The *NEW* Zoom G2 Multi-pedal

[tot_Ou_tard]

I just got the Zoom in & had a few minutes to play around with it. It's a little confusing to figure out, but you soon get the hang of it. I turned off everything but the amp models the eq and the extra eq. I tried the JC clean & the Fender Clean.

First impressions:

Negatives:

This ain't no valvetronix. If I had the dough, I'd get the Tonelab.

Positives:

I'm untethered from my amp!!!

It sounds good enough for what I need it for.

The drum machine.

Chromatic tuner

The 6 band eq

low mid high
low-mid presence harmonics

is very nice.


I'll have to spend some time putting it through its paces.

Best line from the the addendum to the manual:

"When you use guitar amp for recording patches, not only intended modeling sound will not existing but also you hear harsh-sounding sometimes. Please adjust guitar amp setting as above reference."

Also JC Clean is labeled as JC Crean.

Clearly I'm gonna have to give this pedal some time. I am liking the JC Clean a whole lot better the longer I play it.

Well now that 'splains alot. I was using the Zoom with headphones and the Extra EQ (low-mid presence harmonics) turned on. This turns off the cab emulation and puts it into "pedal in front of amp" mode! Back to the ol' listening board!
