Well, if you’ve never had a built-in drum machine on a pedal before, for this price you can’t go terribly wrong. If you wait and save your pennies, you’ll fare far better and most likely keep from tearing your hair out fine-tuning this one.
It’s not bad when you’re poking around seeing what F/X you can get out of it, and, for the trained ear, some of the nuances can be delightful. The drum patterns are also top notch and, on a good day, it will help you rock the house down.
Putting it all together is the trick. Supposedly the pedal can lock in the guitar sound, amp sound and drum pattern on one module and save it for your next gig. Buddy, if you can figure out how to make this SOB do that, drop me a line. I had a big gig lined up and couldn’t waste that kind of time. I went for a DigiTech at $90 that did exactly what I wanted when I wanted in half the screw-around time.
If you’re an F/X whiz or a geek with all the time in the world, this is definitely your next tinker toy. If you’re running and gunning to stay with (or ahead of) the pack, however…save your dough and get the tool to handle the big job. This may not be it.

I have had the best time using this pedal. There are so many sounds that I can reproduce from many different bands, that I would say “Dollar for Dollar, this is one of the best pedals I have ever used!!!” “Quality Effects Good price”

Good little box. Sounds good. Tuner is very good and easy to use. Pretty simple to understand. I have a Vamp2 and a Korg AX5 and I like this best so far. It’s smaller than the Vamp2 and seems easier to use. I like that the delay is both a tap function and can be set to an exact time. Over the Korg I like the long battery life–12 hours vs 4 hrs, that it came with a plug in DC power, and the tuner. Over both I like that it has a little drum machine. For $50 a great toy for my situation where I’ve played acoustic guitar for a while but learning electric and I don’t want tons of amps and stomp boxes to experiment with sounds.

The Zoom G1 is a highly effective piece of equipment, period. The numerous presets are valuable in and of themselves, with emulations of famous tube amplifiers, and unique blends of sounds (sustain, amplifier emulation, sustain, distortion, tremelo, etc.) associated with famous guitarists. The Zoom is fully programmable, too–and that’s perhaps where the real value is. A few quibbles: (1) a little sturdier construction (ok, metal is heavier to carry in your gig bag, but it is sturdier) would be nice; (2) the digital sustain, reverb, and especially the fade out can sound a little fake, compared to their non-digital cousins. Point #2 can be controlled through the programming mode, but if you use only the pre-sets, be prepared for some interesting non-linear cutouts and a few other peculiarities.
I have found the unit particularly effective as an interface between my guitar and a direct box into a sound system. I purchased the Zoom from my local music retailer for some $ over what you’ll typically find from Amazon.com vendors, and I consider it well worth the money. At the prices I see on Amazon, though, it’s a steal. Buy it!
