I recommend this multi-fx for any traveling guitarist or if you're on a budget and can't afford to buy a bunch of stomp boxes. I have a much better multi-fx unit (amplifi by line6) but I wanted a portable processor. The g1four does this perfectly - it's really small (I got the one without the foot pedal to fit in my gig bag's accessory pouch, but the one with the pedal would probably have just fit), easy to use, has a great variety of sounds and the sound quality is generally quite high. I wish something like this had been available to me long ago - multi-fx units are usually so difficult to use you forget what you're doing, and purchasing individual stomp boxes can get very expensive (and awkward to travel with). The biggest standout here is usability. The interface is intuitive, you barely need to skim the manual. It's easy to edit patches, easy to operate the "rhythm section" and looper, and easy to switch between patches and then fine-tune if you need to. There's a master volume for the output when playing in stompbox mode. Everything is clearly marked. I wish the input and output jacks were labeled a little more clearly (maybe some marking on top in addition to the marking next to the jacks, and maybe with some color difference - it's a bit hard to see), but that's a minor issue. The other big standout is variety and quality of sounds. It has a ton of different sounds including a lot of amp models. I can't tell the difference between most of the cabinet models, but the amp models give you a lot of tonal variety. The distortions, compressors, phasers/flangers, chorus, reverbs are all at least pretty good sounding. I can't believe how much quality and variety they've packed into this little unit. You might find other units that have better quality and more control for each effect, but you will pay a lot more - many hundreds of dollars - and you probably won't get as intuitive an interface. It supports a chain of 5 effects, any order you like (so you can also make some weird mistakes like putting reverb before distortion, though maybe you want that). The rhythm section is easy to adjust - you can set various metronome styles, a number of different genres (the rock, shuffle, funk and jazz beats all worked well for me). Makes practicing more fun and more realistic if you've got the right groove going. The looper holds up to 30 seconds. Easy to use, you can overdub, so you can make some very complicated loops. I doubt this replaces a real looper but have no experience with any other kind of looper. I find it useful to set up a rhythm I like, loop a short backing chord progression, then practice on top of that. 30s isn't long enough for an extensive verse-chorus section (e.g., a 12-bar blues), but it's good enough for simple stuff. You can plug in headphones to the output jack (it's 1/4") and it'll serve as a headphone amplifier for private practicing. You can plug the output into an amp or PA input and hear your sound right out of the speakers. The free downloadable software (Zoom Guitar Lab) is even easier to use for patch tweaking, and it also lets you access some things you don't get from the pedal. Not necessary by any means, and the on-device interface is what I use 99% of the time. The usb port serves as both connection to your computer for the software and as a power supply. Note that it's not an audio interface (I assume that would have raised the price significantly), so if you want to record the output, you'll need to patch the output of this unit into a separate audio interface. Instruction manual and patch guide are very well written - you'll be using and exploring this thing with very little effort and all of the fun of having up to 5 simultaneous stomp boxes in front of you. I took this on a trip and had to remove from my gig bag to go through the TSA scanner because it's bigger than a cell phone, but had no problems from that process.

Wow - I mean, seriously?! This multi effects box is ideal for just about anything anyone would ever need. For starters, Zoom was right to see a massive hole in the market for an affordable multi effects processor, but the rest of what they have done with this genius item is what's most impressive. Why? Because it's one thing to conceive of such a product, but it's a dramatically different thing to be able to execute on that promise with such elegance, which is what Zoom has done. Here's what makes this thing amazing: - Spectacularly easy interface. Right out of the box, you're playing...and not just playing, but tweaking patches, effects, setting up features, etc. (The long-version of the manual is online, but honestly, one can learn 50% of all available features on one's own.) That's impressive interface design, my friends. - A full range of effects and effect parameter controls that translate to endless sound combinations. Mix and match, add, subtract, tweak, combine, re-order, save, rename, etc. You'll never run out of possibilities to design the sounds that work just for you and whatever style you prefer. - A built-in looper, tuner, and rhythm machine, all which can be customized. - It’s very clearly laid-out, physically; meaning, the buttons and their functions on the unit itself are intuitive to understand and to learn out of the box. - And if that’s not enough, the companion software online is like, honestly, a marvel in itself. It’s so EASY and so ROBUST - those two words rarely go together with companion softwares for products like these. You can backup all factory and your own custom patches for safe keeping, and each backup instance stays in a backup bank for future reloading, if needed. You can add new sounds from Zoom’s sound bank, you can remove certain effects, but keep them in a sortable list that allows you to reload with the click of a button. You can sort by effect type, memory size, etc., and even update the unit easily without a bunch of hoops to jump through. And so much more I can’t list here. I mean, the software alone is an achievement because it’s so freaking easy to use and so helpful. All of this in a package that is priced for any musician of any financial situation and any experience level. I tip my hat to the people at Zoom. They have created a superior multi-effects processor at a price point that is unreal. Bravo...and before I forget….THANK YOU!!!

I was able to find enough detailed reviews online that I don’t feel the need to do a deep-dive on zoom G1 FOUR. But I wanted to add an honest review on amazon, specifically for musicians around my age (55-65). I paid full price for this and would have returned it if I couldn’t use it. I got this specifically to use at work on lunch break and while I’m waiting for file process/render. Guitar > multifx > headphones. I will def use the drum patches and looper. Everybody has different opinion of what sounds “good”, obviously. I’ve been musician for decades. I've owned 60s 70s and later tube amps; fender vox marshall soldano bogner mesa egnater etc. I have A TON of stompboxes, tho live these days I primarily just use a klon clone and DD-8. I either build or modify my electric guitars; I always replace pickups. I use sc, stacked sc, hb, & mini hb. I like bitey icepick clean surf, 70s southern mid gain, Uli-era scorpions, sabbath, maiden, etc. I have never been a fan of scooped rectifier tone; just not my thing. So that’s me. DO NOT base your opinion of the G1 tone on youtube videos where somebody just cycles through presets. To me, the presets sound like an afterthought (when they *should be a sales tool). The factory patches on the G1 suck imo. Nothing came in the box. No cable, no PSU, and no user manual. Just the G1 and a “quick start” guide, which was useless for me. I googled to find the full user manual & FX list. I also downloaded zoom’s app, GuitarLab. My computer had trouble seeing and retaining conn to the zoom. I swapped usb cable and problem went away. The app seems quirky when finding the zoom. It doesn’t always work on the first try; unplug/replug. It *looks like it’s connected, but unable to edit anything, and then after maybe minute or so it finally works. YOU NEED THE APP! Not all of the fx and amp models are loaded in the zoom. Some of them are only available to load from the app. You use the app to unload and load the fx & models on the zoom. Out of the box the G1 memory was already at 98%. Before I did anything else, I printed out the fx list and went through every single thing. Everything that I knew for sure I wouldn’t be using, I removed from the G1. I’m picky so in my case I freed up a lot of memory. After that I went back through and added some things that I knew I wanted (or at least wanted to try). The amp and cab sims are individual, so in my case I deleted amps I didn’t want (rectifier & other boogie) but I kept all of the cabinet models. You can mix/match amp/cab. Some reviews say the zoom isn’t stereo. False. If you choose a stereo effect, it IS in stereo. This is great for someone like me using it with headphones to noodle at work. If you’re planning on using this live then stereo doesn’t matter. (I can’t imagine ever using this thing live omg lol) I’m not sure about creating/editing patches in the software while ALSO playing your guitar to hear differences. I’m sure you should be able to do this, but I didn’t. I’m not gonna have software at work so I learned how to edit patches (and edit fx and amps) on the zoom itself; it’s not that hard once you get gist of it. Just scrolling through amp models I landed on Bogner ecstasy (blue channel) and it’s fantastic, *in my opinion*. This first patch I sortof randomly created is maestro echoplex preamp > Bogner > boogie rect 4x12 (vin30) > delay > HD hall (verb). Sounds fantastic, at least with SC strat I’m using. You can rearrange your fx order any way that you want, but, you’re limited to 5 slots in the patch. Since I AM using the amp and cab models, that leaves just 3 slots. For me though just using it at work, I will duplicate patches right next to each other with whatever variations I want, then just push footswitch to go between them. There's no I/O for fx loop. I didn't try putting pedals in front of the G1; its just not something i'll use this for; but there's probably a video where somebody tries this. If you’re on the fence on this thing and cant find what you’re looking for in other reviews, I would say go download the full patch list and look it over. I went through every amp and cab (though not every possible combination!). There are three amps I dig that can do some level of gain, and I think about four amps with really good (imo) clean tones. Every amp has eq controls AND you can also do on the fly EQ (low, mid, hi) on the zoom itself for whatever patch you have.

For years I've wanted a totally clean practice headphone amp that would allow me to add a little reverb and delay. Long ago I had an "iGTR" unit that was nice, but it died along with the company that made it. Apparently the market consists primarily of those who want lots of grunge ("these go to 11"). I tried the VOX "Clean" unit and more recently the Valeton Rushead, but neither could produce a decent-quality clean sound. Then I spotted the Zoom G1 Four. It had to meet these criteria: 1) must fit in my Traveler Guitar case pocket 2) must run on NiMH rechargeable batteries 3) must have a headphone jack, and of course 4) must have a really nice clean sound and 5) must have decent reverb & delay. My biggest worry was that the G1 Four does not have a dedicated headphone jack, but rather claims that its output jack can drive headphones. Normal pedal outputs are "line out", capable of driving only high-impedance inputs; when you connect low-impedance headphones the volume is ridiculously low and the tone is incurably flat. I finally got tired of not wanting to practice because my headphone amps were so poor, so I finally took a chance and risked $100 on this thing. WOW. It works! Within a half hour I had read the (included) Quick Guide and designed two patches named "Rev" and "Rev+Dly". The sound is crystal clear. The effects, while not studio quality, are quite good. I was thrilled to see that both Reverb and Delay had a "tail" option, but these didn't seem to work when I switched between patches; I then read the effect-list manual and saw that "tail" works only when you turn the effect off, not when you switch patches (doing the latter would require an entire extra signal chain). But this is for practice and I wasn't expecting "tail" anyway. The part that amazed me was that the tone and volume are both very nice in headphones; apparently Zoom just implemented a headphone-out as its output jack, which should work fine when driving the high-impedance inputs of amps and other efx. Why can't other manufacturers do this? Anyway, I'm really pleased. Zoom even thoughtfully provides a cloth bag to protect the unit when you pack it in your case pocket or gig bag! No, it's not as convenient and small as having a headphone amp that plugs straight into your guitar jack, but I guess nobody can fit this kind of quality into that small a package. Anyway, gotta go now ... time to practice!

I’ve had a Zoom 505 pedal since 1997! This new pedal intrigued me so I got it and am amazed at what it can do! back in 1997 I paid $119 plus $17 shipping for the 505, so this new unit for just $96 shipped is amazing! The possibilities are overwhelming, but the interface is not too bad. Spend a little time with it and it becomes really easy to operate. The knobs and buttons do make it feel like you are operating each effects feature as a physical item and not a digital patch. It becomes intuitive quickly. Plus a ton of drum tracks and the ability to loop twice! Wow! Will you impress bandmates if you set this up in front of them? Short answer…. No. But for practicing and experimenting with sounds, I just love this thing! If there is anything I am a bit wary of, is that after noodling around with this for about an hour yesterday, at not a very loud volume through my Marshall Amp, my ears were ringing last night, and lost a little hearing this morning….it’s coming back now, but I think this unit puts out some harsh high frequencies that my old Zoom 505 didn’t do. I just need to watch my volume level and treble maybe. I love this thing too much to say anything else negative about it. I just noodle around in my music room, so I don’t have any high requirements that some might have. And for this purpose, the Zoom G1 Four will keep you entertained for a long time! Some tips to keep in mind: When using cabinet effects, “Mic OFF’ is default! You have to toggle “Mic ON” to get the true cabinet effect. Less crucial if playing through an amp, but through headphones or direct into PC, there is a massive difference in tone. There’s a million Youtube videos on setting it up and a million more videos on nailing that perfect tone of your favorite guitarist. Included is a Quick Start Guide, but be sure to go to Zoom’s website, enter in the pedal you bought, and scroll down to “Support”. There PDF. Files of the FULL 60 page manual, FULL list of what all the effects are, and a complete list of each preset patch. I printed all 3 files out and created a handy reference binder. The only thing the manual doesn’t mention oddly, is that after editing any patch, or after creating a new one, you can name /rename it. You just hit “Setting” - “Patch” and control the letters and positions with the two left knobs. It’s quick and simple. Some effects adjustments can be multiple pages….the far right knob scrolls to the next page of settings. Look for the far right to see things like 1/2 or 1/3 pages. That tells you what page you are on out of how many pages there are. (Also you can buy ANY 9V 500maH Negative center AC adapter to power the unit if you don’t want to use batteries. You don’t have to buy the overpriced Zoom AC Adapter. Just make sure the adapter is at least 500mah and negative center!)

Very versitile multi-effects with software support either through Zoom or other third party developers. The ability to truly create outside the box is this units main feature. This unit allows you to combine 0 to 100 per cent processing in the form of five slots/spaces. These spaces are where your signal chain is placed. Your signal chain is placed in any order you choose. Doing this changes your tone options others multi-effects pedals will not allow. As long as your signal chain remains under 100 per cent processing, the tone can be further manipulated to your liking. For example, you'd like to create a deep cavernous reverb: you can stack 5 reverbs into one signal chain so long as it doesn't exceed the 100% processing....or super high gain overdrive/distortion with delays: stack three or four distortions and one or two delays; again so long as it doesn't exceed the 100% processing. Another advantage of this pedal is the ability to load and unload only the effects, sims, mods you actually use. Also, by selecting cab sim options you can turn the mic on or off furthering you tonal range. Don't let the price fool you. It may be low cost, but it is feature rich, software supported, load and unload effects, amps, cab, mods, delays, reverbs. Chain stackable allowed by processing engine. You can got all out with creating super saturated tones or stick to simple tones where the depth is all controlled by your personal preference. Again, a very under-rated pedal due to its price point.....in the end every sound played by electrical means is synthesized...you will never know whether your 80$ knock off strat is really an 80$ knock off strat or an 3000$ Les Paul.

The Zoom G1 Four is a good product and it operated very well for the first 3 weeks and it was 5 stars. I used the Tonelib app to change settings and create new patches and it was very versatile. The Rythm and looper worked really well. After 3 weeks the looper started going out. When I played over the looper track, the recorded patch in the looper FADES OUT when I played over it. I did factory reset several times but the problem did not go away. Perhaps it was the programmed function that went haywire but annoying, nevertheless. Without that quirk or malfunction, the product is very good for practicing and creating tones.

Since starting apartment life, I've been on a quest for the ability to recreate a good amp sound I can appreciate with headphones--using a portable unit. I've always been a straight-into-the-amp player, employing a mic on the cab as needed, so processor pedals are a new world to me despite playing guitar for decades. I stumbled on the Zoom G1 Four, and decided it was worth a shot. Reviews raved about the amp simulations, and it gives the user a choice of cabinets. In my case, that made it just about perfect, so "add to cart" it went. It showed up a day before it was scheduled to (kudos once again, Amazon!), and while I don't remember if I was giggling or singing Christmas songs to myself while opening the box, I'm sure it was one of the two. The box contained the unit (um... right?), a few pamphlets about how to use it, and four AA batteries. Since the unit comes pre-programmed with TONS of sounds, I grabbed a guitar and was messing around within minutes. Depending on your playing style, there's several stock tones you might employ in your permanent lineup right out of the gate. While I found most of them gimmicky, a few struck me with just how rich and warm they are. Not all are defaulted to the same volume level, so it took a few fumbles on my part just to figure out how to fix that--which I was eventually able to do without looking at the manual. (Manual? We don't need no stinking manuals!) This pedal is customizable, and I reject comments some reviewers have made about it not being suitable for live use. It may come pre-configured with a zillion different tones, but you can remove what you don't like and rearrange the ones you do so that they'll be easy to find in Stomp mode. You can create your own from scratch, or go looking for user-generated patches which will at least give you a starting point. Most of these things can be done with relative ease using Zoom's free Guitar Lab software, which you can download from Zoom's website. Note that I said "relative ease." Guitar Lab's far from perfect. It has in its favor the fact that it's laid-out well, but it's clunky. It took nearly a full minute to see my pedal, which was plugged into my computer via USB (my computer's no slouch, so it's hard to point fingers in that direction). It kept insisting that I connect to the internet for more updates (I was already actively online). For some reason, it kept refreshing itself and knocking me out of things I was working on. It would spring that "connect to internet" warning pop-up every few minutes or so, and refuse to allow work to continue until clearing it. User-generated patches from other sites didn't want to import, forcing me to manually add their settings on my own. That said, Guitar Lab worked well enough that I was able to clear and add and tweak until my pedal was set to my liking--with lots of room to grow. Frustrating, sure, and that's why "User Interface" gets a three-star rating from me. Hopefully this improves in the future. Those of you who are familiar with multi-effects processors might charge right through everything which tripped me. But for those of you who are new to this game, take it from someone else who had no jolly idea what he was doing: with patience and time, you'll figure it out and wind up with exactly the pedal you want. Don't get this the night before a gig and expect to use it. Spend time with it. Get to know it. Within a week or so, I suspect you'll be off and running with nary a look back. Heck, it only took me a day to get most of what I wanted from it. There's hope for you. And it'll be worth it--the sounds are really that good!
