Thanks for an honest review. Everyone out there simply says everything is awesome hoping to get free stuff in the mail.
You're welcome bud.
My solution to this problem is owning 2 of them. I run a G3N into a G5N, which may seem over the top but it doubles the processing power and I can use all 7 buttons as individual stomp boxes, and it works in any scenario. The tone knob on G5n solves virtually all sound guy / room issues. I can also use this rig for bass and spent less than 500 for both for a full stereo live/recording rig that sounds great after some tweaking
Also I really wish the factory presets defaulted to the mic setting "on" for the cab. It makes an IMMENSE difference. Also put the AIR reverb in your chain to achieve the sound of a real amp!
@@CurranLong
Hi, I have read somewhere that in order to use it correctly in an amp the "Mic" option should be turned "Off". If this is correct, I imagine it was probably done because lots of people are more interested to use it in an ampli instead of linked to a soundcard. I am wondering if it should be turned "On" also used into a mixer to the public address loudspeakers.
@@littlebritain64 You're absolutely correct. My main purpose is using this with headphones or direct into PA system, so 'mic' setting must be turned 'on'. I rarely use it into an amp but when I do I turn the speaker simulation off completely.
Thanks for your honest review. I get the problem you explained at 7:16. My suggestion would be to duplicate the patch (one with delay and one without it or with whetever effects you need for the solo) and put it next to each other. That way it would able to switch it faster. Also, since there are 200 slots so having such "duplicates" next to each other should not be a problem. I don't have this pedal (but considering it) and therefore my suggestion is purely theoritical! What do you think?
That does work, but then if you want to change something in the patch, you have to edit multiple patches. I've used that approach with success but I was annoyed by all the editing
@@GRANTwow I agree such editing can be annoying on the unit. However, I use Tonelib - PC?mobile interface for my Zoom G1Xon. Eg, I have two patches next to each other - one with wah and the other without. When I change something in one, I immediately make that change in the other patch. Alternatively, if you change an effect setting in a ptach which has the addtional effect, then in Tonelib you could just copy-paste to another slot and then delete the additional effect.
Lots of great infos, thanks for the review!
Spot on review. Like GRant says, use it with the patches; use the computer patch editing ‘Guitar Lab’ software and it’s great but not all things to all people because it has limitations. Tip 1 - To equalise patch volume for seamless mid song changes; crank up the in-patch volume of the quietest patch first. Tip 2 - Save patch settings onto computer & factory re-set the pedal anytime without losing hours of work. Tip 3 (read tip 2 first) Bear in mind that a) patches 1 to 100 can all be overwritten with whatever you want and in any order you want b) patches 101 to 200 are empty by default c) the same patch can appear more than one place. All this means that you would have 200 slots available to organise multiple ideal patch sequences in song order for a whole gig if you wanted to. I think that deals with one of GRant’s biggest beefs. A great review thank you GRant because you cover issues well that are not mentioned or poorly covered elsewhere.
I appreciate the kind words and good tips
I recommend having a different patch set differently for solos and another one for rhythm or clean parts. The thing has over a hundred memory for creating patches.
Patch 1:rhythm
Patch 2: solo
Patch 3: clean
that's exactly how I do mine 1-rhythm, 2-lead, 3-clean, 4-light crunch
Can you assign distortion and delay effect on one pedal/button? I have a song that I use multiple effects in different sections and it would be great if this did that.
@@Sattvaarising The way the stomp box mode works is that we can turn any 4 of the 9 effects at once without scrolling around the signal chain. But we cannot assign 2 or more to a single button\stomp pedal. So i recommend you to try making a patch eg. A lead patch with your desired delay and gain settings and then duplicating that same patch to the next patch with the delay and gain tured off or low.
It works best this way bro
I never use a 'stomp box' feature of a
processor, I create my patches and that's
it, hopefully this G5N or the G3 will be able
to cover that.
..and I agree with 1, 2, 3 , for me its usually
clean, rhythm, solo, solo boost .. then other
patch banks will duplicate that but with less
distortion, more , chorus on clean , whatever
might best cover a song I'm covering.
Thanks for this review. Im glad i watched this before I bought it.
I know it's been a while, but your patch is solid here 4:03. Very good sound.
Good review. Thanks. I have been using the G5n for gigging, direct to PA, for 18 months. 3 times in the last month, I have had players who were in the audience approach me post gig to find out how I got such great tone, for guitar and bass, and all were amazed I was using this unit.
I play in a 3 piece, and 2 of us switch between guitar and bass, generally between sets. The key to this unit is patches. I don't use any of the supplied patches. Not a single one. I moved from an orange tube amp, to this unit, for guitar, and a DI unit for bass. My approach was to play around with the amp modelling and speaker combos to match the sound I had developed using my amp, then used that as a basis for all my patches. Great starting point. Very flexible.
I create a single patch for each song, saved under song name. All managed through the Guitar Lab software. This is where the zoom really excels. You can back your patches up. You can even create them, as long as the unit is plugged in to the PC. It makes the management of this piece of kit a breeze, and it is so easy to tweak. If I am desperate for very different sounds I use 2 patches for single songs.
The versatility of the sounds you can create in the zoom, is incredibly under-rated. Do do anything similar on another unit, I would have to spend twice as much.
As for the Bass. The ability so share patches, either by pictures to copy, or swapping patches online, was a a real bonus. There are plenty of really good bass patches out there, so I tried them all, picked my favourite sound for my bass, and again, used this as the basis for my modification.
There are some things I don't love.
The power cable is sub-par, and I travel with a spare, as I know it will die....it's a matter of time.
It didn't come with a case....and to buy the case costs 1/3 of the price of the unit. WTF.
Colour coding (changeable LEDs) would have been a great addition for quick stomps.
A little more DSP headroom. It can max out with all the goodies.
Most important. When the Wah is off, why does it not default to a volume pedal?
The ability to universally turn off the amps, to run into an amp would have been nice.
The new G11 looks like it has a bunch of these features I'd like. It's just been announced in prototype, so price is an unknown. Fingers crossed it is affordable.
G5n used is $150... (Great price for it's capabilities.) G11 will be probably around $400. But there's Line 6 POD GO coming for $450, with Helix and color coded stomps. If G11 sticks to the layout (stomp mode being unusable live), then POD GO wins IMO if somebody likes Helix.
Looking forward to checking out the new stuff. I think the future is bright.
@@GRANTwow Just a little better, all the time ;) Back in G5 generation of effects, they still left something to be desired. G3X and G5 still have this "thing" of old Zoom I can quickly pick. I think after G5n / Yamaha THR10 / POD h500x, the rest is about improving usability. The tone is already here. Damn, even original POD 2.0 bean still sounds ok. If something sounds good now, it will sound good in the years to come.
Even my Headrush and Helix goes left to right with the signal chain dude so theres no problem there ..... Also, if youve never used a patch before, you shouldn't be playing gigs... This unit is straight forward and has great effects, dont over complicate things with it man and it will work great for live gigging. AND you have to remember, this unit is a third the price of a Headrush etc..
OK lol, thanks a lot for ur cool comment
Great stuff - worth a million of the 'I just bought this and plugged it in - I wonder what this does?' videos.
I have mostly acoustic instruments, a Ukulele, autoharp, keyboards and guitar. These I hope will go through this unit (I am waiting for the unit to be delivered here). I've compared the units I could afford and settled on this unit. It seems very good spec wise. Low noise, and stereo out is more than appealing. Tons of decisions over what patches I will through out. All the distorted OD will likely be thrown out. I like the sound of old tube amps hopefully there's a number of good ones there. I'll be feeding my Focusrite Scarlet 4i4 with this gear. My software also has several effects. I wish this unit had a stereo input, none of the other multi-effect boards in my price range had that either.
I hope someone already told zoom about this stompbox issue so they can fix it for the next firmware update.
I find these fx type pedals are for well organized players. Not pro or beginners, just well organized and don’t stray for creative purposes. So you play 6 songs in a set, you have your 6 settings ready to go. Plain and simple. I don’t think this is a rig for sonic youth or Radiohead. Possibly a rig for music with less adlib and messing around trying to get crazy feedback and sounds. This is a pedal for people who stay within the lines if that makes sense.
I agree, not good for live tweaking. Great for studio tweaking, however!
Maybe for working musicians then? Anyways, do you have any suggestions for more "creative" edit on the fly multieffects pedals? Preferably at a similar price point. Cheers!
I dont know of anything like that. Let me know if you find something!
Great review man!
Totally get your points in the downsides to this multi FX unit, the amp taking 2 slots is valid and is a drawback and scrolling screens to get from drives to delay section also can be annoying.
Luckily I don’t use any of the built in amps or cabs so I don’t really face this problem fortunately.
Not having an effects loop is a downside especially as you said wanting to put other pedals thru it in your chain and then using the headphone output, only way I could see doing that is taking your last output in the chain into a sub mixer with a headphone out built-in but obviously it means having to possibly buy a mixer if you do t already have one. I know it’s five yrs later so you can pick up a small 4 channel mixer nowadays suitable as a sub mixer New for about £25.
I still use my G5N live with my band and manage to utilise it for my requirements with to much hassle.
I got a used one in the UK for £80 in great condition, so for the variety of FX and other features it has for myself was a good deal compared with my past route of buying individual pedals which soon adds up and then having the issues of pedal noise and interference from leads and psu’s ended doing my head in and constantly wanting to always buy a new pedal was a costly option for me, so getting a half decent cheap multi fx unit has worked better for my set up. Obviously there’s much better superior gear available so it’s all down to each players setup, way of working and what they can afford or main factors to consider before buying a multi fx unit.
Cheers and nice one for your video and explaining the cons for yourself for the way you utilise it. Just nice to see how other people use their gear when it’s different to how I use in my rig. Thanks Steve.
Nice find! I'd definitely buy one for that price.
That bass sounds soooo good!
😎😎😎
I think u can just copy your " solo tone to an empty patch after your rythm patch.solved
They should add a quick scroll option, i get why you would want to scroll pass every pedal but as you mentioned in the video, for live gigs i'd want the scroll to be atleast fast af
Thanks for this very informative review. I was interested in this effects pedal, but I decided to go with the Zoom B1 four for my electric and upright bass rig!
Glad I could help. New video on g1four and b1four next week
Cool setup, dude!
I subscribed to your channel, man! Come on! Don't stop doing guitar related gear review.
Haha, thank you. The problem is that I don't have any gear to review. At least, not usually. I just bought a headrush mx5 and I have a bunch of complaints already. I'll probably do a video on it and then return it, lol.
@@GRANTwow hahaha..it's ok..make sure you do the video first before return it 😅😅
Great review! Thanks!...overall nice pedal - maybe running a G3 in the front of it would solve the issues
I didn't expect at all to find Kurt Cobain (?) reviewing and complaining about features in effects processors that inexplicably complicate the live-playing experience... anyway, thanks for taking the time to do this.
Yes, hello, it's me, Kurt Cobain
Nice vidoe. I use this for my guitar. I used to use another zoom (cheap multi effect) that you could litterarely press a "program" button and litterarely key in the number of the patch that you want. I did prefer that, as i would need to use more than 4 sounds during a gig..i would love if there was an external pedal board/switch so you could control more patches...if it had 8 or 10 then it would be an absolutely perfect pedal, as it would have all the sounds you d need for the entire gig without scrolling through the "banks"
Overall is this multieffect is ok and value for money. The only problem to me is the original factory set patches will be gone once you do the twicking and to restore it you have to do factory reset which caused all your personal setup will be gone.
Don't worry. You can backup and restore from your pc using the guitar lab software. You can also restore or save a patch here or a patch there... It doesn't have to be all at once.
Glad I stumbled on this video coz I was considering buying this pedal but the issue of not being able to assign effects to any order on the screens without affecting the signal chain is a big NO for live playing.
Thanks for making this video man
fwiw I own 2 of these and run Drive/comp>Amp/cab>Delay/reverb and all of the drives, comp, rev and delays act as stomp boxes. yes i need to own 2 units to accomplish this but combined they cost less than an hx stomp.
Ha! Whatever works... I'd be interested in seeing how you have them set up physically
@@GRANTwow it's pretty simple. G3n for drive/comp/amp (mono) into G5n which handles cab delay reverb (all in stereo)
Hi Grant. Thanks for the video. I have been looking at this or G3xn..and now the Line 6 Pod Go. Just learning this stuff...which do you think is better? Thanks !!!
I would recommend the g3xn over the g5n, and I would recommend the g1xfour over the g3xn. I'm sorry but I dont know anything about the line6 pod series
@@GRANTwow Thanks so much!
amazing talk show! I wonder why you keep showing some equipment!?
Hey ! Thanks for the video i hope i see more. Why you have 2 left legs?
Would it be easier to USB to a computer and use the editing software to edit patches?
It is somewhat easier on the pc, yes
Great video, thanks. What's the 'pause' like when you switch between patches? Is there a quarter second of silence while the new patch loads? Or is it pretty seamless?
Honestly, I don't recall. I don't have this thing anymore. Hopefully someone else will be able to answer this question.
The fact that a looper and a drum machine are taking two pedal slots is a big disappointment. The G5 had a dedicated switching for the looper and the rhythm-which I prefer…
hey man, great video. i wanna buy a pedal and im considering zoom g5n, zoom g5 and boss me 70. Which one would you recommend me?
The g5n only if you understood all my criticisms in my video and you're ok with them. I haven't used the other two you mentioned
@@GRANTwow well the boss me70 is actually quiete simpler and easier to use cause it has four "pedals" or efects each one with its own EQ but im kind of worried about the sound and versatility compared to zoom G5 or G5n
Maybe You told us in the video and I couldn't catch, but I am puzzled about one thing: is there a general option to switch On/Off amp and cab for ALL the patches in one move, without doing it for every single patch (that would turn me crazy!)? I know switching has to be done if You use the board in an ampli or into a P.A. or pc soundcard.
Thanks for answering.
Unfortunately each patch has to be switched individually. It doesn't take very long but it is annoying.
@@GRANTwow
Thanks for answering! I just wrote to Zoom UK suggesting to make a firmware enhancing for this problem. Hope they will fix it.....
@@littlebritain64 it's the same for cabs and mics
@@davidbarlow431
Thanks for answering, this means even more trouble. Oh, well...
@@littlebritain64 it depends how you use it. I tend to leave them all on but then turn off the handful of patches I use live. If you like a dedicated patch or two for each song then yes it would be more inconvenient. The may be other units out there with global control but I don't know if any.
fantastic,great video.The guitar lab is fantastic.I've used it live,i only play Rhythm guitar so im only using the patches and it works great for my needs. I dont think theres a multi fx unit that could serve your needs 100% Even the most expensive units will have drawbacks.Good luck in finding your setup that suits guitar and bass.
Have you used the looper function? It would be great to have a basic tutorial on youtube. I think the way you explain and know your way around this unit youd be great at it.
would it be possible to have the dimentions of youe DIY storage box.Thank you
I'm going buy this one soon. But for me it still in the hand of guitar player. Hehe and yeah! Analog pedal is great. But super expensive. Even cheap analog can't get enough tones that's why you ended up yourself buying expensive pedals. For me zoom g5n gonna gives you the amount of satisfaction not necessarily that great. But it's mid-range digital effects. And for me i highly recommend this one! 😊
When it comes to distortion I heard this multi-fx was severely lacking. Is there a better option around this price range? Are there options to connect an analog fuzz pedal through it?
I think there's plenty of good distortion sounds on it. Theres no fx loop, so the only way to hook up another pedal would be before input or after output
Thanks for the practical review/overview.
I've been looking at these end the g3n. So am I understanding correctly they you can't re-assign those lower foot switches? I had hoped I would be able to used this in pstch mode and then use the 4 lower switches to turn on/off other effects within the patch. If not it Seems like an odd flexibility oversight to not allow that after putting in the cost for those lower switches..
The little flappy ones? They cannot be assigned
Thanks for teaching me some things about my ZOOM I didn't know, like being able to scroll through all the effects by category. That's nice, because I've often been caught having to cycle through the entire library of effects to find what I was searching for, and it's a wee bit frustrating. I had also wondered about using it on a vocal track, I appreciate the heads-up. FYI I use the ZOOM Gn5 for home recording, and then posting my tunes on YT. I just developed a problem with my stomp switch popping up higher than it should, and what it will take to fix that. That's how I bumped into your channel while searching for a repair video.
hey, How good is this with a bass? Like I'm confused whether I should go for the b3n or g5n.. Does it cut off the bass registers?
It doesn't cut out the bass frequencies. However, using guitar amp and cab sims can sometimes cut or boost the lows in a undesirable way for bass. I like to avoid using the amps and cabs when playing bass.
Zoom makes a bass version of this.
Hi. Lets say we have an fx chain like tube scr Amp cab chorus delay reverb. Can i assign effects to switches like drive, chorus, delay, reverb?
Each effect acts like a stompbox, but they are stuck in the order of your signal flow, so, no, you cannot have all those available at once if you have the anp and cab in the chain. You'll have to scroll past the amp and cab to access everything
They are too damn hard to program, after reading the manual and watching videos I am still bewildered by how to use this thing
Ha. Yeah. I'd never go back to this kind of unit now. I recently got a mooer prime and it is such a pleasure to just program presets on my phone!
the stage box is neat.
Dude can you show me a photo of what you did to the expression pedal to make it trigger the little button
I don't have it anymore, but all I did was put some masking tape on the button
@@GRANTwow did you peel off the extra foam under the expression pedal?
@@deantonos I don't think so. Just keep adding layers of tape until it works 😁
Is your inbuilt expression pedal broken .because my inbuilt expression pedal on the g3xn has started giving problems.
Hey man I think there’s a bass version of this pedal that might sound better with the instrument, this ones made for guitar
Ok
volume should be set to 11 o'clock ..boost to 9 and treble to 3. this is the Unity setting :)
Hello Grant, I am in a pickle with my Zoom G3Xn and I was curious how you wire your Zoom up if you're fronting your effects or are you using the effects loop with this? Thx!
I always run straight into front of amp or PA
Its a pity that they didnt make it so that you would have the stomps of your choice come up when you switch to stomp mode and you instead have to scroll through all effects and amps, it really defeats the purpose. Thanks for the heads up on that, Zoom really should change it in an update so that you can chose, i actually thought that was they way it worked. I was slightly interested in this pedal, but i will probably end up with a unit 3 to 4 times the price to have more options and better IO.
I agree, it seems like it would be trivial to add that function in a software update... Maybe if a bunch of us write them emails they'll do it. I'll send one in 🤠
@@GRANTwow I really think you should do that, i always try to voice my opinion, if you never try you can never "win your fights", if the manufacturer doesnt know what you think how will they know if you dont tell them. It should be possible and relatively easy to change it in the firmware if they want to. Maybe there is a forum where you can team up on the request.
Yes I have already sent one mail ... At least page system as they already have .... Need not to a lot research work as DnD is already done.
I found one issue--- if padel is not assign to one patch and then if I switch to another patch which has paddle assign to volume. It works only you tilt padle a bit.
One more thing padle should have boosting option too.
This or nux mg-30?
Mg30
@@A9_Chord why?
you should have got the one that goes to 11. everyone knows 11 is superior to 10
Zoom g5n or g3xn? Which one should I buy
All depends on you. For what it's worth, if I could do it all over again I'd get the g3n without the expression pedal, plus volume and wah pedals. But it really depends on your needs.
10:42 If I understand you correctly
you're saying that a Global EQ
would be great, but this mid boost
thing is a waste of time, I would
agree with that. I don't go direct to
pa, I use an amp, so I believe that I
should be fine just using the
bass, mid, treble knobs on the amp
to adjust my global eq.
Hello, thanks for sharing Your experiences. I am wondering if these are common troubles with lots of pedalboards on this range of price, or only for this brand and model only.
They all have limitations so it just depends on what you want to do. For the price, the G5n is pretty hard to beat, especially at roughly $150 used (how much I bought mine for). $329 new is still an amazing deal. Far exceeded my expectations once I started tweaking because most of the presets suck per the usual.
@@cls6200
I managed to purchase a second hand one a few days ago,€ 180 coming also with a lightweight flightcase, still to test the sound, but it looks brand new with the "V. 2" sticker on the box, that means 30% more computational power and more amps and effects.They say the editing software has been enhanced as well. I really have to rescue my Fender Frontman 65R. I saw a video here, a Boss Metal Zone before the pedalboard ( with a clean preset ): instant Steve Vai!!
Try to set up effects in different order, you do that on the top LCD.
Can the pedal chain in this processor be split before passing in the amp? Like if I have to make wider tones like using two amps one delayed after the other to create a wider tones... To create like a hard panned guitar / dual tracked guitars..... Can I do that in this processor?
No, I don't think so.
@@GRANTwow we then my friend's fucked 🤣🤣🤣.... He gotta somehow copy his output and use some form of delay to create the width.... Maybe from the stereo out of the zoom g5n and using a delay with one stereo out to the FOH mixer... Anyway thanks for the reply bud! 🤘🏻
That'd work. You can use a stereo delay in the zoom, too. I misunderstood your original question.
@@GRANTwow I knew you can use a stereo delay and create wider tones for leads on zoom... But the thing is, that'd work for solo tones well however it's riffs that my friend was looking for and any quater note, stereo, ping pong delays would create overtones on the riff and basically ruin the tightness of it... I was wondering if you Can split the pedal chain then you can have two different amps with a slight delay in between and make the riff sound wider and fuller like double tracked guitars. That's why I was asking if you can split the pedal chain
Have you ever considered using a midi controller to navigate your patches?
Can I get your opinion in terms of sounds if you would know compared to Headrush pedalboard
I play mostly at home.. I have a boss me-80 I love the simplicity of it but I am wondering if the effects are better in the zoom.
I would assume the zoom's effects are better, since it's newer. The only effects I don't like on the zoom are the compressors. I talk about that in my G1 Four video
Zooms patches are way better than Boss multifx
you can interchange effects
time to switch gear...zoom G11 i think is the solution =)
How does it react to a pedal in front of it? I like to use a clean boost and am curious if the amp sim reacts like a real amp.
It should work like an amp. I'm not sure if it will clip the input if you boost too much. I haven't tried a super loud boost, but I would think that zoom would have designed it to handle that.
can we play and stop loop and drum sound simultaneously
I get wanting to use each screen as one pedal but can't u have like 4 or more effects at once on one screen if you want?
I don't fully understand the question, but I think the answer is no.
Could you not just create multiple patches with the signal chain you want things on for say rythm lead and whatever during a song and just switch patches instead of running stomp box mode?
thats what i do with my g5n. it works, though while switching the patches you have a short moment of silence when using something like a delay or reverb on the previous patch. the effects stop immediately, instead of ringing out. if you consider this downside, you can just switch patches instead of using the stompbox mode imo.
Yep, you can, it just requires a lot of editing time when something in a patch needs tweaking
and here i thought , u can save patch per button. but it also like g3 you scroll up and down to go to your saved patch 🤧🤧
Not interested in the box you built
Just want to hear some patches
Thanks
I guess we can't be friends 😢
I am just trying to find out some information on the pedal and all the demos are either heavy metal or ramble on about irrelevancies
There is a great opening for demos without talking and playing one or two notes per patch
But instead I have to sit through ten minutes of shredding in one patch and I am so over shredding
@@anthonykenny1320 sorry
No worries
I subbed. If you'd really want to know about the internal workings of the processor and specs of the zoom G5n ( & other current Zoom Multi-fx- go to Instagram and use this: #zoomspecs - I posted there.
Hi, i have a technical question. Is it the Zoom G5n True Bypass? I mean, when i'm playing can i turn it off and play only with the Amp?
I believe you can bypass it by enabling the tuner in bypass mode.
@@GRANTwow sorry but how to do it? :)
@@francescodifilippo613 activate the tuner function and use the small knob to enable the bypass mode
@@francescodifilippo613 or maybe it's a foot switch. Sorry it's been a while. I don't remember

Hi can i ask?? How many overall effects on this Zoom G5n pleasee reply so that i can decide what to buy thank you!
If you Google search "g5n effects list" you'll find a full list 😊
They only say 68 effects is that true?
Mine making noise when i max my master volume
Simple adding external pedals, rally. The first ones in the chain go between the guitar and FX board while the ones after go between the board output, not the bloody headphone output (it is NOT a jack) and the amp. The only issue would be if Zoom tends to not allow the pre-pedal EFX through its chain.
Hola buen videos .. la calidad de sonido es igual que la del zoom g1 four??
Si
cool case
Thanks, I had fun making it
it's literally doing what it's made to do.
This or pod go?
Curious... is working from right to left and merging multiple patches per peddle a solution like this guy did? :
ruclips.net/video/5knilwEGaCg/видео.html
it's a good unit for home use...studio. this would not be a gig unit for me
"Re-Zoom" your pedal workflow... ;D
Just curious what your alternate go to multi effects pedal is. If there is one that is.
Still searching 😎
@@GRANTwow Ah 🙂
I am considering the Boss M80. What do you think.
The ME-80? I had the bass version a long time ago when I was a beginner. I think I liked it, but one day it just stopped working and I got rid of it. I guess the point is: I suspect it's good. Sorry I can't be of more help.
@@GRANTwow Oh ok, thanks for replying, no worries. One of the reasons I mentioned it is that I think it is the only multi effects pedal in the known universe that actually comes close to working in stomp box mode. Not sure if it sounds great esp since it’s old now, but it’s quite not menu driven. Thought it might interest you.
Lol well for the “amp” issues, move it all the way to the right as you will never be touching them and your core 4 on the main switches..... never ran into any of these issues as I wasn’t playing for dream theatre and also needing all this for a bass seems excessive. Putting a huge strain on this minor issue for this board is kinda overkill.
Sweet, glad you had a better experience! Rock on!!!
Hi i'm considering the G5n because of the stomp mode, but I'm concerned about its live usability. If you put the amp all the way to the right would it change the sound to much, it's really that noticiable? (considering it's moving the effects chain a bit). Also thinking about buying the Mooer Ge 250 but it only works in patch mode and it's 120 bucks pricier but it has the IR...
Yes, putting the amp all the way to the right is not a viable solution
plan to change my g5 to g5n , is have significant different?
From what I've seen, it seems like the g5 is better, but I've never used one. Maybe the sound is worse?
actually not worse but im not satisfied with that sound, many ppl say g5n more organic than g5 so i find it to know 🙏
ppl say better because g5 has tube amp and lr out
hello im finally bought g5n and selling my g5. Sound more natural and less noise, just tweak in hours and get my sound. modulation is great to me but wah pedal i prefer the still analog wah 👍
you can change the order and layout of the effects on this so the information at 7:30 is incorrect, which is funny because that appeared to be your main issue with the unit
I think you misunderstood
@@GRANTwow grant...i left this in another comment. Is it helpful to solve your issue?

This or boss gt10?
Zoom g5n is only design for electric guitar multi effects prosesors not for a bass guitar sir..
fake news.
The problems described in this video can be solved in about 15 minutes while enjoying a cup of coffee. Read the manual. Learn your tools.
For example...?
@@GRANTwow He probably thinks that you can change order of effects without changing the signal path ;)
@@johanndaart7326 Yep. I can't believe how many people in this comments section just plain don't get it.
zoom sucks.
