zoom multi effects

[shredrat]

just check out the soft online store and found out bout the zoom multi effects pedal,wanna know if it is useful? any users keen to share their opinions?

IMO any pedal is useful if you know how to use it

I use the G2.1 (u can hear a short sample at Open Mic). I like it as i can have a whole range of effects and what not at a fraction of the price of getting individual pedal. But some wld say at a fraction of the quality also. But honestly, its good enuf for me as i can also plug in straight into my PC via USB and record.

zoom products are ok i guess for starters. im using a zoom 606 in the mean time. it has all the effects u need. however, the expression pedal that comes with is very limited of space in terms of how high it can go if u know what i mean. overall its ok to get alot of decent tones/sounds. does the work for me.

hey i'm using a zoom 606 too..it does the work for me, tho i dont like the expression pedal v much..

I use an A2, sound is not the best, but still good enough IMO for the price you are paying, smaller compared to normal multi-effects pedals, but there are enough effects for you to tweak around with..

currently using a 707II.. the expression pedal is rubbish.. i only like 10 effects out of the 70+ inside, namely the mtzone and jc chorus and the dry overdrive.. so i guess multifx are a hit or miss thing.. saving up for individual pedals, then i can finally sell this bitch away..

 

[AEnimic]

hehe...help me sell my behringer too

well, yeah multifects (in general) is a some sort of TRIAL of the pedals u like...coz when u start roaming the land of Pedalism...u might not know how all the pedals sound (flanger,chorus,delay,reverb)....multifects help u familiarise with the sound and then u will start GAS-ing over individual pedals..

^^ yes yes.. once you start gassing, say farewell to your cash.

Me using G2.1u now...great effects pedal, though I don't really utilise its functions well...only using its overdrive and tremolo only...will stop using it only until I get an amp that has a similar sound and boost...

Hi everyone,
I have used zoom for quite sometime and I found that the G series is better sounding than GFX.

Do you guys notice this too or is it just my ear :lol:

yup, definitely and all the added features at similar prices eg metronome/beats/tap tempo

used the GFX5 for 2 years ... i wud say if u knows how to tweak it, it can sound really sweet ... but sad to say, it's dying on me soon ... it's a good multi-effects to use and choose the sounds that u like ... and if u have the cash, can goes into individual stompbox ...

it's all personal taste ... what u want, how u want it ... player+guitar+effect+amp ... happy rocking and gassing ...

i see...anyways are individual effects always better than multi-effects? lets say a boss ds1 compared to the distortion in a multi-effect pedal.thanks alot.

IMO individual pedal will have better control over it..and it sounds better..
