No longer available at zZounds
The Zoom G1XN is a good, affordable way to expand your sound. With an intuitive interface and revamped sounds, the Zoom G1XN is a fine choice.

Since introducing the 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 G1XN.

Drive Sounds

The first thing you notice with the G1XN is its 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 G1XN delivers natural expression from nuanced playing to total bone-sizzling shreds. And the original amp models designed especially by Zoom for the G1XN will amaze.

Easy to Operate

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 G1XN 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 read more 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 G1XN's user memory.

Featuring 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 G1XN 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 the digital modeling technology can reproduce.

Now With 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 creative possibilities.

Including a 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

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

Its compact size and lightweight design make the G1XN 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.

AC/DC Power

You get 12 hours of continuous operation with four AA alkaline batteries when using the G1XN anywhere from the studio to the stage. Or plug in the included AC adapter for extended use.
Expression pedal adds a dimension of versatility and control

The G1XN comes with a built-in expression pedal and a pedal assign key that makes it a snap to select the function operated by the pedal. Plus, you can switch the effect assigned to the expression pedal on and off by pressing up the pedal.
