Ive had the zoom G1x Four (exact same as the G1 Four but with an expression pedal, hence the x, incase you didnt know) for about 2 months now and it is INCREDIBLE, ive sworn by this thing since i bought it, you can get some incredible tones and weird sounds out of it
They've had amazing cab sims since the G1ON days. It's a shame the entry-level models in the new line don't allow you to load custom IR's. I would buy ZOOM units all the time if they had that.
@@kiillabytez yeah but you don't have an effects loop on the zoom so you can't get stereo post effects after the cab section if you use an external IR Loader
I was heavily leaning towards getting the gp-100! After watching this video I will be going to my local guitar shop and getting myself a ZOOM gx-1 four! The sound between highs and lows seem to be better?!? What's your thoughts?
Zoom has PC software, too, and ToneLib has a 3rd party patch editor/patch backup utility. The lower end Zoom units can also be firmware hacked with FX from other lower end Zoom pedals.
I could use any of them as a handy tabletop processor with headphones. All very reasonably priced. Zoom sounds better than I thought it would but I like the "little" color screen on the MG300, likewise the metal enclosure of the Valeton is nice. Each has its own tonal identity in the demo tune. No losers here IMO.
I just bought the Valeton looks sick and sounds amazing and is all Black metal and has the most Metal sounding name. Can’t beat the price either. Wicked riffs and awesome demo.🤘🏻🎸🎶💀 cheers!
'the most metal sounding name' ..........That's the same as people voting for Justin Trudeau because he 'has nice hair'. In the end it proves to not be such a good method of choosing quality.
I had the Mooer GE150 for about four days, then I sent it back. It sounded good, but usability was just really bad. It has a few annoying things. Biggest problem is that changing patch does not happen when you press the button, but when you release it. The second biggest issue is that expression pedal range cannot be customized, you cannot assign an effect level and set for example minimum level at 30, max level at 50, it is minimum 0, maximum 100 all the time. So as I said I sent it back after a few days, bough a Hotone Ampero and never looked back.
With the custom IR, they are all in the same ballpark. I was actually most impressed by the Zoom though I think (that's not something I ever expected to say). On a different note, did you catch the Behemoth livestream last week? So good!
Ah damn, now I almost regret ordering my Mooer GE200...after that I am interested in hearing how the others Zoom multi effect units sound...thanks for the video and congrats on the sponsor. Just don't forget about us peasants when the big names get in touch with you.
G1 Four has so much variety that you'd be hard pressed to find something you CAN'T use, except maybe the bomb sound, but I'm sure SOMEONE will even find a use for that too.
Yeah, it's got a quality tuner and looper, and for $85, it's a steal just for that. Add to it the ton of other features and the G1 Four wins hands down.
Uhh no it sounds too thin I mean the chug was super thin and it sounds like the mids are on tilt no offense but not sure what you think good guitar sound and tone is but that's not it
Isn't it pronounced 'New-X'? Overall, I thought the Zoom sounded best here. Was a little woofy/thumpy on the low end. Perhaps a high pass filter would fix that? The Mooer came in a close second.
Back in my day, you could buy an incredible pedal like the MXR Distortion +, an EHx Big Muff or Pro Co RAT, for about $50-65 and you absolutely adored your purchase. Today, $65 will get you a pedal that you were merely content with. With that said, at $85, the G1 Four is an absolute steal and I promise, you will adore it as well.
I need to find another video that will show clean and ambient sound of this. Idk why almost all guitarist in youtube need to play dirty tones all the time, as if everything you play in your gig is distortion
It’s a total anti climax when you get to the end of the video and then you don’t offer your opinion Taylor. Is it because you are getting funding from each of the manufacturers or something? Given that you are experiencing the pedal first hand and some of us at least just listening to it through small speakers. It would be really helpful to know your opinion on the subject.. after all you know what you were trying to achieve in setting up a sound on each unit. Which unit achieved the sounds That were best for you. I really appreciate how on Leo Gibson’s channel - he very diplomatically gives his opinion without shit canning any particular piece of gear.
one thing that stands out is latency which zoom excels, I have a mooer, sounds great but the latency can`t be ignored, don`t have valeton and NUX, but I heared they have this issue as well.
Wow, that Zoom really out performs it's price! I liked it best with the stock IR's. Got it's ass kicked in the custom IR round though... Still, really good for that price!

Not a bad sounding unit in the bunch! They all sound pretty badass. The zoom suffers a bit with the custom IR, in my opinion, but still, even that said, it doesn't sound bad
Depends on the IR in reality. Sometimes we're used to a certain sound and expect that sound and are disappointed when we don't achieve that sound. I am a little biased as I own the Zoom, but even if I didn't, the Zoom just packs too much for the price. If you can't get a great tone from it, you're either not trying or just don't know what you're actually trying to achieve with it.
For someone who needs something with a good metal tone but cant use an amp necessarily and something that can be used for a silent jam which would you recommend? Just need something to from guitar to a mixer and into headphones.
Goes to show that just like cabs in a live setting, the IR makes ALL the difference. With stock, I liked the mooer and nux. It was neck and neck (for me) with the custom IR
No, BUT I think a lot of people's perception of how I feel about the ZOOM is skewed because of the way I edited and presented the video. Things were not going my way that day, and I thought people would laugh at my pain, but it came off as me being shitty towards the zoom. I think the zoom is pretty decent for what it is. My main gripe is it's made for beginners, but isnt user friendly. Other than that I think it's fine. Not something I'd ever use, but if anyone else likes it, more power to em! 💪
Simple but killer question for me : Which one has to loudest headphones output level ? I need this to be very loud for tuning guitars on a HD25 over my in-ears before sending them on-stage. If you have one for comparison, the POD x3 is crancked almost all the way up ...
TBH, I'm not sure. I might prefer the Nux, just because it's really easy to use and has a clean UI. Sound wise, I think they're all in the same ball park.
Imo the NUX is the best one for the features it has. Not only its a digital multi fx pedalboard but can also be used as a direct input to your pc without the need of an audio interface
@@MrBeen992 One doesn't follow from the other. The Zoom G1 Four definitely can not. It does not transmit sonic information through USB, you can only interface with the firmware using it.
I had a a zoom g1xfour and sold it when I got a mooer ge100. Everyone asks me what im using to get my sounds. I run it thru the effects loop return on my amps and it really shines. Plus mooer ge100 has 180 second looper!
@@enzocarranza I don't think so. I tried a ts clone in front and it would not work at all. I think I tried it between the output and the amp too, nothing. So I don't think you can, unless you run it through effects loop as you would an effect. Then you could run pedals in the front of your amp. Know what I'm saying?
Just recently received my GE-150. Ordered it before seeing this review, or any other for that matter. I've only spent about 15 minutes with it so far, still waiting on my new Jackson V to arrive before I really put it to use. IT SOUNDS AWESOME so far. But honestly, that ZOOM has the MEATY MIDs I love. In comparison, the other 3, my GE-150 included, sound a bit "tinny". Then again, being a tech-head, I LOVE the BIG SCREEN on the GE-150. Haven't seen any reviewer yet, use the "DIMEBAG 147" setting on the GE-150. Just curious if that would add the meaty middle to compare with the Zoom. ::)
Zoom was a clear cut winner to me. Woulda liked to see some varied tones, and styles of playing rather than only distortion and metal, especially after sitting through that DistroKid ad controversy segment.
Zoom sounds the best here 'couse it's EQ is balanced. The rest processors needs a lot of mid cutting down in this recording, therefore it's hard to tell wich is best, but I still think it would be Zoom anyway. I have Nux MG 300, but I use it only as a drum machine and looper. Can't compare to the real gear, so I think they all sound terible. I better use real pedals, cabs and mics.
i try NUX and MOOER .. sound is same good ,. but mooer is better than nux maybe for a little bit higher price but have better build quality and connection features .
For those who were / are confused as me Valvetron sounds are okayish. Buy this only if you know you are a rough user as it has metal body Moore is good but costed a bit more and was out of my budget Zoom G1 four is good unit. Biggest advantage being it's battery operated I almost went to buy it but then got an opportunity to play the Nux 300 side by side and even to my untrained ears the Nux sounded heaps better. So got the Nux. 👍
I have the nux mg300 and it’s pretty good but does take a little bit to get set up and running I’m going to try your ir in it and see what I can do with it.
I heard you can plug one of these to a headphone and use it without an actual amp. I'm a beginner that's just starting out and I'm currently using a really cheap headphone-plug amp (JOYO JA-01), for my money's worth, should I get one of these and plug a speaker/headset in, or should I get an actual amp in the same price range like Vox Pathfinder 10?
All of these have amp simulators and CAB Impulsive Response, so yes, you can use them with headphones and also plug directly through a DI box and play live withaut any amps.
Great video!! Is it possible for all of them to be recorded with no sound card, direct with their own USB connection? If so, do I still need a sound card for better results or that's just enough? Tks man !!
@@TaylorDanley Next video idea, for the way some of them can be used is to compare the USB out sound vs the analog sound out into an interface. After A LONG trial and error and even though I find that with better sound cards you can have around the same (but not exactly) results, the USB interface is always far more useable, less congested and with better bass response, even if it is just 16/48 or 24/44,1 or 24/48. It gets a bit weirder on the treble response, sometimes is one or the other. You don't have to shootout between all of them, just one that can be used both ways. There is a catch though. In order to properly get the results you want to hear, mixed, you should use something like asio4all, use the USB audio driver as input (modeller), have stereo recording enabled on the DAW but use the sound card you usually mix with as output. I can tell you from now that it works, it allows you to hear/adjust the modeller as you want it to hear (because if you use it as the "complete" sound card it will sound a lot different than your normal soundcard: think headphones, you will be mixing on the headphones of the modeller (!) that way and then listening through the headphones of the sound card afterwards, it will be very different. So the real way to do it is use the asio USB from the modeller as input and the asio of the sound card you normally use as output. You will have dropouts sometimes but I will like to hear your thoughts or A/B comparisons. I seem to find that via USB it's a lot more studio grade like recordings. You do end up with one less analog to digital conversion and it can be a bitch mathematically if the sample rates used are 44,1 to 48 etc...
love the video....sick riffs bro but you didn't mention what type of amp you used and if you used the exact same settings for all units with no added booster or anything else !!!
Zoom has really good amp and FX modelling, but their built-in cabinet emulation/IR loader handling is just terrible. Get a zoom and a rack power amp or like a Joyo BlueJay, Mooer BabyBomb, or Valeton TAR-20G, turn off the cab sim and throw it in the FX loop. I have mine in the loop of a Joyo JackMan II and I'm more than happy. Otherwise, use external IR loaders, turn the bass down a bit, and roll off the extreme highs and lows somewhere in the FX chain in your DAW.
@@kiillabytez I'm talking about using it with an actual cab, but in both that situation and using external IR loaders, yes, turn off the internal IR/cab sim loading feature.
Thanks for the love guys! Let me know which one you prefer! Did I miss one? 👇👇🤘🤘
Great video is ToneLib used to get the zoom g1 Four custom IR's on to the unit ? I cant see another way to do it.

This may be of interest: ruclips.net/video/5iadEC2CJ10/видео.html
I have the nux mg300 and it’s pretty good but does take a little bit to get set up and running I’m going to try your ir in it and see what I can do with it.
i am going to buy one, which one is better mg300 or zoom g1x four??
@@ecl1psedbydx to me the nux is better but I have sense given the nux to a buddy as I got a headrush mx5 which is better than both
Great work! Congrats!! Do you think that the MG300 sound is more like organic or more like plastic and artificial?
I think it sounds great, but I think most of these units sound great now 🤷♂️
Ha! Actually liked the Zoom w the custom IR best. So much 1k in the other units. Also grats on the sponsor bruh!
Thanks Chris!
I don't know about the pedals but that custom IR was way fucking better than the stock ones............
It's a pitty zoom can't handle impulse responses and has only a 30 sec looper
I heard you can plug one of these to a headphone and use it without an actual amp. I'm a beginner that's just starting out and I'm currently using a really cheap headphone-plug amp (JOYO JA-01), for my money's worth, should I get one of these and plug a speaker/headset in, or should I get an actual amp in the same price range like Vox Pathfinder 10?
All of these have amp simulators and CAB Impulsive Response, so yes, you can use them with headphones and also plug directly through a DI box and play live withaut any amps.
Zoom is better than all but it black screen and not have pedal
the Zoom G1X FOUR is the same as the G1X except it has a pedal and is still cheaper than the other petals.
Zoom no doubt. Your playing is beautiful and powerful. New subscriber. Thanks.
The kick drums won.
Turu dut dit dut dut was al i heard
Great video!!
Is it possible for all of them to be recorded with no sound card, direct with their own USB connection?
If so, do I still need a sound card for better results or that's just enough?
Tks man !!
Yep. I dont know how much, if at all, better the results would be...bi just record straight into an interface out of convenience
The zoom g1four can't be used as an interface , I don't know about the rest of the pedals.
@@TaylorDanley Next video idea, for the way some of them can be used is to compare the USB out sound vs the analog sound out into an interface.
After A LONG trial and error and even though I find that with better sound cards you can have around the same (but not exactly) results, the USB interface is always far more useable, less congested and with better bass response, even if it is just 16/48 or 24/44,1 or 24/48.
It gets a bit weirder on the treble response, sometimes is one or the other. You don't have to shootout between all of them, just one that can be used both ways. There is a catch though.
In order to properly get the results you want to hear, mixed, you should use something like asio4all, use the USB audio driver as input (modeller), have stereo recording enabled on the DAW but use the sound card you usually mix with as output. I can tell you from now that it works, it allows you to hear/adjust the modeller as you want it to hear (because if you use it as the "complete" sound card it will sound a lot different than your normal soundcard: think headphones, you will be mixing on the headphones of the modeller (!) that way and then listening through the headphones of the sound card afterwards, it will be very different.
So the real way to do it is use the asio USB from the modeller as input and the asio of the sound card you normally use as output. You will have dropouts sometimes but I will like to hear your thoughts or A/B comparisons.
I seem to find that via USB it's a lot more studio grade like recordings. You do end up with one less analog to digital conversion and it can be a bitch mathematically if the sample rates used are 44,1 to 48 etc...
He is asking if you can record straight from these units as interfaces themselves. The answer is no. You need an input for your DAW in between.
Damn homie you've came a long way in subscribers! Congrats my guy. Fucking dope song too
🥳 thanks dude! 🤘
Why zoom sound like there is two cabinet run
Valeton sounds better for me, has a cleaner and more defined sound
Zoom
Period! 💪🤘
Nux and Mooer sounds close with that custom IR.
But Id go with nux just because of that pc software.
The NUX and Valeton sounded pretty slick with Custom IRs.
Seems you can make them all sound pretty convincing. Or is that just Taylor?
Cheers man!
😂😂 🤷♂️🙌
I think the Zoom sounded best, in this demo at least.
ZOOM wins !
love the video....sick riffs bro but you didn't mention what type of amp you used and if you used the exact same settings for all units with no added booster or anything else !!!
He definitely said they were all dual rectifier with a tube screamer.
how do you load the custom IR to the G1 Four?
Zoom has really good amp and FX modelling, but their built-in cabinet emulation/IR loader handling is just terrible. Get a zoom and a rack power amp or like a Joyo BlueJay, Mooer BabyBomb, or Valeton TAR-20G, turn off the cab sim and throw it in the FX loop. I have mine in the loop of a Joyo JackMan II and I'm more than happy. Otherwise, use external IR loaders, turn the bass down a bit, and roll off the extreme highs and lows somewhere in the FX chain in your DAW.
You just have to remember to turn off the built in IR when you use an external IR.
@@kiillabytez I'm talking about using it with an actual cab, but in both that situation and using external IR loaders, yes, turn off the internal IR/cab sim loading feature.
now I know what some people say about nux sounds like its sound comes out of a tunnel
I love this review so much,nice riff bro
It seems the more expensive they get the less clarity you get from them.
Can I use one of those with a bass guitar?
Does the G1 Four really have the ability to load custom IRs?
Nope, so not really sure what's happening here...
Can you share the patch for the zoom ??
2:58 6C made me laugh my ass off
I need that custom IR for The Valeton……..
Can link the zoom tone patch? Would love to use it
Has anyone use the headphone outs of these bad boys and if they’re any good?
