Zoom G5 Multi-Effect Gitaar Processor Review | Bax Music

Meer info: bax.sh/op/AJXT44
Veel gitaristen nemen een apart pedalboard mee, met verschillende pedaaltjes die op een of andere manier in de koffer vastgeplakt of -gemonteerd zijn. En daarnaast zijn ze vaak met wat korte jackplug-kabeltjes aan elkaar doorgelust. Zoom dacht, dat moet ook anders kunnen. Daarom heeft Zoom de G5 ontwikkeld. Een relatief compacte multi-effect processor, voorzien van verschillende stompbox-simulaties om u keer op keer iets nieuws te kunnen bieden.
U maakt zelf uw favoriete opstellingen en kunt hier eenvoudig tussen schakelen, zonder dat u uw hele pedalboard opnieuw hoeft te patchen! Daarnaast fungeert de G5 ook nog als audio-interface, waardoor het recorden van een gitaar-sessie in een handomdraai gebeurd is! De Zoom G5 is voorzien van 100 interne effecten, gebaseerd op de meest populaire effecten uit stompboxen en rack-effects. Tot 9 effecten zijn tegelijk te gebruiken!

[@learnerlearns]

I really like your style of demonstration. You give enough information, then immediately start scrolling through a number of settings with minimal talking and well-played examples. Zoom should thank you since I just bought one of these today, largely due to this demonstration. Best wishes Sir.

[@Quipstiley]

Agreed, I was on the fence to either get the G5 or wait until the Line 6 Firehawk is released next week. I'm going with this after watching this Bax product demo.

[@baxshop]

Thanks for your positive feedback, we hope you still love your Zoom product!

[@boythedrag148]

i like exactly same as you Learner-learns.

[@bilalnachabeh]

@@TML0677 bought one few days ago, great pedal :D

[@claudiu3005]

I made the best decision of my life when I bought this wonderful pedal. It has everything I need, very versatile. It has everything from warm vintage overdrive to modern hi-gain distortion. Thanks for the review, Harry, this was really a big factor on my decision to buy the G5.

[@meulia]

Harry, I decided to buy used Zoom G5 (so hard to find today) and skip the newer G5N because of you. Super thanks! You are the most thorough guitar gadget reviewer so far.

[@hotchow8766]

I came for the ZOOM G5 demo but I stayed for the effortless display of musical skill. Thanks, friend. Thank you for sharing a little bit of your life with us.

[@mugginsdot]

Harry always does the very best review/demos of every music related product and is a fantastic guitarist!

[@fanclub999]

I can't stop watching your demo's, the purchased the GT 100 now I want the G5 :) I also put a deposit on the Yamaha Pacifica 611 root beer colour arriving in January '14. Thankyou Harry, Merry Xmas from Australia cheers Harvey :)

[@xogmusic]

Thanks Harvey!

[@davidw2298]

You do the best reviews I've seen. Very comprehensive and well explained. Zoom G5 is definitely on my wish list. Thanks and g'day from Australia. :)

[@clipscene4988]

This. Guy this video,, always recommend KZbin,, bring back this guy on your channel.... Really good.

[@voltgrant1569]

Damn. This video sold me my old G5, I even wrote to Harry to thank him for his honest review. Just came here to say thanks again and to say that if anyone wants this pedal: it's a great choice.

[@baxshop]

Yes, see the website of Zoom, last sentence! The G5’s Looper capabilities include 60 seconds of phrase recording and overdubbing. The “sound-on-sound” function allows you to layer guitar sounds as many times as you want in real time and use looped sounds as simple backing tracks. You can even create a “full band” feel with the built-in drum machine and DSP effects for a live solo

[@SaccoBelmonte]

After two years using my G5 and comparing to other solutions I'm very very happy about my decision.

[@Danyel76]

Have used the G3 for some months, very good multiFX considering its price; now I'm using the G5 in the send return of my amp and it's really awesome. I love it. Good work Zoom.

[@MusiCaninesTheMusicalDogs]

What you played to showcase the looper is too damn great, dude! I'll definitely buy one of these!

[@alexnismachin]

Hi Harry, I am from Brazil and I thought Paul Riario was the world's best reviewer guy until I met you. Your demo's are rich in details and I dare to say that you are the best of entire KZbin and you a wonderful musician.!!!! I really enjoy each of yours reviews. Thank you so much Harry. Are you american ?

[@xogmusic]

Hi Alex, thanks a lot! No, I'm from The Netherlands!

[@kh485]

I think this thing is a bit underrated. I'm getting some solid tones out of this thing with some clarity. You can hear some of the useful patches from this video. The interface is better and easier to use than the podhd desktop which I have tested thoroughly. I think the sound of the zoom is very good, as is the PodHD. Both units have software editors which are simple enough to use to get most kitchen sink sounds. The zoom has a nice boost pedal feature and nice virtual stompbox "on the fly" editing capability for only four effects in the chain. If you like to experiment with more fringe and unusual sounds the zoom may have more to offer. Individual boutique stompboxes are great, but this offers tremendous value, portability, reliability, and ease of setup.

[@baxshop]

The G5 is for those who want all the different effects in one neatly organized package, and for those of us who simply can’t conjure up the funds necessary for a full board of pedals. In short, sure, it does effect the signal a bit, as does any multi-effect processor, but to call it synthetic is not doing it justice. (2/2)

[@GraffitiPhysical]

Getting it out tomorrow. Amazing sounds Harry, your playing is amazing man. Especially the intro solo. Wow.

[@chikoytagpi82]

5his guy is a legend bring here back...this only demo on rhis channnel that i watch.

[@alikabeer5008]

I love your channel , videos , gear , presentation , speech style , and last but not least your playing!!!

[@xogmusic]

The G5 has seperate L/R outputs. If you connect it mono to your amp then you use the L mono output. You can also connect it directly into a mixer with L/R. With effects like the Stereo Chorus you notice a difference when playing in stereo.

[@bobbyburrows724]

Thanks for the video Harry. Because of it, I bought one of these since I needed a modeler where I'm gigging. The tube does add warmth to the sound and I leave it on all the time. It's easy to replace after taking off the 15 or so screws on the bottom plate. The Bogner model is pretty spot on. Really like this thing. Pretty versatile. I go straight into the house system and although it's not like having the amp right there, it's pretty close. Better than the Line 6 modelers by far. Thanks again Harry. Great job.

[@davidpettis5100]

Nice demo! At least it was thorough as we got to see a lot of features in a short amount of time.

[@TheNightshotBR]

Nice video and great playing there brother. You forgot to mention the G5 has built-in drums to jam along and thats just great to have. I have the G5 and my only complaint is that if you put the volume on the pedal up/down and you change patches, the patch you change to gets loaded on max volume. Anoys the shit out of me. Other than that, it´s a great processor.

[@kennethjones9123]

@ Harry....Wow this has some excellent tones. Your playing is awesome with incredible feel. I have been shopping pedals last month or so and listening on KZbin and all of your reviews and playing are top notch. I love this Zoom G5. I am looking for the JCM800 sound and topping it with a buttery smooth lead tone and a wide delay. Any recommendations? Keep up the great work

[@Bence205]

I have a G3 which I originally bought for my tube amp as an alternative for stompboxes because of the layout and all. It surprised me quite a bit as it turned out to be amazing on it's own! I'm seriously thinking of getting rid of all my other pedals and even my amp and going for a G5. Won't be doing any live/band things in the forseeable future, and I've been more than satisfied with the sounds and ease of recording, plus the looper works great too!

[@reynaldguibone4859]

I always like this man make his tone. It's good to my ears.

[@giarkmonkeybot1909]

Man you do a great product review! I love my G5 but you really play it for the people, show what she can do

[@xogmusic]

I haven't played the G9. I've shown how to create a patch from scratch to see how to built it up. Normally you would probably have templates with certain combinations you orefer. It's very easy to make changes on the run, changing effect types, amps and values on the different effects.

[@greatvanzini]

Great playing, great video, & great faces. You remind of Alex Hutchings. I just got a used G3 but now I'm thinking a move up might be good. This was a darn good time spent here! So am I understanding correctly? There aren't "User" patches? You have to write over an existing patch?

[@cliffbarrows01]

Great lead playing over that loop!! Love it!

[@JacksonKV2FTW]

Wow, I'm thoroughly impressed with this multi effect pedal. Great demo!

[@steamkering3085]

Because of this video ( sir harry maes),i bought zoom g5 2nd hand 2 months ago... and really love it....but lacks of bank up dwn,aux in but still ok for me... don't focus much on preset unless u wanna tweak from there...make ur own sound n it will be good..juz my 2cent....n sum have too much gain so i lower it... i love tube screamer...if possible don't use direct if infront of amp 1.For output from zoom g5,infront of amp,i used stack front or combo 2.my signal chain is right to left to my hearing liking.. 3.best for me is wah pdl > znr>comp/mcomp > overdrive/tube screamer > amp sim> 6band EQ >chorus n lastly add delay for solo...equing should do the trick of getting rid of digital/fizz n etc if not all... for fx return,i make another bank 1.i'll use output either direct or stack front 2.setting same like the above infront of amp but with a bit of tweaking cuz da sound a bit like tube amp(mellow) if using solid state amp, n wanna make it sound like fat/warmth/tube,juz activate da booster n wow!... it all depends on individual preferences...njoy to those who had zoom g5...cheers! to sir harry maes too...:)

[@joshuaramoutar5945]

Really helpful man thanks.. I just got mine. Do you know how to tap tempo for delays by chance.

[@arenasunset1734]

Wow, i Just saw this great sound machine in a second hand store! And offcourse this will be mine!! Thank you máster for this Guitar Show!

[@willem9688]

I've had this pedal for about 4 years and I still like it, being an at home player. 1 month a go I bought a boss rv 500 but it's just not worth it compared to the reverbs of the g5, so i sold it again.

[@hyqelhelmy4957]

Great video as always, it seems like you always know how to bring out the best out of everything you review! I was just wondering if you do any reviews of bass effects pedals. I've been considering the Zoom B3 for a while, and there aren't many good videos about it online!

[@clarkyyy28]

great review, i'm tossing up between this and the ME-80, i think this video has sealed the deal.

[@NykkoLSD]

I'm completely thankful to this review since it helped me decide to buy the zoom g5!

[@nilsbeaujotpv]

I got it for 1 year now and it's just amazing

[@Titan520]

Great review, Sir Harry Maes! I was wondering if you were to choose between the HD500X and the G5, which would you choose in terms of sound and practicality? Application should be able to do live, not necessarily recording. Would appreciate your reply. I am in a dilemma of choosing the between the two. I want something that sounds great and very usable and can last years for fun.

[@jayscanlan2775]

best sounding of all the g5 demos!

[@baxshop]

This is, after all, a digital modeling effect processor, and it is going to influence the dynamics you’d get when purely playing a tube amp. On the other hand, so is hooking up multiple pedals via patch cables and whatnot, analog or otherwise. That’s the point of a pedal like this: to avoid having to buy a lot of costly individual pedals and having to connect them with a lot of cables, messing with your signal and, in some cases, causing noise. (1/2)

[@EchiBTR]

this guy makes everything sounds nice.. damn,,

[@baxshop]

There are two different ways to use this pedal: via patches (which are modified and stored easily) or via the effects. Also you may want to download the editor so you are able to modify via your computer. To fully understand the way this pedal works, please download the manual on the site of Zoom.

[@xogmusic]

There are some differences in the type of effects in the different Zoom pedals. Also the G5 gives you more control and more effect screens, a Z-pedal and a tube booster. Also slight differences in the inputs/outputs and the possibility to use the G5 as an audio-card. Hope this helps?

[@zakiedavis3647]

Harry, I really have enjoyed your detailed reviews of the Zoom A3 and the Zoom G5. I see that Zoom has the G5n out and was wondering if you plan to do a review of the G5n possibly comparing the pros and cons between the G5 and G5n. Thanks.

[@anthonybymallia7067]

i bought its awsome the sound is amazing even on my squeir bullet sounds great

[@KC9MDO]

I just git mine today and wow! Started watching videos and this is one of the best for an overview. Got to bank 3 patch three and next thing I know it is two hours later. Wah pedal with a pitch shift left and right. Running thru an effects loop on the AVT150 head into the lead channel and what a monster tone, Sounded like some sorta Rob Zombie funk mix from hell. Only 191 patches to go, lol. I will have to pick a patch to clear so I can start making my own soon. Great possibilities here.

[@baxshop]

The only way to get a good answer to your question is to try them out next to each other. Then you may decide which has the better audio quality for your purposes

[@fernandohildebrand]

Hi! Incredible demo, it´s amazing! How would you model a Richie Kotzen sound?

[@bato41823]

Hello Sir...very nice demo..can I use this like an individual pedals?

[@shauncarling8464]

Excellent demo, really impressed

[@dddddddd9870]

Looper allow to add drums? Possible to on/off drums while playing looper?

[@sarahtan2821]

I have this. You will NOT regret it. It is very cheap for the sounds given.

[@lestervai]

Man, you sold me on this! great job and playing.

[@boythedrag148]

i never get bore with your video clip.

[@brzokucam]

Great demonstrations here man.. Finaly someone who knows his job well. Can you tell - between this one Zoom G5 and Line 6 pod HD 500 which one do you prefer, or what sound more natural to you and which one acts better in fornt an tube amp? Thank you and Cheers

[@monsoon446]

i have been a pod hd400 user , now for a long time and i have a bunch of analogs too. but i am always hunting budget processors. may be it's just the convenience of use but i really dig the new processors different companies come out with. i have used vox tone lab, used korg ax3000g, a couple zoom pedals, and ever since pod has released it's HD lines i have been hooked with hd400. what i want to know is , is the g5 better sounding than the hd400 ? are the effects closer to the authenticity of the originals than the HD series ? the only review that pulled me towards G5 was yours, it sounds so nice. is the G5 on par with pod HD series , especially HD400 and HD500 ?

[@briandenney5026]

I can help with that a little. I run the HD500 in a metal band I'm in. It has super tight distortions through my Mesa Symul class and Rectifier 4x12. Very happy with it. I now have a side project so I needed a completely different rig. Marshall head and cab and I went with the Zoom G5. As far user friendly and smart function I've never had one better. Downside, the distortions are not making me happy. They seem to have that "extra" background distortion that we all hate. The HD500 does not. I'll keep working on it and hopefully come up with my happy place but if not I'll go with another HD500.

[@FrittoVeloceLuke]

Hello, very nice video, excellent audio quality, the first part before putting it in the input of the amplifier, how 'recorded directly into the sound card or mixer? hello thanks

[@ronniefowler5286]

Excellent demonstration sir! I was on the fence about getting a G5 but I think I'm gonna go ahead and take the plunge!

[@troycornett2181]

I just got this board today. Went through some presets and was blown away by the power this thing puts out. You didn't mention mention any of that nor seem interested at all by the board. Just another day at the job i guess. You forget not everyone comes across this stuff everyday. A more critical analysis would include what you don't like about it compared to other boards that's unless you're getting paid in which I understand.

[@63Axeman]

Great demo. Excellent tones and playing....thanx

[@baxshop]

We can't say which is the best for your situation. You are always welcome to test them in our shop to see which will fit your needs!

[@xogmusic]

Hi Armando, both the G5 and POD HD500 are great units, you can't go wrong with either of them. Make a list of what you need from a multi-effect processor (include the price!) and see which one has the most options you need. ;)

[@leonkennedy1592]

Sounds better than my RP500! Im sold man! Great review by the way!!!

[@xogmusic]

Thanks! I've played the G5 directly into the sound card and also with a Plexi type amp. There seems to be a difference of 9 effects between the G5 (125) and G3 (116). Both manuals are available at Zoom dot co dot jp (website from Zoom) where the detailed information of the effects is included. Other differences are Z-Pedal and Tube booster.

[@xogmusic]

Thanks a lot! Both have a great tone and great features. The HD500 has some additional inputs/outputs and the G5 has a real tube booster. Overall they're close. ;)

[@baxshop]

There’s a hundred effects built into this little machine, nine of these can be used all at once!

[@baxshop]

I’m afraid only one channel of these amp presets is available. With a little tweaking tho, both channels can be simulated, to a certain extent.

[@xogmusic]

You can watch from 4:30 onward to see how I create a patch from scratch. Basically you can empty a patch by setting all the slots to thru. It's best to start simply by selecting your prefered amp(s) and add a drive pedal in front, some delay and reverb after.

[@fotisguitar123]

very good sound.does it work fine with amp distortion or changes the sound of the amp?

[@rdArsenault]

Very nice demo! Like others have said, this demo covers alot but also does it in a nice, user friendly way. I've had this pedal for some time and have been faithful to Zoom over the years. This pedal however is the 'mother ship'...as in my opinion, they finally got everything in one pedal...and did it right! I have not used my G5 in a while but after seeing this, I'll be dusting it off and exploring and using much more! Great job with this demo!

[@leadguitar24]

Now I know what I want for Christmas! thanks for the video, it's too difficult for me to find the best multi-fx on guitar, I'm using zoomg1xnext but for me there's something missing on this guitar effects!

[@goodwilj]

The best way to use this is to plug your laptop or PC into it and use the software provided to control it using an USB cable. You can change presets, patches, settings at the click of a mouse which really simplifies things. I love this effects pedal and recommend it to everyone. This is a must buy!! I've had mine for six months. It has a nice drum machine built in as well. I can record direct out through the USB cable to the PC or through my Fender Amp into the PC. This item is made of metal not plastic. It's not made cheap. It's worth the money and is very high quality. I love the amp modeling especially the Bogner. It rocks..

[@pepperbelly68]

great video ! greetings from Oklahoma ! The Heartland of the USA !

[@WutangClan4LiF3]

U do great reviews u give the viewer all the things to see if he wanna buy the product ty. Since i m a newbie can u please explain me whats going on? U play amazing tones during the video then u say " lets try in front of amp " and it sounds way worse. Hows the connection before that " in front amp " thing? I mean from 0:00 to 12:00 minutes or something how do u connect to get that nice sounds?ty

[@guitarbrian46]

I'll be ordering one in a few days...my question....with all the excellent overdrives this thing has, what about the cleans? I do 60s-80s rock but also smooth jazz and even use a nylon string acoustic/electric. The last zoom product I had, a 9.2tt didn't like the electronics in my acoustic but the digitech unit I have now is good with it. How will this handle a bridge mounted pick up for cleanliness?

[@andrewdebree]

Budgettechnisch is alle twee geen optie :b Maar door deze duidelijke video en goede recencies op het web heb ik mn keuze wel kunnen maken denk ik zo. Harry bedankt.

[@xogmusic]

Chris, both. First part is al straight into the desk, later part is into the amp. ;)

[@xogmusic]

Thanks a lot Rob! Great that I inspired you to use the G5 again!

[@OmarMezart]

I like how the Pedal works, but do you find a noticeable difference between the G5 and the G9.2tt? I have the G9 and what I like about it is the warmth I get when combine the two tubes, but the way you create patches, could become a pain if you want to create some patches on the run.

[@stevey1000]

Ji harry at 21:20, (the 2nd part of your loop) is that a preset sound? or have you programmed that yourself? it sounds amazing!!!!

[@xogmusic]

Standard preset if I remember correctly

[@crash212pj]

Harry you ROCK !!!... Is there a chance you'll demo the Zoom G9.2tt ???

[@saswatidhar3278]

Is the ZOOM G5 still available anywhere? Everywhere,it is either discontinued or out of stock. Please help

[@Naxxx]

It is unfortunately discontinued but you can still find it second hand ;) there is a newer version (ZOOM G5N) which for many it is a drawback, though still very interesting to check it out!

[@stephenhookings1985]

@@Naxxx I just got one 2nd hand.i am really into the remote control midi and hacking extra FX onto them (like bass FX). So will be experimenting with this via the Edit and Share. If anyone is interested you can see more on my channel.

[@StichtingVOGW]

So it has 297 preset patches and all can be changed and stored. But does each and every changed patch cost you another patch of that 297? Er zijn dus 297 fabrieks-patches die je kunt aanpassen. Als je een angepaste wilt opslaan, kost het je dan een andere fabrieks-patch plek die je moet opofferen?

[@Poldo77miticu]

very nice playing and sounds!! Just for curiosity...which amp are you using in the second part?

[@xogmusic]

Axe Fx II - probably on a Bogner Ecstasy clean (blue) channel.

[@Poldo77miticu]

Harry Maes Then Zoom Goes into the AXE FX II? and then goes in a Bogner Ecstarsy? or goes into the Bogner? Thanks.

[@xogmusic]

The Axe Fx II has a Bogner amp model.

[@LuigiTuazon]

What's the difference between the Zoom G5 and the Zoom G5xn (Effects wise). Thank you! :)

Hey Harry, KILLER, your demo TRULLY works, extremly well, by the way. Congrats, and lots of thanks, for your patience. Don't worry we will taking care, of activating, the effect each time jijiji!!!! hey men, by the way try to laugh a bit, you seem to be to serious, it is a frenly comment.

Great tone sounds cab you set up the program to find a Shadows echo reverb sound . Can it also create a setting for a 12 String sound? Look forward to your reply.Thankyou

[@AngelMartinez-qs3cf]

I am curious, love your reviews, but I want to ask which of these mutl-effect devices the most amp modelers, or which is "better" I am looking for a device where can I create my own pre sets. I am into classic rock, like AC/DC, Zeppelin, Sabbath, Stones, Beatles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, that kind of thing. Which is easier to use? Sorry for the many questions.

[@zzzkarlzz]

best review on the g5 thank you for this

[@branislavhavlik570]

Hello. Are you preparing review of Zoom G5N? If yes when? Iam interest to see compare g5 and G5n

[@dr.dreiroca]

The g5 is great for recording sessions and has more number of effects and features than g5n on the other hand, the g5n has less number of effects but it is much better to use in a live setting than the g5.

[@BrendaRosas]

One question.... the zoom g5 has a button under the z pedal, why is that for? And how can you configure it, because it doesn't comes in the manual. Thanks!

[@metallica3604]

bought one thanks to you....

[@xogmusic]

Ik heb de tonelab nog niet bespeeld waardoor ik geen onderbouwd antwoord kan geven. Allebei bestellen en dan degene die je het minst bevalt terugsturen? ;)

[@coffeewaldo]

Best zoom g5 demo on utube. Running out of $:( but zoom was my first processor back in the day. Their first one. The little black box. I'm just into distortion. But I would buy this if possible. May have to wait a bit. Sounds great.

[@byronh77]

Thanks for taking the time to respond!

[@xogmusic]

Thanks, it can work with amp distortion when it's not more then crunch. On high gain you can better place the G5 in the effects loop

[@baxshop]

You can connect your guitar directly to the input of the Zoom G5 then you’ll need another jack cable which you connect from the output of the Zoom G5 to your guitar amp.

[@VaiLegacy12]
