that might be slightly annoying when you’re performing. If you’re looking for classic sounds maybe have a look for something made by Nux. They’re still cheap, but they focus much more on the tone rather than the very-wide (and fun) variety of features offered by zoom.

[@Wooburnmusic]

@@gearfacts hi and thankyou for replying, this is the answer that I was hoping for, it makes good sense, I will be looking further into Nux effects, needing only reverb and delay effects without all of the rest of the flavours, strange to say that the last 20 years or so of live gigs were covered by an old zoom 1201 rack effects unit and very successfully, ( bought my house two and a half times over ) yes it had all of the usual umpteen settings but the reverb and delay was perfect, just a one knob operation left for short delays and right for the more spacious stuff, only needed to turn around and do a one second tweak here and there for different numbers, so easy ! Yes I did take a serious interest in the Strymon Volante for a while but there is so much on that unit that would take me another lifetime to learn when the Nux ocean reverb and delay is all that I really need for effects with my Boss laden pedal board is still going strong after very many years of live gigs lol !

[@casenowie]

The Zoom G1on and G1Xon (the models before this new one) have got an Organ effect. These pedals will be even cheaper now the new G1four is on the market. If you want to buy this, get the one with the expression pedal (G1Xon) so you can adjust the speed of the rotatating speaker of the Leslie Box fx that's also on the pedal. It has a fixed slow and fast setting with a ramp up and break effect.) The organ effect is not as convincing as an EHX B9 or C9 pedal but as a texture in the background of a mix it's oke.

[@gearfacts]

This one seems not to have a a specific 'organ' effect like the G1xon (as Case Nowie mentioned) but it does have rotary effects and Univibe, so it'd be easy (and fun) to construct a good organ sound with it :) Gearfacts

When this pedal was released I received many messages from people talking about how important it was to activate cab simulations, which are defaulted to OFF when you buy it new. Crazy! So I made a video specifically about the cab sims, and I made this video so that we could all hear the absolute raw sounds. It's all part of one big comparison :)

[@fanpage5244]

The Cab Simulator is turn off ?

[@gearfacts]

Glauco Nascimento The video is showing each effect on its own. I’ve made other videos showing full presets, editing and good tone :) Gearfacts

[@MQI991]

Hi sir, is this model have autoswell mode? Similar like g2

[@gearfacts]

There is a slow-attack effect, but it doesn't sound as good as using a foot pedal for volume. Not as smooth. Still works though

[@Blond0Sonic]

Hi, are they grouped in different folders just as the G1on? To simplify navigation. I watched some videos and itseems they removed this feature but I want to be sure.

[@gearfacts]

sort of - they are in alpha-numeric groups

[@bastianmaoro8278]

Improvements of the effects from v.2 MS-70cdr firmware? Thanks!

[@gearfacts]

I personally couldn't tell any difference. GF

[@LoganSanders1]

No Reverb effect?

[@gearfacts]

Yeah there are lots of reverbs to choose from, this demo is more about modulation effects :) #gearfacts

Dude all product i want you got a review abouth it you are the shit!

Haha best comment I've had in while, thanks MK! Please share the channel :) #gearfacts

Does it make any difference compared to the effects of zoom g5n ?

[@gearfacts]

Not greatly. GF

Nice review. Is this one come with built-in USB Audio interface?

[@gearfacts]

It has USB but you can't record through it. Gearfacts

[@chitkasametananankul2896]

Thanks a lot.

[@fedpic79]

Check out the Zoom GCE-3, it's another device they released for recording!!!!

[@samholik8127]

Does the expression pedal work with every effect?

[@gearfacts]

No, not all the effects respond to expression.

[@poyakhajei2585]

hi, I have a question in this multi-effect can you chain 2 modulations like (flanger AND phaser) before or after each other ? pretty much I mean can you use 2 modulations at the same time? also 2 drives at the same time?

[@gearfacts]

Yes, you can stack up five modulations in a row if you really want to. And I often do :)

[@gearfacts]

Same with Drive sounds

@@gearfacts thanks so much for your quick reply 🤗😀❤ I Realy want to get floyd's and gilmour's tone 🥺❤👌 Currently I am using bias fx and bias amp 2 in PC It helped me so much to simulate their albums and getting gilmour tone I am from Iran 🙂 Trying to convince family to buy me a multi effect If it could have been line 6 pod hd500X it would have been beyond amazing But 🙂😔 as you might know in Iran buying something even used is too expensive as our currency values NOTHING Sorry for talking too much 😅❤

does the delay have tap tempo?

Only in edit mode :) #gearfacts

Is the stereo chorus and vibrato included in the default effect patch?

Yep :) #gearfacts

g1 four have synth mode ?

I have not seen any synth effects on the G1FOUR yet :) GF

Have it a master volume?

[@gearfacts]

Yes, in the function menu.

[@benziegler6889]

I recently watched another video on youtube regarding this pedal... and i don't own the pedal and by no means am I an expert. But if you are direct recording and not sending this pedal through a normal amp/in front of an amp then it is critical your cabinet models have the "mic" switched to "on". Even when testing individual effects you HAVE to have a cabinet model when direct recording and have the "mic" setting effect switched to on to get a good quality tone. You probably went through a lot of effort to make this video and I may be wrong but this video is a little bit misleading. On the old g1on model the cab sim was set "on" by default. Which is perhaps why I saw in an earlier comment you made thought the g1xon sounded better than their newer model.

[@gearfacts]

Well, y'know, the video was just meant to show people exactly what effects were there rather than just reading through a list. It wasn't intended to sound 'good', it's just meant to be a document. I uploaded about 5 other vids about the pedal, so i think I covered it pretty well. Thanks for being friendly about it though, I've had some some people really lose their cool over this :) GF

[@benziegler6889]

@@gearfacts Yea haha my bad... I was going to delete my previous comment after I saw you had made a whole video regarding cab sims and turning the "mic" on or off. cheers for the reply and good content. Do you still believe the predecessor zoom g1xon is better than this pedal?

[@audiostudiocreativo4981]

You forget to turn on de ir cab

[@gearfacts]

That was deliberate.

[@bobbuyse2817]

Are these all effects on the new Zoom G1 four version? I have a Zoom G1.

[@casenowie]

I have a G1Xon and 3 minutes into this video I see a lot of new effects on this new Zoom pedal.

[@beatnicksodyssey]

I love the simplicity of the G1 and it still sounds great today in my opinion. It gave more options than the 505 series, but still kept it relatively simple. I also like how small it is, it doesn't take up much space in my room. I have newer pedals, but currently I'm using the G1. And, yes, these are all from the G1 four and give you more control than the G1. It's a plus and a minus for me, because the more control I have, the more fiddling I do, that's why I like the G1.

[@casenowie]

After watching the whole thing there are some fx on the old G1Xon that I don't see here like whammy, Leslie sim and stereo delay. I find the expression pedal realy great on mine. You can controle fx level, fx rate, delay time etc (only 1 at the time.) Zoom usually come with a free update after a while where they add some new fx so let's hope they keep doing that with this pedal.(@Beatnik reminded me of that)

[@gearfacts]

Yeah I think they’ve improved the dynamics on some effects too. Gearfacts

[@gearfacts]

Ah yes, I’ve always believed that limitations breed creativity :) Gearfacts

[@candrabalimirage]

Thanks a Lot bro ! Your video is really Helpful 😊👍

[@gearfacts]

Thanks Candra :) GF

[@beatnicksodyssey]

Pretty nice. I didn't see pitch delay. That's one of my favorite Zoom effects. Kind of a poor man's eventide. Of course, Zoom has been known to add more effects later.

[@casenowie]

That's what I call my G1Xon as well: a poor man's eventide H9. I also missed some fx like the Leslie sim, stereo delay (when you put a mono fx after it in the chain, L and R become parallel fx so you can do the Brian May Brighton Rock delay thing!) and whammy

[@beatnicksodyssey]

@@casenowie Yeah, I do have both the G3 and G3n and there's a lot of cool effects you can play with. Both do have the pitch delay and you can have 2 next to each other so you can get that Steve Vai Ballerina 12/24 sound. This sounds pretty much the same as the G3n. Currently I'm just using my older G1, but now I'm considering pulling the G3n out again.

[@casenowie]

@@beatnicksodyssey Hahaha, that's why I bought a second G1Xon to do the Vai Ballerina thing (still can't play it but the sound fx is there 😂)

[@casenowie]

Just found out you can hook this up to your computer and use the Zoom Free Guitar Lab Software to find and create/edit more fx (more fiddling but I like it)

[@beatnicksodyssey]

@@casenowie so I just found out, this does not have a jack in the back for an expression pedal. You need to spend the extra $20 to buy the G1x four if you want to do any effects that require expression. And I can't play Ballerina 12/24 either. I love messing with that effect though.

[@marcalving1753]

Sold! Thank you mr.gearfacts!

[@gearfacts]

Have fun, Marc :) Gearfacts

[@taketwo-e5u]

All sound the same to me with just different drive levels.

[@gearfacts]

That's pretty unexptected ... There were flangers, phasers, various kinds of chorus and modulations ...Maybe there's something wrong with the audio here...

[@taketwo-e5u]

@@gearfacts No, nothing wrong with the audio its just the sound chip. I have the Zoom G3n which I think is the same with more features. Example: the tone of the Marshall 800 (MS 800), Orange 120 (Org 120) and the Xtasy Blue all sound the same. Where as in my Digitech RP360 the Marshall 800 and Orange 120 sound like different amps as the would in reality. It's my only complaint about the Zoom products otherwise they are pretty good. What I am trying to say is you can change the tone but they all sound the same even if you add cabinets and pedals.
