G2’s Rich Amp Models With an expanding library of patches and effects, guitarists can continue to expand their sound. Specifically, using the Guitar Lap app (for iOS / Android) Here’s What Comes Included: Record at home or in the studio by plugging the G2 FOUR/ G2X FOUR into your computer. Otherwise, use a smartphone via USB to record with your favourite effects and amp models. Guitar Lab

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. Play 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. The G2 Four is designed to connect to guitar amps, studio monitors, PAs and headphones. After switching on, you set up the G2 Four perfectly for your setup by selecting between LINE and AMP.Zoom’s product launch video shows how the G2/G2X Four’s arrow key cluster can be navigated with your foot. This is a hugely optimistic portrayal. In reality, the screen is too small and low-res to parse much useful information from sitting, let alone standing. The ‘up’ key is positioned in such a way that pressing it with your foot means you cover the entire screen. And try to press the centre button, and there’s a good chance you’ll also mash one of the directional buttons. 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). Play 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. Above all, each amp model is built with Zoom’s innovative Multi-Layer IRs, to recreate the tonal characteristics and feel of playing through classic amps and cabinets. Furthermore, these IR’s were captured from iconic cabinets at 3 different volumes and are blended and activated based on the volume of your guitar. G2’s Historic Guitar Sounds Each unit provides an input on a quarter-inch TS connector, an additional pair of which offer a stereo output. A headphone output is present on a 3.5mm TRS connector, and connectivity to a computer is taken care of by a USB-C port. The G2 Four measures 145 mm x 184 mm x 71 mm, and the slightly larger G2 Four measures 150 x 274 x 71 mm. Pricing & Availability

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 ChaosEach 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 Navigation 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 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 G2 FOUR/ G2X FOUR’s compact design and variety of effects make them a powerful addition to your existing pedalboard. Optimized for Amps, Monitors, and Headphones

Multi-Layer IR All the amp models included promise to recreate the tonal characteristics and feel of playing through real classic amps and cabinets. Developed using Zoom’s Multi-Layer IR technology, impulse responses have been captured at three different volume levels, which are layered together and activated based on the volume of the user’s guitar. Over 100 effects are provided, including reverbs, distortions, modulation effects, and more, up to seven of which are able to run concurrently. The devices come loaded with 250 factory presets, each of which aim to recreate the sound of iconic songs from the 1950s through to today. Control Would you be surprised to learn that it doesn’t get any better when I try to build my own patch? Slightly fatigued by the scooped high-gain sounds dominating the factory presets, I decide to give something ambient a go. So, I load up the basics: a pitch-shifter, a mono delay and – oh. The pitch-shifter and the delay have eaten most of the device’s CPU, meaning a bunch of the amps just refuse to load.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.
