- This is the Zoom G6
Your sounds may be complex but building them shouldn’t be. With easy-to-use application driven technology, the G6’s 4.3-inch color touchscreen lets you drag, drop and swipe your way to new sounds.
All the best amps in amp history are in here (and a few new ones, too), along with 70 pre-loaded, precisely recorded impulse responses (IR) and room to add more than 100 of your own.

Zoom is surpassing itself with each launch! Lots of quality and technology! Congratulations on the video, the explanations and demonstrations! You play very well and still know how to explore every instrument and equipment! A hug, here from Brazil!
Thank you✌️❤️
Enjoying the longer more comprehensive reviews!
Thank you ✌️❤️
Excellent in-depth review Sir! Good explanations and musical examples, good sound quality. Fine playing too!
Much appreciated!
Most welcome✌️❤️
Jonathan you're one helluva player. Always enjoy your reviews. I love my Pod Go, but I have a processor addiction.
Lol… Thank up✌️❤️
Have one being delivered today. I have been wanting this model since it was even pre order status, but found a great deal on the G11 so I got that instead...but i wanted to still own this G6 anyways just to have it in my collection. I am certain I will love it just as much as my G11....great demo and review as always !!!!
Thank you✌️❤️
Jon , That intro SOLO WAS / IS Fantastic Love It !!!!!
Thank you Ron ✌️❤️

Great through review . Thanks so much. Very tempted to purchase one.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent and tight playing. I really enjoyed this.
I’m glad you did ✌️❤️
great palying as always!! greetings from mexico
Thank you brother ✌️❤️
I do like Zoom and as always your demo is great.If people find themselves having acquired multiple purchases of mid-price effects units, yet always are left wanting....then I recommend saving the money and getting a Helix Floor.I can happily sell my earlier purchases , they served their purpose.With the Helix I have no itch to look around anymore.Thanks.
Very true! Same goes for me✌🤓
Nice review!
Glad you enjoyed it✌💜
Great job. I use loopers a lot and love the 2 hour looping capability with this unit....it is a deal maker for me. Thanks so much. :) This is the detailed "How to use the G6" that all new users need. It's something Zoom should have done but Jonathan has done it superbly....his experience and attention to detail will help you. IF YOU OWN A ZOOM G6 THEN YOU SHOULD WATCH THIS VIDEO FOR SURE. I watched it several times...extremely helpful.......cool.
Glad you enjoyed the video ✌️❤️

Jon--Wow!!! You are a great player!!! Thank you for this tutorial!!! I just got my G6 and I am really having fun playing with it... Would love to get a copy of your stuff. Thank you again for this video explanation. Frederic Grant
Glad to help!✌💙
Hey! I wish your video was longer even! I've been agonizing over this unit since my G92tt is still such a great piece of technical art, and is even to this day amazingly. But seriously, it is a wonderful Luxury and such a lovely pleasure to enjoy this processor with you too and not just the tedious paper manual, which may not have been written in the clearest way either, right? Thanks for the really, really great review.
My pleasure
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I just purchased this G6 and was delivered this past weekend. Your video seems to be the one of the most informative but I must ask.. I am a novice to intermediate guitar player and this is my first effects processor board.. The back panel section of your video you have the send and return external loop, Output right and left/mono.. as of right now I have a cable coming out of the left/mono and directly into the input of my Boss Katana MKII 2x12 amp.. The input of the amp is usually where I would plug a guitar straight into but as mentioned I have this processor plugged in instead... is this the best way? or is there a better way to plug this into an amp? I see in your video you have a black tip cable coming out of the left/mono and a blue tipped cable coming out of the right.. if you don't mind sharing where and how you are plugging this board into your setup? as mentioned I going from left/mono right into the amp input and some of the videos including yours ive seen have multiple cables coming out of the back and they are not setup like mine... just a little confused. Please advise. Ty in advance. Cj
Is fantástic
✌️❤️
Thank you for actually demonstrating the looper function. Most guitar centric reviews skip right over the looper functions/operation. I have been considering the Boss RC-10r as a rhythm looper...but for $100 more this comes with the full guitar processor integrated, and I like zoom products. It looks like the only thing that the RC10 offers is the ability to trigger rhythm transition fills with the foot switch. I also watched your video on the G11 and it looks like the looping function is similar to the G6. This is going to be a tough decision. I appreciate any insight/thoughts you have on your experience with the looper functionality.
My pleasure.. glad you took somethings away from this video✌️❤️
Great video bro
Appreciate it✌🤓
Holy moly Jon you certainly quickly learn how to use these multi effects pedals. 😀 that is another excellent pedal and it sounds great. You really explained it so well (thanks😀👍)
It looks like it would make a great live kit.
I still love the MG30 that little bit more though.
To me it seems a little low in power and the laptop software seems a bit less user friendly. The MG30 is also €100 cheaper too.
Thanks for a great review Jon 👍😀👍
My pleasure dear Tom✌️❤️
Yet another great rewiew,.. I am concider to purshase the Zoom G6,...looked into Line6 Pod Go,..but it is 80 bucks more,..and i like Zoom so thank you for shareing Love Cheers from Sweden
Glad to help ✌️❤️
Love mine
cool✌❤
Really hope this product is successful for Zoom tbh. They were one of the beginning products for the modeling world and now aren't in any of the conversations between L6, Kemper, Axe FX etc. There's no bass models in the G11 nor the G6 so it was a no brainer to purchase a Line 6 Helix LT over the G11 even though the G11 is going brand new at $599. Remember the original price was to be around $8-900 so the product might not be selling as much as they'd hoped it would.
Yes Tim..i'm afraid you might be right about the last part✌♥
Oh man. Choices....this , the pod go, the nux 30, or just stick with my gt1. And or helix native. Ive tons of software options but I love the looper function and using the pedals. I really need to build up a new from ground up system for the channel! Thanks Jon. Dig it!!
If you are happy with tie GT1, stick with it Robert✌️❤️
Thanks!
Thank you Frederic..✌💙
good demo! 👍👍👍👍
Thank you✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud 👍
Love the tones you achieved and great playing. The unit seems to have all the features I want, but looks underpowered for it's own features. If they upgrade the hardware to fully unleash its power, I would buy one.
I know.. and thanks ✌️❤️
To me, it seems they get worse by each new iteration.
Like they are getting cheaper, in a bad way.
All since the G3/G5 and forward.
Mostly questionable sidesteps.
They were in a good position. Then.
What wonders they *could* have achieved.
@@R.StridstromAgreed. The original g3 just had a lousy pedal layout. The g3n fixed that, but then they removed the second page of parameters, put in the horrible scrolling, etc.
Really cool ～～
✌️❤️
Took your advice and bought a Pod go..
The options of Hum, Bias, Biasx, Rep in the amp on PodGo are the game changer for me.
I think these gives much more closer feeling to have a real amp...
Cheers..
Have a good time
cool!!! ✌💙
very nice video, when u run out of space on the signal chain u should chooce difrent effect, ejm: a Dyna comp it use less memory or another overdrive, so u can add an EQ on the chain .
I know that you can choose a less cpu intensive effect.. but it’s kinda disappointing not being able to use what’s in the unit. If you know what I meant ✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud yes thats true .
Great
✌🤓
I"ll get this,,, 🤟🤟
✌❤
Can I just say: I know a wonderful 'Soul' when I meet one!
Thank you!!
Nice Comanche. 🙂
Thanks ✌️❤️
Thanks for the detailed review. Is it only one loop at a time or multiple loops can be saved on the SD card? If multiple, then how many slot can the 2 hours be divided into?
Please check with Zoom support...✌🤓
I bought my nephew a Zoom G1xon for Christmas a few years ago and sent it back twice due to the input being dodgy, it was ok for a month or so but then died on him, I ended up getting him an interface and Amplitube package
Awwwe 🤪
I’ve had the g3 for years because it has good delays and reverbs, a looper, and battery power.
I’m thinking of upgrading because you can store multiple loops on the the g6 with a memory card. You can’t do that on the line 6 products. I just hope it has different reverbs and delays than the g3. I also own a ms-70 that I use for a synth.
The Helix do not need a Sd card at all..it had enough space for all your presets ✌💙
@@JonIsJustTooLoud
I've never owned a helix but I had a hx stomp and hx effects. They are both in the same price range and they cannot store multiple audio loops.
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Why wouldn't all processors
have enough space for presets , those come
from the factory, you'd think there was plenty
of memory for factory presets.
@@bikersoncall every company differs...
Great review, thanks a lot !
Just a suggestion : you say you didn't like the sound of the cabinets compared to IRs BUT you didn't engage the MIC simulation on the cabinet's configuration screen on your video ! I owned the G5n and the cabinets sounded bad without the MIC SIM engaged, and it was always disengaged by default. So maybe you should try the cabinets again WITH the MIC SIM on !
Yes..I found that out later...✌♥
Got some curiosity Jon - great vid by the way. Can you adjust the settings (such as volume or level of effect etc) on those individual pedals on the touch screen of the pedal itself or are you having to do that with a connected PC and then save it to the G6 from the PC?
Yes you can!
Great video as always! I would like to know if the G6 has the processing capability in terms of sound quality and IR quality equal or very close to the G11?
I want to buy the G6 but I would like to know if when importing external IR's to use in the pedalboard, if the processing power of the G6 would make them sound as good as on the G11?
In terms of sounds, there’s not a wide difference. But there are differences when it comes to DSP power and usage ✌️❤️
Thanks for the great review. Maybe a stupid question but is the headphone (Phones) out mono or stereo? Thanks!!
Stereo
Valeu!
Thank you!✌💙
I like how you can add any combination of effects you like on these Zoom pedals, compared to other cheap-ish multieffects. It's nice to have the option to use more than one effect from the same block in your chain. But on the other hand, the memory limit seems pretty strict. That patch of yours wasn't even that complex, and you were already at 100%.
Also, in the memory mode with the four presets, I was wondering - can you pick which presets there are, as in jump between banks or out of order, or are they always just four consecutive patches?
Nice review and stellar playing as always, thank you.
Thank you.. in memory mode you can select whatever patches and link them up in sequence ✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud That's great, thank you.
Ok, so the FX are the stripped down versions we got with the G3n/G5n/G1Four line. Bummer. I preferred the way they were with the G3/G5/MS line. It's really kind of sad, as now we have an FX-loop, which makes 4CM possible, but we have the dumbed down effects.
Does the G6 offer output modes?
✌️❤️
Very nice sound from what you are playing with Zoom G6. Can I have the link for your pre-sets tone as you mentioned in this video? Thank you
In the description✌♥
Hi! How are you? I liked the review! Very didactic! Congratulations!!
What did you think about the quality of the pedalboard amplifier simulators? Thank you!
It's good✌💛
Hi Jonathan. If you were in the market for a multi effects pedal board and would choose between Zoom G6 or Line 6 Pod GO. Which one would you buy and why?
And
Which of these do you think has the most reasonable Looper function?
I'll go for the Podgo..but thats because I'll always favor the Line 6 stuff.. As for the looper. The Zoom wins as it has a built in drumkit✌🤓
Jon I love videos and demo's I have a question I bought the G5n and I can't stand it.. doesn't sound real fluid and natural to me. I've been looking at the Headrush gigboard but i saw this video.. have you tried the headrush? If So, how does this compare?
Maybe just a tad nicer than the G5N .. but I would advise you to try other similar units at the same time ✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud ok thanks
Hi Jonathan, I bought a G6 after watching your video. It's a great unit. However, my master volume doesn't seem to do anything. I've tried a factory reset but it still doesn't work. Will a firmware update fix this issue? I'm on firmware version 1.20. Thanks.
I would not know as I did not procure this unit. It went back to the shop after the review. You might want to email their support…✌️❤️
I'm looking for something that I can use with my amp (effects only) and/or using as an interface with modeling to record...do you think this would be a good option?
Yes..it would✌💙
This will do both so I'm thinking of investing in one.
Hi! I was thinking on buying the Zoom G6 and I wanted to ask how do you connect it to my audio interface (Scarlett 4i4). What cables do I need to use and which outputs/inputs do I plug it into! Thank you! And I love your playing 😁
You can use the stereo 1/4 inch outs into your interface. Alternatively, you can use the USB but you will have to set some settings on your computer so you can have the G6 output coming into your computer.. still confused? Try googling about G6 connection options✌️❤️
Great reveiws on both this and the G11 also you got some great tones i must say, I can hear a bit of Joe satriani and Steve vai in your stuff, sounds awesome. So I have the G5N zoom would yiu say this is a big leap over that model? And also do yiu think this is the one to go for or is it worth spending the extra 300 and going for the G11?
I think you will need to try out the units you mentioned yourself before you make any decisions✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud would you say any of these outdo the Line 6 helix or is that still the master in guitar effects/amp cab sim programing and sound?
@@zombiejase nah.. they don’t✌️❤️
Nice review and great playing! BTW, what camera are you using on this one? Thanks

Hi Jon, nice sound very good, greetings from Germany Detlev
Thank you brother ✌️❤️
Hi Jon great video! How do I copy your patches to my G6? I just can't seem to figure it out in Guitar Lab.
hmmm... I dont know how to help as I do not have the unit anymore.
How many presets does it come with? I have Digitech rp350, rp355, rp360xp and they come with 70/100 presets each. Plus I could tweak them and store them as user. With this G6, would I be able to do the same? I don’t really create “patches” if that’s what they are called. I just pick presets.
I finally bought me my first real guitar “a Fender American Ultra single coiled”, I was using an old Squier, and my nephews new Squier to play guitar, I’m a song writing bass player.
But because of this new technology & use with the computer & software, I preordered this Zoom G6 so I could give the creating my own effect patches a shot.
This seems to be easier to do with the touch screen & using the touch screens capability. But I’ll still have fun with the presets and tweaking them to my liking and storing them. Any response would be appreciated.
Nice video & reveiw, Thanks.
David..the info is stated in the video
Hey Jon! Big fan of your playing style and tasteful sounds!! I want to buy a unit in this price range, but in doubt between zoom g6 or pod go!! Could you help me out? How do they compare?
They are very different machines.. both have their strong points. For me .. I’m biased because I am a line 6 Helix user. I prefer the PodGo as I’m more familiar with the layout. My advice is to try them physically if possible before you make any decisions ✌️❤️
Intro jam is a cross between GnR and Satriani :)
Lol✌️❤️
Hi. Does the drum section have a Fill-in preset and assignable to a foot switch?
No
Jonathan, I am planning on buying the G6 or the G11soon. I previously owned the G5n but sold it because the situation with the dsp limitations. I read somewhere online that the G11 has more processing dsp than the G6 does...do. you know if that is true? I know you have reviewed both units. Love your channel and you too !
Thank you Darryl...I'm not too sure about the DSP difference. But yes ..I think the G11 has more DSP power, hence the difference in price.
Don't do that, man. Stay away from these Zoom boards. I had the G5 and faced the same problem.
I'm afraid that the G6 is just as bad.
Take a careful look at the video and you'll notice that all pedals still take the same amount of processing power as they take in the G5.
Hi Jonathan, did you find any info on how many points are accepted in the IR responses? I mean for a new launch I'd expect 2048 points, IR but the zoom site didn't make it clear, nor the G6 manual
Thanks!
No I have not..😀
@@JonIsJustTooLoud ok! Thanks! I have asked zoom. I'll share here as soon as they answer
@@niltonarmstrong455 cool.. that would be awesome!✌️❤️
I have been contemplating getting either the G6 or G11. The G11 is almost twice the price of G6. Value for money and taking into consideration the G11 has more processing power and more tactile knobs and switches, which unit would you recommend?
I have my own preferences.. but between the 2? I’ll take the G6 because of the price point✌️❤️
Thanks Jon! I think I'll pre-order the G6.
Thanx for this review. Pls tell me is there any way to download IR into G5N or it doesn't support it?
