This has a 12AX7 built in and it really makes the difference. The modeling is also spot on. This thing rocks.

The software creates a virtual studio with a menu of amps and mic'ing options and a cool selection of effects. Everything you need to record the best guitar tracks. It does everything but play your guitar for you.

It's a well made solid piece of gear.

Yes indeed. I mean once you hear your tracks back you will swear you had a room full of the best tube amps all mic'd up in a room with great acoustics.

This is my first Zoom product and I contacted their tech support once with a software install issue and they got right back to me with a solution.

It's got a 60's retro look like an older piece of gear, which I prefer.

It would sound great if it weren't for the attrocious white noise that is always present, even after downgrading the driver as per ZOOMs website.

Well, it has good features but they are useless due to the white noise.

I guess it's easy to use but not easy to figure out why it generates so much white noise.

Seems well built but shame on ZOOM for releasing a product with such a major issue with... white noise.

Looks good value on paper but all you are really paying for is a box full of white noise.

Terrible manual. The website does offer a solution to the white noise issue (downgrade the driver) but it didn't work well enough.

It had appeal in the shop. But no appeal once I got it home and realised after several hours that I couldn't get rid of the white noise.

the software is good, the big downfall with this little thing is if your usb port doesnt support it, then you will recieve major buzzing sounds, ive reformatted my pc , downgraded to xp from vista, and wiped my pc clean just to resolve a possible issue on my behalf, well it turns out zoom had a faulty usb driver, so half of the people using this wont be able to record at 24 bit, instead there ONLY solution was to patch your usb host controller so it removes the noise but at a cost of only being able to record at 16 bits, for them to have a solution on thier website, i knew this isnt an isolated problem! none the less my powerhouse pc which is capabable of doing almost everything but type for me , cant seam to get this horrible little box to work..all in all its going to be a gamble ( you do like to take a chance dont you?)

good guitar sim software included, but thats about it

plug and play....buyer beware

3 on a scale of 10

not worth it

little to no support, i contacted zoom about this issue they just sent me a link to their distributors and said return the product

nice look, nothing inside it though
