Zoom G1X Four for a toss around Effects Unit

[Greg Mein]

Anyone using one of these? In a world full of high falutin, overpriced, everything under the Sun emulating multi-FX pedals this looks like it might be just what I need. Simple, cheap and easy to work with.

 

Since my main function has returned to guitar I've had a little bit of a dilemma; I have either my old stomp box pedals from the 80's (DOD overdrive, analog delay, chorus/flanger, Dunlop wah, Boss etc.) or the Digitech GSP1101, a rack mount processor with the huge tank like Control 2 remote foot controller. The latter is just too awkward and I've preferred to just leave it at home.

 

I once had the Zoom 505 and although it was a minimal, plastic, low end little thing it did work. The pedal I most liked was the Digitech RP2000 and I kind of wish I'd never sold that one. This one certainly follows the 505 protocol; small, plastic and cheap but it checks the boxes on ease of use, function, size and portability. I especially like the fact it will run on batteries.

 

I'd be interested to know what others might have discovered about using this thing, thanks!
