Zoom G2 1u Pitch Shift The Black Keys style Lonely Boy Intro

Hello. This is a quick video on setting up your Zoom G2.1u pedal to pitch shift as in the intro of Lonely Boy by The Black Keys. Half way through the video I call it phase shift, but I meant pitch shift. In the manual they call it Pedal Pitch, but you need Control set to nu as well as Mod set to PP. Here are the settings for the Zoom. This may be the first Zoom patch video in 7 years..lol. I love how the bottom just drops out on that open E string note. Enjoy.

Great info mate! I bought one of these about 15 years ago and used it extensively into an old Peavey Bandit. I went further into modelling setups with the G7.1u (too bloody confusing!), then AmpliTube, PositiveGrid and Katana. Your vid inspired me to dust off the old 2.1/Bandit combo and I’ll be buggered if it isn’t every bit as enjoyable as anything else I’ve got. I just wish I could find the bloody power brick as it eats batteries like they are going out of style.

Good job man. I bought this pedal years ago and I never really gave it much use, you have inspired me to get it out and give it a proper go. I used to play a lot but life and stuff distracted me, lol, keep on playing bro. Peace from Ireland.

Hi Tomas. I am glad you liked the video. This pedal can do quite a bit, but it can take time to go through the setup. I write my settings in a book so I can keep track of them. I have found sometimes it does not like being plugged into a "Modeling Amp" that has it's own effects. (I had an issue with the volume pedal on a Gdec jr.) It prefers just a good old basic amp. Good to keep playing even if it is for a few minutes here and there. Lately I use a drum track video as a low cost backing track. Cheers. Chris Halifax, Nova Scotia. Canada.
