  • I finally got around to making a G1xon tutorial! What a fascinating machine this one is. For more info I've made a similar video about the G1on which operates along very similar patterns.

    Great tutorial on setting up effects in the Zoom G1Xon. I’ve had the G1on for half a year and didn’t know how to do this. (Okay, I’m a beginner. Now I need to learn what the effects actually do and how they sound.)
    After several sets of batteries I finally ordered the Zoom power adapter.

    From any position if you press the home button you come to the home screen showing your current effect. In that window press both pedals simultaneously and you will start the integrated tuner.
    You can also deactivate and reactivate effects in the effect chain (in a patch) - stepping on the up and down switches the chosen effect on and off.
    I recommend using recheargeable batteries - this keeps the cost low while eliminating the power cable.

    Great tutorial, m8! The one reason I got this device was because I hoped I could assign the expression pedal to something other than volume, wah, and whammy. You showed exactly how to do just that. As well as showing everything else I needed to know. Good on ya!

      Me too. Don't know if it sounds good loud but it sure is great on my practice amp. Great interface for setting the parameters, choosing and arranging the effects you want to use. Love all the choices it has for effects. If I ever start jamming with a band again, I hope this thing sounds good loud. It is so easy to set up specific effects chains on each bank. I set one up for rythm, one for lead, one for harmony lead and one for wah lead.

    Great tutorial, clear and well explained.
    The Zoom G1on and G1Xon are great inexpensive effects pedal. Probably the best on the market considering the money you save. I buyed a Zoom G1on on Amazon as a birthday gift for a friend of mine for less than 50 €. Low cost, but incredible quality. And the built-in Rhythm section, even has only a few rhythm patterns, is a great help for training. Really worths each penny you spend on it.

    What makes these units so popular is: 1) Ease of use ! Simple up/down footswitch to scroll through your patches 2) The effects are very good for the price range 3) lightweight and runs on batteries Did an open mic set with a mini Dist./OD pedal and the Zoom G1on. It performed very well.

    • @gearfacts

    Hello! I have a question: if you are playing for example Dani California from the RHCP how can you pass from the clean main part to the distorsion on the chorus? You should duplicate the clean main part to a new patch with the distorsion added? Is there any kind of miliseconds between the patch changing?

    • @gearfacts
      @gearfacts  3 роки тому +1

      You can put two patches side by side for a quick change (copy the first patch and just add that distortion to the second one, as you describe) but a cleaner way might be to leave it in edit mode with the distortion effect selected in the chain, and use the right pedal to activate and de-activate the distortion as you play. That way, your delay and any other dynamic effects will continue uninterrupted.

    I have this multi-effects pedalboard that is connected via a 9 volt supply. Absolutely all the presets, even the ones I have left without any effect, have noise. I have a squire with single coils but in all positions of the pickups it makes the same noise. I already verified that it is not the amp or the cables, because they are good and new.
    Do you think it's the power supply? It's an old pedalboard that was stored at a friend's house years ago.

  • @dom252
    @dom252 5 років тому +1

    Thanks for the run-through! I'm thinking about experimenting with ambient guitar, which often uses a lot of delay pedals layered on top of each other. I assume a given effect (like carbon delay) could be used more than once in the G1Xon's effects chain? Also, I assume the pedal can be used to control the overall volume of the post-effect-chain sound, to do a volume swell / fade-in? I'm thinking this might be a cheap and easy way to experiment, if so!

    • @gearfacts
      @gearfacts  5 років тому +2

      Hi Dym, yes there is a volume swell effect and yes you can layer different delay effects, or multiples of the same delay if you like. i think this is demonstrated in my video 'using the G1on as a synth' ...I think that was the title of it anyway :) Gearfacts

    • @gearfacts
      @gearfacts  3 роки тому +1

      Not officially, but there is a trick you can do - two tricks, actually. The first way is to leave it in edit mode. Put just one effect in your chain (the effect being the distortion you want) and simply activate/de-activate that effect by pressing the right pedal. The second way is so create a series of patches, say 1 to 10, with each consecutive patch having distortion/no distortion. This way, no matter which pedal you press you'll go to a patch that switches the distortion on/off. Hope that helps :) Gearfacts

      @cubis 5 років тому +4

      @@ctc514 Threshold in the context of a compressor sets the point where compression should start. A lower threshold means more of the signal will get compressed, a higher threshold means only the louder parts of the signal get compressed.
      Gain just means volume - what it means for the effect is a bit different in context with each effect: with compressors, gain could be added before the compressor to force the compressor to work on more of the signal (based on the threshold), or after compression to "make up" lost gain, since compressors actually lower the volume if you don't add additional gain. If you add too much gain you can get Overdrive/Distortion type sounds, which is probably where you got that impression.

    I plug it into a fender super champ x2 or headphones and most of the patches are unusable as they don't sound or make un intermittent sound in the superchamp or are muffled in the headphone. Do you know why ?

    • @gearfacts
      @gearfacts  4 роки тому +2

      Hi Julien. With the muffled sound, all I can suggest is editing the patches (mainly with EQ) to lift up the sound. Multi effects units always have to be 'tuned in' to the gear they're being used with, and the preset patches are never optimal. And yes, patches can only be modified or overwritten :) #gearfacts

    I've just bought one of these for my son, and now it's wrapped for Three-Kings on the 6th Jan, so I can't test this problem for myself. Reading the manual, it appears that the 100 presets are kept in A0 - J9, and there aren't anymore 'slots' than that. So if you want to save your own custom patches, you have to overwrite the presets and lose them. Can anyone clarify this? Thanks.
    If that's correct, I don't understand the reasoning for it. For instance, the Digitech pedal I looked at starts off with presets in 1-50, and then duplicates them in 51 - 100. When you save your own patches, they go into the latter bank, leaving the presets in the first bank untouched. That seems a much better system to me.

    • @gearfacts
      @gearfacts  6 років тому

      Yep that's correct - there is no separation between user and preset patches. All patches can be edited and over-written. I suggest going through all of them, find the ones you like, and save them to a favourite 'zone' of patches. e.g. save all ten favourites under "F" patches 0-9. Then you can save them to other areas and go ahead and experiment with them in that new location. This keeps everything organised and keeps the factory preset sounds that you like intact. I hope that helps, thanks for watching Gearfacts :)

    • @NebulousWeb

      Thanks for confirming. Since that seemed like a lot of clunky work to do in the LED screen, this morning I looked for a better solution and found 'ZoomLib' on zoompatches.com. This seems to solve the problem of both overwriting the presets (by being able to backup your patches to a library on your laptop) and not being able to move patches around easily (by providing a drag/drop GUI).

    Can you delete the drive and cab simulations so you are only using the modulation effects? Also, can you bypass the unit on the fly to return to the amps base tone?

    • @gearfacts
      @gearfacts  6 років тому

      First question is yes, definitely. Second question, you can but what you'd have to do is set up a patch that actually has no effects active, so the signal goes straight through. Note that it's not true-bypass though, so there may be a slight change in tone purely because the signal is taking a longer and more complex journey to get to your amp. Hope that helps :) Gearfacts

      I like starting with a tube screamer, then I set up the amp mod that looks like a mesa boogie dual rectifier. I like to put a flanger after that with very subtle settings to give me a nice 90's death metal rhythm sound. You could also use the extreme metal distortion instead of the tube screamer and dual rectifier amp mod. I like the amp mode more though because it gives you more control of the tone. You could also take the eq, then set the extreme metal. If it feeds back a lot, use the zoom noise reduction at the end.
      If you want more of a rock distortion sound, you could use the tube screamer first, then use one of the amp mods that look like a marshall. There is one that looks like the old Marshall head that people like Angus young and slash like to use.

    If I'm running a patch with an amp sim in it, what changes between setting it to line, or combo front. For instance if I'm running it into an amp already, would I want it set to line? Which would mean if I was using a DAW then I would select any one of the actual amp cabs (combo front, combo power front, stack)?

    • @gearfacts
      @gearfacts  6 років тому +1

      Keith Walker Yeah this is a tricky one. It’s intended that you use the combo setting when you’re wearing headphones or using studio monitors, so you get the ‘complete’ sound. This is so NOT an exact science though. My creedo with things like this is to try the different settings and simply go where your ears take you. It’s very easy to over-think when it comes to simulations. That’s my opinion anyway, hope it helps in some way :) Gearfacts

    • @keithw096
      @keithw096 6 років тому

      Yeah there doesn't seem to be any information on it anywhere XD some people that have made patches specifically say to use one or the other with THIER current configuration, which lead me to believe that there is some merit to how you have it connected.

      @gearfacts  6 років тому

      Keith Walker The merit is all theoretical. These chains often won’t behave like the real thing so trust your ears and treat the ‘rules’ of ‘better tone’ merely as a guideline. My opinion, always open to discussion :)

    I have the bass and guitar ones without the expression pedal and the guitar one with expression pedal. They are cheap and a lot of bang for the buck. They are a bit noisy, and they seem fairly susceptible to electronic interference like WIFI and such. I tend to use them for Korg Volcas with modulation/reverb/delay with any modeling/speaker sims turned off. Now if you are playing through with a guitar orf bass for the modeling, they are OK. Are they the best? No. But can you get a good sound? Yes.

If you have a 44.1khz sampling rate modeler into the HX Stomp it will work and produces superior tone, but if you're trying to send a 48khz signal from a 48khz sampling rate modeler into a 48khz modeler doesn't work, it then produces shitty tone. You have to remember the signals are getting A/D-D/A converted. They slam into the converters this is what causes aliasing and artifact especially with high gain. This is something I learned from studying audio engineer data. I tested different modelers and its true. The HX Stomp accepts the Zoom G1on and the signals are perfect A/D-D/A conversions to 48khz sampling rate. Example I tried a Nux MG400 into the HX Stomp the tone is shitty! So if you got a 44.1kzh sampling rate guitar modeler it will go into the HX Stomp and the conversions are solid.
