Zoom G1XN Guitar Multi Effects Pedal Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok, so I bought this because my friend had an old Zoom multi-effects pedal and he recommended getting one. It's a solid pedal, but has a few drawbacks. First the positives:
Pros:
-Has a lot of room to store custom presets (up to 40, with 40 factory presets you can't permanently change). These are fun to create.
-Has many effects that are decent in quality, and gives a fair amount of control over them.
-Easy to use, came with wallet card explaining the readout, but this is unnecessary after a few days.
-Sounds very good through headphones.
-Comes with AC adapter.
-Pretty well priced. Definitely a good value.
Cons:
-The drum machine sucks. Boring and quiet, even at full volume.
-You can't run more than one effect from each section, which means you can't layer a lot of effects.
-The noise gate is really crappy. It does remove the noise while you're not playing (as a noise gate is supposed to) but when you stop playing the noise comes through for about half a second before fading out, and sometimes it dulls your pick attack. For those who know noise gates, the attack and release are pretty slow, with a hold that's too long for most of my guitar playing.
-The distortions are pretty lame. Many sound very similar and they're all a bit muddy, even when you adjust the EQ.
-The pitch bending effect is pretty poor, but not useless. It sounds shaky and poppy when you bend the pitch more than half an octave.
It'd be much better to get a different pedal for each effect this pedal creates, but that'd be really expensive. All in all, this pedal is great for beginning players or advanced players on a budget.
