Zoom G1X FOUR Guitar Multi-Effects Processor with Expression Pedal

The Zoom G1X Four is a versatile multi-effects processor tailored for electric guitars, featuring an integrated expression pedal that allows for continuous control over specific effects. Designed in a user-friendly stompbox format, the G1X Four includes a broad array of effects, amplifier simulations, and additional functionalities, such as a 30-second looper and a chromatic tuner. With 68 pre-installed rhythm patterns, it enables the incorporation of drum loops, which can be particularly beneficial during looping.

The device offers a variety of effects including distortion, chorus, and reverb, along with 13 amplifier models that replicate iconic combinations. Certain effects can be enhanced with an expression pedal, allowing for a smooth and gradual adjustment of the effect’s intensity. Users can modify the pedal’s functionality digitally via the G1X Four’s display or manually by using a 5mm hex wrench to adjust the pedal’s torque.

It is possible to chain five effects in any sequence at any time. These effects can be stored in one of the 50 user-defined presets. You can swiftly switch between patches (or banks of patches) with a simple tap, allowing for effortless modifications to your live or studio sound. Additionally, you can adjust global parameters to maintain a cohesive sound across patches. The three-knob tone stack and the overall output level knob remain unchanged as you navigate through your sounds.

The pedal features more than 70 distinct effects, and users can also modify or incorporate additional effects via their computer. By connecting the pedal to a Mac or Windows device using a USB cable, one can enhance the effects through Zoom’s Guitar Lab software.

The G1X Four features a single 1/4″ instrument input, a 3.5mm input for mobile devices and media players, as well as a combined amplifier and headphone output. It operates on four AA batteries, providing up to 18 hours of usage. Additionally, the device can be powered using a dedicated ZOOM AD-16 AC adapter or via USB.
