Zoom G5n Multi-Effects Processor - How to drop tune your guitar real quick!!

Sorry for the uhms and ahhs. This was my first time to do this kind of thing and I know I kinda fucked up on some parts and editing 4k videos was too stressful for my computer lol. anyway..
So here's a video about drop tuning using your Zoom G5n Multi-effects processor. Specifically using the Pitch Shift pedal. There might be instances while playing live that you need to shift to a drop tune and you don't have another guitar with you, this will be useful.
Stuff that I used:
- Squier Stratocaster (Custom Built)
- Zoom G5n Multi-Effects Processor
- Focusrite Scarlet Solo
- Presonus Eris 4.5
- Cockos Reaper

I use my G5n to detune when I play live with my band. As long as you don't go too far it sounds good.

[@titomic]

yup! helpful for scenarios where you play different tunings live instead of bringing a bunch of guitars but up to u really.

[@SolitarySCREAMO]

Thanks Bro! I realised this feature existed after 5 years of purchase 😖

[@whirlwings]

I have a g1x four and it took me years to discover how easy it is to drop or raise tune in pitch shifter. Back the i have to tune the strings up or down which takes time, now it as simple as flipping a knob, well my bad 😁😁😁

[@toddlampron5799]

Just picked up a G3xn! THANKS for this tutorial!

[@titomic]

awesome :)

[@colindias4820]

Wow.. not bad . I was thinking if zoom would introduce the drop down feature in the next model .. ure a genius ..🙂

[@guitartito7035]

Thanks, Colin! Props to a friend back in Cebu. Saw him doing it with an old Korg AX3000g so I thought Zoom g5n could probably handle it. Turned out well.

[@issacdarnal]

Thanks man for the tutorial!!

[@titomic]

sorry i messed up with the semitones lol. :)

[@user-tx3qb1qc4x]

Testing mo po sa clean tone para makita kung maganda talaga. Kasi pansin ko nag kakaroon ng vibrato

[@colindias4820]

Also Mick .. I think they should try to have a global drop down tuning in the next model ... But thanks for sharing this again. .. simply love the G5n which I recently got a month back .. u can get some good times with it ..cheers mate..

[@guitartito7035]

It's a great unit. Sad that they're no longer releasing new updates but I had a lot of fun with it touring locally. Hopefully I can come up with a handful more videos from it.

[@colindias4820]

@@guitartito7035 that's true of the updates .. but I think they would be thinking people are now used to the unit and the excitement went down and maybe they are or hope they are working on a better model with a better looper like the g5 where u can switch patches in the loop and ryhtm modes or atleast increase the blocks space for the rhythm and looper a bit..other than that this thing sounds really good … I see myself using this for the next two years before going for a line 6 helix sort of unit if zoom comes out with something … cheers , keep posting vids and ill be watching ..

[@guitartito7035]

cheers, mate!! 😊

ibalik mo tong channel na toh lods ❤🙏

I saw a guitar cover of Vanguard by 12FootNinja using pitch shifter while on 6 string, standard E tuning and it sounds almost the same with the original. I wonder what tweaks did he do with his set up on the efx.

[@GuitarDoco]

Thanks

[@guitartito7035]

You're welcome, Sanjeev!

[@akashchakrabarty5708]

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?

[@pjguitar15]

why didn't you plug the pedal straight to pc? with usb

[@titomic]

the fx was pretty far from the laptop and my usb cable's a bit short haha. sorry

[@accomplishedtheory9502]

can you go up a half and full step?

[@seba8194]

yes

[@tamasc8703]

hey thanks, one question you can drop just 1 string? like drop d tuning D-A-D-G-B-E, thanks for video really usefull

[@guitartito7035]

TaMa SC thru the pitch shifter, you cant.

[@boyt.5542]

shift fine tone bal
so okay let me please clarify
the "fine" knob what does it do or how it works?

[@heinabbott5172]

The fine knobs fine tunes cents between whole steps.

[@jrdeasis2156]

tito, advisable ba tong method to quickly drop to half step down tuning from standard?

[@titomic]

mas maganda pa rin tunog ng naka half step down na strings tapos sakto yung gauge tito. pero pag mabilisang switch to drop tunings oks na to

[@eduardonelali]

Fine = 25? Doesn't that mean you detuned 25 cents?

[@guitartito7035]

Oh shoot. Thanks for informing me. This was my mistake

[@qezeq]

how low can u go?

[@titomic]

i guess 2 full steps down is reasonable. anything more than that becomes a garbled mess.

[@heyimjoshnicetomeetya]

I wouldn’t go past B Standard/Drop A with this (2 1/2 steps down)
