VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Overall: Sounds great! Easy to use! I originally bought the Line 6 Pod 400 and was a little dissapointed with the headphone jack issue. Buyer beware If you plan on getting one for use with headphones. Read the forums on line 6 website and you will see what I'm talkin about. I returned it to zZounds hassle free. Love these guys! I was thinking about getting the Boss ME-70 and came across the G5 but never heard of zoom so wasn't sure what to think. I went down to the local music store to try them both out, I also tried the Pod 400 jagain ust to make sure I wasn't trippin. I wasn't it still sounded bad thru phones. The zoom sounded the best i was using crapy phones keep in mond) and was easy to use and dial in quickly. I was sold. So glad I got the G5. I know some of you might say who buys multi effect to listen to with phones? Well a lot of people do. For me I need to be able to jam without making any noise. I have a newborn on the way. Tried it thru the PA and it sounded pretty realistic. The pedal is cool too. Not only does it go up and down but left and right so you can assign different effects like delay or whatever. The software was really easy to use too. Only con is no aux input for MP3 player so if you like to learn songs using headphones you will need a small mixer. Pretty solid as well. Other than that its awesome and greatly priced. Way to go zoom. Can't wait to see what's next! Not sure on the customer support from zoom so I gave it a 3 star.

Back to Product Information
Overall: I bought a C5.1T a couple of years back and within a few weeks bought a multicore processor box with low latency intel chipset. That box was of course built to run on Windows 7 and has no discernable wait time when playing directly into Ableton Live 8. Of course zoom told me at the time they have no intention of writing new drivers for the C5.1T even though it was being sold well into the life cycle of windows 7. A check of their website showed today a couple years later that they have been true to their word. I promised them then that I would make sure that people knew that if they purchase one of their products that they would be stuck in time platform wise and now I have been true to my word. I'll keep up the good work.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
