Zoom G3Xn Guitar Multi Effect Pedal

[@fastandreckless]

Fabulous product, I love this pedal, and use it all the time.

[@hectox025]

What amp are you using it with?

[@andrewbutcher3391]

I let a Line 6 Firehawk go and then missed having a multi effects unit so I bought one of these. Less money and sounds really good...smaller footprint and I always end up just using a few tones. The Fender amps which I like are very useable. Thanks for this. Zoom effects are very underrated.

[@Codger1212]

Andrew Butcher I did the same thing but bought a G3. Still a great pedal but I miss the layout of the Firehawk. I am however inspired to play once again.

[@swordofhonor2]

love that clean sound with the reverb.

[@biswajitbandyopadhyay3601]

Pl demonstrate how to get clean sound with good reverb

[@stillbreathing9146]

Excellent demo, best I've seen. Thank you.

[@LuisJimenez-pb3ge]

I use the Recti and the Marshall JCM800 both with a TS pedal and using the RCT cab. Absolutely amazing tones specially for older punk rock and modern pop punk

[@zvoidx]

I don't agree when people claim budget effects aren't comparable to higher end fx. If these.sounds were on a record no one, besides a sound engineer, could discern the difference.

[@jaycoboliveri809]

I agree

[@GATvsGAT]

Totally agree. I’ve played them all and it’s more about the player than the gear. A great player will make anything sound great and useable. Probably debatable if a sound engineer could tell the diff too.

[@johnnycouture2012]

Awesome Demo really showcasing the Power and Versatility of the unit👍👍👍

[@vanderbilt8857]

my favorite part is the talking, i dont even want to hear the pedal. just go on and on all day thats what i was hoping for

[@Allguitarinfo]

Ahhh a masters in Sarcasm I see , just like myself. ..great comment...loved it. almost as much as all the talking .....Rock on man..

[@clouds5]

I use the Bogner Xtasy model for pretty much all my sounds and it's soooo good, so juicy. That model alone is worth the price...

[@LuisJimenez-pb3ge]

I use the Recti and the Marshall JCM800 both with a TS pedal and using the RCT cab. Absolutely amazing tones specially for older punk rock and modern pop punk

[@metallica3604]

great playing

[@mrrichardmedel]

Great job guys. I just purchased one and looking for a good video to explain how the unit functions.

[@roadykin]

I wish zoom updated the g5 with similar download-new-models feature. it feels abandoned, though it still sounds good )

[@scottishwarrior3438]

Not sure what the patch is Enoch, but its definitely the Tom Scholz Boston guitar effect he created as an engineer. Tom Scholz created all his own effects and gear.

[@theconversation9103]

Great licks to show off the pedal

[@yadaventertainment6744]

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="617">10:17</a> processor got hanged .. automatically normal compressor appeared in the first slot... Zoom has this problem.. if not zoom shall ruled the market for tones... And the guy is putting things wrong in the chain...

[@williammolina9792]

Hey. Do you think it's worth to change my zoom G3X for this one. I'm only going to use the modulations. Effects. Like Phaser. Flanger.. Reverb. Delay etc. Through the loop effect of my tube amp. Cheers

[@benallmark9671]

No

[@vulgra]

Just buy an expression pedal, its like 20 bucks and g3n has the control in input

[@flomate5778]

Not bad... Thats a god Video and a god Effect Pedal.

[@rokesrok6163]

How to activate wah? We need to stomp on of the three footswitch or there is switch under the expression pedal? (Like we activeate normal wah)

[@subsahara121]

Be awesome if it ran on batteries as well, shame ZOOM missed that out whereas the similar priced BOSS units have it but prefer the sounds and the fact you can edit the signal chain on this.

[@GATvsGAT]

You can run it on a power bank. You just need a 9v USB to DC cable. Works a treat!

[@islandstrumma242smith4]

Its pretty good !. Very useable and nice quality sound , and from what i understand very reasonably priced ..🍺🍺🍺

[@kvanculutas4408]

awesome levinson blade guitar

[@excuseforwarofficial181]

Can you remove presets you don't like to make it easier to select the ones you do like?

[@JaimeBlanco666]

Yes. Just save over them. Alternately, you can save a preset into an open save slot (there are 75 presets, 75 open slots), and then have whatever you use most frequently in the lowest numbered slots. Hope this helps.

[@martinkuliza]

i just bought a G5n yes you can to say it's fucking awesome is a very very very big understatement

[@RobinLull]

a great video how-to is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnzLl2WkrtOXha8

[@dro3886]

Why did they remove the Marshall 1959 amp?

[@kennethborrett8074]

Hi need help to download Patches especially Hank Marvin and Shadows patches. Please advise on how you do this. THnkyou

[@Petrophski]

Did you figure it out?

[@jithinjose519]

How to I add additional patches on zoom g3xn . I can't find any link on zoom guitarlab software. Please help

[@stefanbabic3567]

is that a song in the beginning or improvisation?

[@tonymediati8274]

To get a great sound for the preamps and cabinets would you need to connect to your effects loop return behind the amp or can you just connect via guitar input?

[@matijabo]

To amp's return. It sounds much better.

[@asskobeler]

You meant to say the guy who would use the kill switch was buckethead : )

[@parbeenpuneet8483]

.

[@mesinbubut]

when connected into fx return what is the best way ? with cab sims on or off ? or just maybe cab sims is on with mic is off ?

[@akatom2u]

ajie infamy recommend using cab sim/mic sim when not using your actual cab and mic. For example when recording directly into a daw or recorder from the Zoom.

[@MeTuLHeD]

Which Strat copy are you playing in the vid?

[@ronzinale]

MeTuLHeD it's a Levinson Blade Sollieri signature. Great!

[@monoshijofficial6339]

Is it better than boss gt 1?

[@yoe91]

Hi. Is this good for recording an album ? Is the sound pure and deep enough for a high quality result, recorded ? Thx.

[@DrivingGod04]

Sounds a lot brighter in the video than irl

[@alexlinkinparkful]

Does this device works well with an amp Fender Mustang 1 V2?

[@merjanjavier508]

Whats the difference between g3x and g3xn??

[@royeaston6067]

The pedal.

[@patricklong9227]

This multi effects pedal looks super sick but confusing as fuck!

[@bfunirfeyh5822]

It is lol I have one and still trying to work it out 😂😂

[@rveurope]

How can I give a new patch a name to find it back? Like 103 = turn into "Rock" or so?

[@RobinLull]

the numbers dont change but when you hit the menu til you see the save function, scroll to save and select, then it asks which # to save to, then you can also name it (choose patch and then name). This guy shows it well- (scroll forward to about 7:32 on his video for that section) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnzLl2WkrtOXha8

[@CarnageNetworkUK]

When is a developer going to concentrate on the effects and bin the amp modellers/simulators? Some amazing sounds in this but the modelling side holds me back from trying it. Many players alreadyhave a good amp...

[@taypkaz]

Or you can just leave the modeller/s out of your effect chain?

[@sid35gb]

Switch them off

[@liamnick023]

Can you yiu use a wah on the pedal?

[@MetalHeadHippie]

Can you tell me how the headphone setup works on this ? Can you just plug in headphone in the back and play? without using and interface or amp. Just the guitar and the g3xn.???? Help.

[@kennyfoster655]

Metal Head Hippie You can, but you'll need to be using an amp model in whatever patch you're using to get it to sound good... and don't skimp on decent headphones.

[@kennyfoster655]

Metal Head Hippie depending on the size headphone input you might need a 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch adaptor.... (guitar cable end size to ear bud end size...)

[@MetalHeadHippie]

Yes its an 1/8 jack I understand that thanks. But I'm asking how it works within this unit itself. Thanks.

[@kennyfoster655]

Works great... as long as you use one of the amp models within the unit it sounds awesome thru headphones... no external amp or interface needed...

[@MetalHeadHippie]

What head phones would you recommend ? I'm looking at the Sennheiser 280- 380pro or the philips SHP9500. Or what do you use if any? Thanks for getting beck to me. Helps appreciated.

[@hamslam2003]

Does anyone know the patch that is used in the beginning song?

[@f93278]

does the paddle work as a Volume paddle or Wah paddle?

[@guitarzzzz1]

Both

[@Multi1251]

I can recording in my laptop Whit this pedal board ?

[@rockna6644]

with g5n you can

[@mirazahmed1796]

does this pedal can be use as a master volume??

[@Schniggi]

can somebody explain to me if patches for the G3n also work for G5n? Since both use Guitar Lab i thought there might be no issue.

[@bgm9517]

the one issue you might run into is the amount of fx possible on one patch. Which the max for he g3n would be 5 or 7 if you're not planning on using an amp sim, or 9 to 11? fx (G5n users can you confirm is his is correct). Apart from that I don't think you should run into an issue

[@akiretto]

I have one. It's important to know that it doesn't work like external soundcard. Why????

[@michaelmargono]

it was never marketed as an external soundcard smh

[@akiretto]

Michael Margono You right. My "why?" is not because they said "it's a soundcard" but why they decided in this way.

[@reidlingtheseedling]

Is there a way to run this so the 3 function switches don't shift through patches, but turn on and off effects within a patch?

[@joemcjoe8382]

That's was one of my questions. Looks like you can but maybe the effects have to be next to each other in the chain: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6ilYXmpaMiInq8

[@beermtb]

Can't get mine to link up to my pc to download the latest patch. USB connection doesn't work.

[@ScanProAudioTV]

+Beer Mtb Rick had his hooked up to his PC here, it's definitely possible! Does it show up in device manager?

[@andromedasiddhik2792]

Hello, i used to cant connect to PC too its turn out they need to be on adaptor if you want to connect to PC

[@rayparthapratim]

The g3xn usb port is just used to download and save patches. The g5n usb port can be used as an interface

[@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE]

Sounds great for the price!

[@eggybaby84]

I want one, but i need to see a 'looper' demo. first. Do you have a video for the Looper. I want to use the pedal in a live performance scenario (open-mic's) so i'm hoping i don't have to 'double-tap' to stop the loop. I want to replace my RP-500, which only has a 20s loop memory :-( .

[@kennyfoster655]

I have one of these and the looper is actually very useful... no double tap required... seperate buttons for "play/overdub" and "start/stop" the loop volume level is also independently adjustable relative to your main signal... you can even set the loop to FADE OUT instead of just stopping short if you want... only problem is you cant save loops (once you turn the thing off everything goes bye bye...) the 40 second loop time is nice though... but if you want to engage the "undo" feature (meaning you can undo the last layer you just added) it reduces the loop time down to 20 sec... I've used it live at acoustic gigs I play for certain songs and it gets a great crowd reaction... ("wait, how's he DOING that???) Lol the average non musician thinks its magic haha....

[@eggybaby84]

Thanks, nice review, i'll get one for sure.

[@eggybaby84]

Hey guy, thanks for the tip. However, i bought the pedal and have been playing with the 'Looper' and the only 'stop' option i see is to 'double-tap'. Is there some hidden option somewhere you could tell me about to make it a 'single-tap'?

[@eggybaby84]

i think i found it, but it doesn't work if, for example, i want to record my 'loop' for use later in the song. Say for example i want to record a 'Verse' part in order to have ready to play later with the Solo. If i start recording the 'verse', then single-tap the 'stop', it kills/cancels/erases anything that was recorded. What i want it to do is to; 'Record' the loop, single-tap 'stop', but save it for when i need it later. I don't necessarily want it to playback immediately, and having to 'double-tap' the stop button doesn't lend well to a live performance.

[@eggybaby84]

It's a cool pedal, just not what i was looking for. Concerning Loops, it also doesn't save the loop if you want to switch to another 'patch' (i.e. Record a clean rhythm, then switch to a 'solo' patch). It does let you turn fx on/off but only within the patch you recorded the loop in.

[@amosdangsa6072]

How to set 8 dotted delay????

[@SiDadiBong]

That's a different story lol 😂 they need to drink more beer to explain

[@butzbravo6096]

Made from where

[@joeb.3388]

That Scooby Doo strap though haha. +1 like

[@littlebritain64]

Hi, may I change the position of the effects and use let's say two delays instead just one? Thanks.

[@alexandrohernandez61]

Yes

[@enochmusicetc9795]

What was the patch or what were the effects for the intro? The one that utilized the expression pedal. The one that sounds like an oscillator.,

[@scottishwarrior3438]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGLGYXWulLinrKc check it out!

[@chicopiola6582]

this pedalboard or the G5XN? .... help me please teachers :c

[@longtartisso2806]

It can chain up to 6 patch .. Not 7 😐

[@leegriffiths8927]

what home mini amp would you recommend for the g5n ? I've been looking at katana mini or blackstar fly.

[@sid35gb]

Lee Griffiths Orange Micro Dark then you get a real tube in the preamp 😉

[@pauldave8317]

How patch distortion n zoom g3xn

[@lukeonn]

My expression pedal doesn’t activate when I press it down?

[@henrydouberly3950]

Darn, did you send it back and get a new one

[@fisioman]

There is a Button under the foot but you need take off the piece of Eva and the foot will work

[@FrankDisco86]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="720">12:00</a> you don't do the Tom Morello kill switch effect with a pedal. Blasphemy.

[@jackbaroso6237]

For delay effects. Is the delay sound will continue to play even if you switch it to another patch/effects (just like BOSS DD7)? Thanks for the Answer.

[@ak342593]

great demo!

[@arkhamparadise1319]

the riff on the start reminds me of a song, anyone know what it is?

[@rap6858]

dude it bothers me that i too cant rememberrr

[@singularity9182]

Though it is one of the most budget friendly guitar multi effect processor.Dont buy g3xn" guys instead go for g3n".After using g3xn for a year the inbuilt expression pedal has started having problems. Using the "wah " effect and the" pitch shifter" has become a nightmare. Have tried calibrating the pedal and also resetting the unit but still these effects sound like a "slicer effect with fluctuating repetition of the wah" even though the pedal is only pressed once. Have also contacted the support team hope they respond to my mail. I have been using the unit only indoors for personal use and the chances of getting the unit pedal dirty is out of the question. Will be posting a video concerning the problem on my channel..starting to regret choosing "g3xn over "boss me25

[@hossamalex6657]

i need advice pls what shall i buy i have already ibanez grg170 dx so line 6 x3live or pod 500 or zoom g5n???????????????

[@rveurope]

Another one, got one of these, how to better connect to the Amp? Via effect loop or Direct in?

[@stephengperez]

Just purchase my G3XN today and was expecting that this is the latest model of the multi-effects pedal from my previous G3X. Now when I reach home I connect the USB to the laptop just like how I did it for my G3X to start recording through the MEP to the laptop apparently its not how it works. My question is. Is this G3XN can directly record to the laptop or not?

[@eric_018]

Nope

[@jackbaroso6237]

hi sir, which is better G3 or G3n? and why? thank you

[@vladimirtheman]

G3n is the latest model. It has more sound, option to download effects and amps etc.

[@rhitosparsha]

+Jack Baroso The G3n is the new model, so obviously they've improved the quality of the effects. What has been lost is the FX loop and the XLR output. Also, they've most probably done away with USB recording.

[@luis0tube]

does it work with batteries?

[@thennardgarcia1591]

luis0tube it has no batt🔋💔

[@desvelado66]

I would thank you so much an spanish tutorial.

[@Tabula.rasa.abracadavra]

should I get this pedalboard? I play in a small venue (can be filled with my 20w mustang 1) and I need more flexibility on my sound whilst playing live and still being able to get really specific sounds at studio. I read this have a software and USB connection, so. should I save money to get it?

[@KennethDonnellyStargazer21]

Try one out and you will know...these zooms are the bees knees, love them, capable of so much

[@paramediccpo]

John Mayer sound on this

[@limebucker1317]

that expression pedal can also switch to wah effect?

[@hysterheister0947]

lime bucker13 yes. It has many effects, and a few different types of wah

[@arkavagoswami3068]

reduce ur weight n u'll look exactly like james het,

[@islandstrumma242smith4]

I have a boss me 80 and it costs a bit more but this thing still sounds good and can get u thru most gigs , wat else do u need unless u just want high end gear so ppl can drool over your stuff i guess!..

[@tmt7912]

any drum?

[@mikelopez7286]

Does this zoom g3xn have a c harmoy effects in this unit

[@johnmedeiros3763]

LOL So much talk i need to see what it can do & the Drum sounds & if it has USB so i can connect to my Laptop so i can record

[@billrand4138]

can you dissable the amps sims??

[@miguelcuevas6861]

Bill Rand yes

[@fetfuel]

some one help me g3xn or g5n

[@rhitosparsha]

+Jason James Depends on a lot of factors. The following questions may help you: 1. What is the budget? 2. How many effects do you want in the signal chain? (G3Xn- 6, G5n- 9) 3. Will you be using it in your pedalboard, or as a standalone unit? 4. Is size a constraint?

[@fenderstrat6519]

Got mine today the book it comes with is complete bullshit. Had to KZbin it to learn how use it lol. But it’s pretty sweet.

[@ryleitdept]

I love this model, its design for desktop and using bare hands to stomp on it 😂😂

[@Proganaut1989]

Poor guy pressing the buttons ....he is all over the place

[@lolzlarkin3059]

[@brandonr7008]

lolz larkin those high contrast cheapo screens keep the price down though. They look good enough. better than the awful green on the axe fx lol

[@100roberthenry]

zoom 'presets' suck big time.....who on earth makes the presets and who allows them to go on their pedals lol.....they must be deaf.

[@jeevansarmah]

why don’t they cut the crap and start talking business already,,

[@Malcolm701]

A demo of little use...

[@longtartisso2806]

It can chain up to 6 patch .. Not 7 😐
