I have seen complaints about Line 6, Boss, Zoom, Fender, Mooer, Nux, and that Fractal and Kemper were over rated and over priced......That is pretty much all the amp model manufacturer's I think. It would appear no one is happy. ....or there are a lot of impatient people that do not know how to tweak....Thanks for this presentation; You obviously know what you are doing. Cheers!
Tottally agree, seems like one is happy about anything anymore. Almost three years later I'm still happy with how this thingy sounds, and honestly I haven't even used 50% of it's features. I'm more of a one trick pony kinda guy in the way that if I like X type of distortion I would rather to just save and buy the real thing, but this little unit is a steal.
I bought one a couple years ago. It seems very capable of giving me crunch, and apparently, no one listening is going to care about differences between this and a tube amp... i think it was the right choice! I still enjoy it so that's what counts
I use a nux mg300 with a zoom g1xfour as a first pedal on my chain. I use the tube screamer and pitch shifter from the zoom to boost my nux patches and change tunings...paired with the boss katana mkii 50 in the power amp in, It sounds pretty good with a custom IR and some eq tweaking on the nux...i didn't get them all at once...Its more like bought them on a budget during my 3-6 years of playing even though I'm not that good lol. Even my guitar isn't that expensive...Kinda glad these budget gears are available to people... Considering the g3xn has more effects slot than the g1xfour, I'm pretty sure it'll be pretty versatile and a bang for your buck for general use for people since g1xfour only has 5 effects slots which includes amp and cab sims.
Woow interesting setup! The great thing is that these days you don't need to spend 3000$ on guitars and pedals to sound good. 30 years ago people would have died to have such good sounding multi fx unit at such an affordable price. If it sounds good, it's good,period. It's just that people are afraid to bring gear like this to live situations because " it's not pro enough" which I think it's sad. Thaks a lot for sharing your rig!
@@headbangfridays cool! I already purchased a second hand one for about 85€ in meant condition and it sounds like a bargain, for such a complete pedal. Thanks for the help deciding the right one ;)
Hallo sir.. why your guitar sound very clean without any noise. even though you use quite a lot of drives.. i am a zoom g5n user too but my guitar is very noisy even though i have used znr and noise gate.. I hope you give me advice.. Thanks before.
Just because these days if you are not rocking an axe fx or a kemper or something above 1k $ then you are not worthy of playing live and most likely you'll be crucified on the internet! xD But I bet my ass if X famous guitar player started using this pedal live then ....
You won't be dissapointed with this unit as your first! And it won't break your bank either... Just don't trust in the preset's cuz they will mislead you!
@@headbangfridays Hey one last question.... does the wah control the sound?? My music instructor has a processor wherein the wah works as a volume control so i was really curious.... btw thx for the help👍🏻
Honestly the cab sims are good, they feel natural, I have only used amps and then external IR via the DAW, but sometimes I just end up using the cab SIMS from the unit.
Great tutorial! I was wondering if this unit could do a convincing high gain tone. I’m sold
I'm very glad to know that this video helped you! 🍺🤘🏼

" if it sounds good, it's good"
just don't tell anyome it costed less than 1K... Cuz then all of the sudden it will sound bad to their ears!
Great massive metal tone and perhaps if
You use it with T Racks even more well rounded I might decide to buy one and do my own demo
That's exactly how you create your own tone!! Go for it, and comment here once you upload the video so I can hear it!!
I use this live, works fine for my needs.

IT IS AWESOME !!!! THANKS
Absolutely. Engage the mic for cab sims 👍
Amazing! Can you stack different delays or even distortion along the same chain? Thanks for sharing
Yes you can !

Soon , all the multi effects, ' brands in mxr, boss , and more , following......this kind .( zoom are leadership
Awesome!! I'll be using it on gigs, not massive, but because #poor but.. why do you say so btw? I'm intrigued haha, nice video!

How you managed to play guitar through Zoomlab?
Well I'm still playing through the ZOOM G3XN , ZOOMlab it's only controlling the unit, which it's suuper convenient and confortable / easy to use
@@headbangfridays so you connected Zoom through usb, and guitar into Zoom and then ZoomLab can work as amp or?
Hey I'm like a new guy on processors and stuff..... is it like a good first purchase as a processor (I'm looking for a budget processor😬)
You won't be dissapointed with this unit as your first! And it won't break your bank either... Just don't trust in the preset's cuz they will mislead you!
@@headbangfridays Hey one last question.... does the wah control the sound?? My music instructor has a processor wherein the wah works as a volume control so i was really curious.... btw thx for the help👍🏻
@@joshuatmn yup you can either set it as a wah wah or a volume pedal :)
@@headbangfridays THX mate I'm gonna buy this ASAP😁
you could've switch the recti amp to modern 👌🏼
I also like the modern Ch... Yet I feel that everything is a bit tighter on the other Ch
are the preamps and cabsims good to use? or would you prefer different pedals for preamps/cabsims?
Honestly the cab sims are good, they feel natural, I have only used amps and then external IR via the DAW, but sometimes I just end up using the cab SIMS from the unit.
Midi pedals on , guitars sounds good ?
Why didn't you use a noise gate?? 🤔
Normally I like to add it in post. But I'm always struggling to set the threshold just right so that I don't end up killing a suntained note.
Sir, how to edit heavy metal sound of Ts drive of zoomg3xn.
Gain: 0 / Boost :Off / Tone : around 60/50 /volume : leave just as it is .... This will all depend but its normally what everyone does. 🙂
@@headbangfridaysthankyou sir so how to store it,?
@@centlyngdoh1171 once happy with your patch just hit the "menu" button and then select " save "
Sorry sir, I cannot do it please show me on vedeo to idit zoomg3xn to heavy metal ,and lead, I am from North East India meghalaya state.
@@centlyngdoh1171 where did you get your zoom from? Shillong?
Soon , all of us, download, effects on pc .done..
I see.i said, this multi effects pedals , ' ZOOM '......ok
Nice vid man thanks 👍 my unit has a broken usb port but will try your patch by entering it manually. What pick-ups are in that guitar?
Thanks! It's the seymour duncan invader.
Fast ways, easy ways , to do sounds setting-up....best ways .for , me.because , I know , what I need , pedals , ....which 's and what's!!!!
Is the distortion thick on g3xn?
Imho it's ok, I think you can get quite a decent tone
@@headbangfridays do you have any idea how if distortion thickness is same in zoom g1x four as this one? thanks
@@vanngir3180 I couldn't tell, I haven't used the g1x, maybe try to check some demos here on youtube and compare 🙂
