Ultimate Control Over Your Guitar Tones

The Zoom G5n's smart design combines the ease of a stompbox pedalboard with the power of a multi-effects pedal and the convenience of a USB audio interface. Although the feature-laden G5n may seem like it has a lot going on, it's actually very easy to use, especially during live performances.

From clean and crunchy to loud drive tones, the G5n read more is capable of reproducing the characteristic qualities of a range of amplifiers.

Live Looping

As a nice bonus, the G5n pedal features a looper with 80-second phrase recording/overdubbing. For some real-time fun, use it to layer guitar parts as many times as you want, and use looped sounds as simple backing tracks.

When you pair the looper with the Zoom G5n's realistic DSP effects and the built-in rhythm patterns, you can make your solo show feel more like a full band. As far as drums go, you can choose from more than 68 different rhythm patterns, including 4-, 8- and 16-beat, shuffle, and so forth. You can hit the tap key to set your desired tempo.

Zoom G5n Multi-Effects Guitar Pedal

When Zoom designed the G5n, their goal was to create the finest collection of guitar effects ever offered in one innovative package. From "FunkSauce" to "Texas Toast," from "Carlos" to "Heavensent," the G5n delivers dozens of tonalities sure to please the most discerning guitarist.

Consider this the 78 boutique pedals you don't have
The G5n comes loaded with 68 beautifully-crafted and newly assembled DSP effects, plus 10 of the most faithful and realistic amp/cabinet emulators we've ever created.

A wide array of effects
The G5n comes equipped with freshly-developed takes on not only the most-essential guitar sounds like overdrive, distortion, compression, EQ, delay, reverb, flanging, phasing, vibrato, and chorusing, but also unique multi-effects such as Seq Filter, Gold Drive, Reverse Delay, HD Hall, and OSC Echo.

Ultra-realistic amp/cabinet emulation
You can connect the G5n directly to a PA system or audio interface, using the 10 brand new onboard amp and cabinet emulators. Choose from 5 classic amp models like the Marshall JCM800, Fender Twin Reverb, MESA Boogie Mk3, Bogner Ecstasy Blue Channel and British 30W Class A Combo, newly and faithfully created to be adjusted exactly as you would with the knobs and switches of the real thing.

Pair your amp with one of the 5 newly-created cabinet emulators to complete the sound, choosing from Marshall 1960 A-type cabinet (4x12" Celestion speakers), Fender '65 Twin Reverb (2x12" Jensen speakers), the UK2x12 that recreates the sound of early British combo amps (2x12" Celestion speakers), Mesa Boogie Mark III cab (1x12" Celestion Black Shadow speaker), or Bogner Ecstasy cabinet (4x12" Celestion speakers).

100 custom-crafted combinations and counting
To explore the wealth of possibilities that the G5n offers, we continuously collaborate with inspirational, professional guitarists known for their taste and love of great guitar sounds. The G5n comes stocked with 100 newly custom-designed patches that both recreate decades of essential guitar tones--like the iconic sounds of Eddie Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Carlos Santana, Michael Schenker, and Brian May--and pioneer new territory with combinations exclusively created for G5n guitarists.

Stand out with "Lead BGN," a modern lead sound folded into a modulated delay, or "Phazed," an intense tube amp sound through a phaser. The "UFO" patch harnesses parametric EQ in the style of the lead guitarist of the band of the same name, and then there's "DreamLand," an overdriven crunch enhanced with tape echo and hall reverb.

"Quality sounds"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Nails the sounds I’ve been looking for. I use mainly for P&W. 98% of complaints from other reviews have not been issues for me. Amp models are good. Effects are great. Extremely quiet. After only one week, editing is second nature. Now the only learning curve is choosing which effect is best for specific applications, so many options to choose from. It has easily exceeded my expectations. Too soon for manufacturer support. The only “con” for me is the processing overload, however even that has not prevented me from getting exactly the sound I want. I’m learning which amp models use less DSP, and have been able to use alternatives without compromising the sound I I’m trying to create. I’m only giving 41/2 stars “just because “ I don’t have anything current to compare it to. Only what I have seen in videos. For the money, I chose this. and I’m basically just tickled pink.
