Description
News
Since introducing their 505 pedal in 1996, Zoom compact multi-effect processors have been highly acclaimed by guitarists all over the world. Representing the next standard for expressive tone in any style, Zoom is pleased to introduce the all-new G1N.

All-New Drive Sounds
The first thing you notice with the G1N is its totally new drive sounds that were developed using the state-of-the-art ZFX modeling technology. Featuring 15 amp and stomp-box models that faithfully replicate every detail of the classics, from gain settings to harmonic character, the G1N delivers natural expression from nuanced playing to total bone-sizzling shreds. And the new, original amp models designed especially by Zoom for the G1N will amaze.

Easy Operation
It's never been easier to edit effects. Simply select the effect module with the selector knob then edit the value with the value knob. That's all there is to it! You can easily design your own tones to suit your music. Dedicated buttons for saving patches, a bank switcher and integrated rhythm patterns make fine-tuning your sounds a breeze. A chromatic tuner is available simply by stepping on the two pedal buttons simultaneously. And with bright LED indicators, you'll get easy operation even on a dark stage.

Xtreme Artist Patches
The G1N has 9 types of presets that simulate the sounds of rock legends like Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and many more. Plus, there are 21 types of artist patches designed by amazing guitar heroes like Michael Amott, Kiko Loureiro, Richie Kotzen, Rob Caggiano, Mike Stone and Matt Bachand, so you can use these professionally designed guitar sounds in your music. Also, there are 10 types of presets for any style of guitar playing, such as power chords, arpeggio, lead, cutting and much more. You can even save 40 patches you create in the G1N's user memory.

True Tube Modeling
Replicating the high frequency overtones created by the distortion effect of tube amplifiers is made possible by Zoom's original 32-bit, ZFX-3 processor. This allows the frequency response for our G1N to extend to an amazing 20Hz thru 40kHz with 96 kHz sampling rates. You get the rich harmonics of distortion specific to various types of tube amps, made possible with 24-bit A/D/A conversion and the processing power that only our digital modeling technology can reproduce.

54 Studio-Quality Effects
A total of eight modules provide 54 effect types ranging from must-have historic sounds of DynaComp, Vox Wah, Crybaby Wah, to Harmonized Pitch Shifter, long delay and echo settings of up to 5 seconds, and many more. A multitude of high-performance choices opens up totally new creative possibilities.

Drum machine with PCM sound sources
Realistic drum sounds derived from PCM sources are arranged in a variety of rhythm patterns for different musical genres. The 40 rhythm variations include the steady 8-beat of rock and pop, funky 16-beat, a jazzy 4-beat, some great shuffle for blues sessions, and many more choices. Rhythm training is a cinch, and tap input allows you to specify the tempo easily.

Ultra low noise design on par with studio equipment
Specifications such as a signal-to-noise ratio of 110dB and noise floor of -98dBm demonstrate a level of performance that's not usually seen in units of this class. Background noise is a thing of the past, resulting in superbly transparent sound. Zoom's original noise reduction (ZNR) removes noise in playing pauses, while maintaining a natural release even on the tail of sustained notes.

Easy to carry in a gig bag
Its compact size and lightweight design make the G1N ideal for those who want plenty of effects and great performance without having to carry a lot of gear. Plus, its durable, reinforced body can withstand the rigors of use on stage or on the road.

Features
- 8 effect modules and 54 effect types

- 80 patches (40 user defined and 40 preset patches) including 9 types of presets that replicate legendary rock sounds and 21 types of new artist patches

- 15 types of authentic drive tones

- Advanced ZFX-3 processing engine

- 96kHz sampling

- 24-bit A/D/A Conversion

- 32-bit signal processing

AC/DC power operation
You get 12 hours of continuous operation with four AA alkaline batteries when using the G1N anywhere from the studio to the stage. Or plug in the included AC adapter for extended use.

Optional footswitch and expression pedal add versatility and control
When you connect the optional footswitch (FS01), you can switch patch banks or perform tap tempo input with your foot. You can also connect the optional expression pedal (FP02) to control effect parameters such as wah, pitch shift, volume, drive gain, modulation rate, mixing balance of delay and reverb in real time. With either option, you add a new dimension of control and versatility to this exceptional new pedal.

"Zoom zoom zoom! (I love these guys)"
Feature:
I didn't get an adaptor with it, but I already had one from a previous Zoom pedal. All their adaptors are interchangeable. I guess they have an extra 'control' pedal input but I don't have one of those either. The drum machine is not particularly useful, but at least they threw it in there. Mostly this is good to fill in for pedal setups that would cost far more, or emulare amps, but it takes some programming to make it sounds how you want. The presets are all mismatched and far from normalized level-wise, and although all the sounds you could need are in there somewhere, I wouldn't rely on the presets, just take the time and program your own.

Quality:
Hard plastic shell doesn't get a 10, but it's pretty 'heavy' feeling which means to me a nice dense well organized internal circuitry. I can step on it, but I don't really want to throw it.

Value:
I dare anyone to find more nice sounds in a single little multipedal pedal for this price. Boss stuff is way more expensive, Digitech is way more plasticy and toy-ish, Zoom gets it right... again (as I said before I am a big Zoom fan anyway)

Desirability:
I wanted one. BUT I just use it in studio for amp models and effects though. On stage I would prefer using a couple more pedals, for wah, volume, and actual amp drive instead of a modeler. it is difficult to stand on its own live, so I see no need to bring it out in public unless I had nothing else to use, in which case, go for it... no appologies this is rock... go with what you got.

Sound:
I owned just about all the Zoom guitar multis since the 9000, I guess I'm a bit of a collector. I have to say I can't hear much difference in sound 'quality' between this and my G1 or my G2.1. Its far beyond the 9000 or the 505, 707, etc... It's definitely from the 'new' generation of zoomers. very clear, good noise. etc. But really, the amp modelers are just as clear and expressy as the 2.1 which is about thrice the price. The flanger and phaser and autowah kind of mod effects are kind of brittle, either too weak in the signal, or too much... hard to find a middle ground. But the amp models are nice, the noise reduction, the EQ, and another delay/reverb never hurts to have laying around in the studio. I am completely unconcerned with the drum machine but it's cute I guess for some kind of companion for lonely practice in headphones, but it kind of drives you nuts if you let it keep playing.

Ease of Use:
This thing is super duper easy. Turn 1 know to what you want to adjust, turn the other knob to change the parameter. Actually the best most intuitive way of approaching a multipedal I have ever seen. I prefer this way to the one on my 2.1... because everything is written right there on it for you. No param1,2,and3, where you have to remember which parameter does what for what effect model... just parameter knob... up or down :) very friendly.

Support:
Zoom guys are actually really cool. They love their customers. That's why they give us so many cool little tools.

Overall:
It is indeed very nice sound for the price. Like all Zoom stuff it contains some random odds and ends you may never want to use, but they are fun to goof around with (the Drum loop, 'Step' emulator and the 'Ring' mod are good examples of stuff that you might just have fun goofing around with but not take very seriously) Still for thrice the price you seriously cannot find a better multi... maybe a more durable one for live... but for studio use it is safe. And cheap. And good.
