Feature:
Great MIDI stuff. Wonderful for transfering patches and what not. Also get the best sound from this by tweeking it to the decimal.
Quality:
GREAT!! Looks like a monster. I mean all metal construction. And it has this nifty grip thing on the pedal that I think you can like take it off to rinse. But it'll never come off while playing. My pedal is on its second owner and it's holding up perfect.
Value:
It's worth every penny you'll invest in it. It sounded great through a lil 10 watt amp, and it sounds wonderfull out of a 120 watt. It's unbeatable.
Desirability:
Oh well sex appeal towards it is great. Listening to the demo off the cd thats included will make you love it without touching it.
Sound:
Awesome sound comming out of this beast. It takes a while to get exactly what you want, but thats the thing your getting exactly what you want so it's worth the time.
Support:
Support is great. The reason it is, is because I never needed it. Not one problem in two years owning it.
Overall:
2 years owning it, haven't looked for any replacement. Great for playing gigs. Stands exactly where it should because of its weight. So you won't be dragging it when walking around. The power plug is really good because while it does have htat big black box for it, it the actual 2 prong thing comes out through an extention from it. Great sounds, great capabilities, CREATE YOUR OWN SOUND!!

Once you learn to use it (which is an uphill climb, I admit), there's really no tone you can't get with this unit. It's totally quiet, the effects sound lush (not digital to my ear), the EQ works great (important for direct digital recording), the built-in pedal controller is a total bonus, the construction is solid, and the programmable distortion is unique, to my knowledge. As in, you don't like the built-in amp sim sounds? Wanna create your own unique distortion, instead of just modelling an amp? No problem - use the software to BUILD YOUR OWN distortion!! Plus, the GFX-8 comes with a fantastic, easy-to-use software librarian that,in addition to letting you create distortion algorithms!!, lets you program any parameter for any of the patches in realtime, through your Mac or PC via MIDI. To my mind, this is the GFX-8's best feature. You can change parameters on the board itself too, but I personally prefer the software, where you can see all the parameters at once, and where you can open and save banksets for downloading into the unit. Way cool. Let's face it - if you're a purist with loads of dough, who needs amp sims, just buy the tube amps you like. But if you're a musician on a budget looking for the most sonic bang for your buck, the Zoom GFX-8 just plain rocks.
