About this deal

Play along with any of the 68 beats from the on-board rhythm machine. From metal, blues, and more the rhythm section is the perfect companion for practice. G2’s Audio Interface The Valetone GP-200 LT is just a hair more expensive than either Zoom unit, and it has a higher-resolution colour LCD screen, supports user IRs, has an effects loop, and can be controlled with a free desktop app, or, you know… MIDI. The ZOOM G2 FOUR and G2X FOUR give guitarists more tone variations than ever before thanks to all-new amp modeling and innovative IR technology. You’ll dial in amazing sounds right out of the box. The G2 FOUR and G2X FOUR take amp modeling to the next level. They combine faithfully reproduced models of classic amps (and a few new ones, too) and pair them with cabinet models that utilize our new Multi-layer IR technology. This gives guitarists both great tone and the feeling of that “big stage” sound in any environment. FEATURES

Build patches with over 100 effects, exploring a wide range of traditional and boutique tones, from classic spring reverbs to extreme distortions, modulation effects, wah, and more. Also, mix and match up to 7 effects to build your own custom patches. Navigate and Create Controls The G2 Four's compact design and diverse effects selection make it a powerful addition to any existing pedalboard. Each amp model is built with Zoom's innovative Multi-Layer IR's, to recreate the tonal characteristics and feel of playing through classic amps and cabinets. These Impulse Responses were captured from iconic cabinets at 3 different volumes and are blended and activated based on the volume of your guitar. Cross Key NavigationPlay along to any of the 68 beats on the built-in rhythm machine. This rhythm section is the perfect accompaniment when practising, whether it’s metal, blues or any other genre. Zoom G2 Four takes amp modelling to the next level. Carefully recreated emulations of classic amps are combined with speaker simulations using our new multi-layer IR technology. As a result, guitarists benefit from great sounds and always have the feeling of being on the “big stage”, regardless of the environment. In fact, the G2 FOUR and G2X FOUR take amp modelling to the next level. Specifically, they combine faithfully reproduced models of classic amps and pair them with cabinet models that utilize our new Multi-layer IR technology. This gives guitarists both a great tone and the feeling of that “big stage” sound in any environment. Multi-Layer IR Thanks to the ever-growing library of patches and effects, every guitarist can expand their sound selection via the Guitar Lab app (for iOS / Android). The internal patches include over 100 effects, recreating a wide range of traditional and boutique sounds, from classic spring reverbs to extreme distortion and modulation effects to wah-wah and more. Mix and match up to 7 effects to create your own patches.

For the G2X Four, you can only assign the motion of the expression pedal to a select number of effects, rather than whatever effect parameter you like. You can’t run effects in parallel, nor can you use more than one amp model at a time. There are a few stereo effects – but these are only actually stereo if they’re placed after the amp models, as the IRs are mono, and, again, you can’t use two amps. Each amp model is based on Zoom's innovative Multi-Layer IRs, which capture the sound characteristics as well as the feel of classic amps and speaker cabinets. These IRs have been sampled at three volume levels through legendary cabinets and can be crossfaded and activated depending on the volume of your guitar. Additional effects / patches can be installed, edited and saved via the Handy Guitar Lab app for iOS and Android. Zoom G2 Four takes amp modelling to the next level.

Sorry

That’s a whole lot of things you can’t do. But the most damning result of the meagre CPU is the actual audio processing. The G2/G2X Four have as much headroom as the contraption Giles Corey was pressed to death in, so even the amp models based on high-headroom pedal platforms have almost no dynamic range. And it’s really, really easy to make the unit clip internally: I was getting audible peaking from somewhere in the signal chain, with 6dB of headroom left on my audio interface. This wasn’t the result of using too many dirt pedals – this was with a plate reverb and a Fender Twin! App-solute Chaos All are named after real songs, but the actual sounds produced by the patches barely resemble their namesakes: the Paranoid patch, for instance, uses a scooped Big Muff fuzz entirely divorced from anything Tony Iommi ever played. The Purple Haze patch doesn’t use an octave fuzz effect, even though there is one in here, somewhere. The Dean Town patch uses twice as much overdrive as Cory Wong ever has. And so on.
