- Опубліковано 16 сер 2024
- Hello again!!!
This video shows you the FOUR SECONDARY OPERATING MODES of the Zoom G1X-FOUR multi-effects pedal. These modes are accessed by the two rectangular buttons located on either side of the LCD screen.
Here's a free visual "mind map" (PDF) of the primary operating modes you can download and print for reference: drive.google.c...
(The first video covers the FOUR PRIMARY OPERATING MODES: • Zoom G1X-FOUR pedal QU... )
Since we covered all the basic in the first video, let's get right to it...
0:00 Welcome Back
0:30 INTRO: Four Secondary Operating Modes
0:55 Secondary Mode: BUTTONS
Left Button cycles thru:
- Memory / Patch-bank
- Stomp-Box
- Edit

1:40 Secondary Mode 1: MEMORY / PATCH-BANK
Default mode, same as covered in the first video
2:00 Secondary Mode 2: STOMP-BOX
Enable / Disable pedals in the pedal chain
2:55 Secondary Mode 3: EDIT
Edit FX in the pedal chain / patch-bank
Edit the parameters of FX
4:15 Sidenote 1: SAVING EDITS
"Save" is not technically part of the EDIT mode but covering it here seemed to make sense
Important details on properly saving edits!
5:35 Sidenote 2: SAMPLE EDIT: Empty FX slot

If you find value in this video, and you're going to buy this pedal ANYWAY, why not buy it thru my Amazon affiliate link below? It doesn't cost you a dime more, and I earn a few bucks w/ each purchase. (Every little bit helps these days.) If you have your Amazon Smile setup (the link below should go there if you do) your preferred charity will also make a few bucks, and you still paying the same price: $109.
Here's the Amazon link: amzn.to/2SiOvJq
Also, with THIS CABLE, you can use ANY potable speaker with an AUX input as your amplifier: www.amazon.com...
For the record, if other sites (like Sweetwater) made it as easy to be an affiliate, I'd include links for them as well.
Thanks for watching and, like I said... I'm going to jump into the Guitar Lab software and see where that leads, which is probably to a third video on this pedal - lol. If you subscribe to my channel, YT will notify you when it's posted.
Have a comment or question? Post it below. I personally read and reply to them all.
Also, be sure to download the cheat sheet (mind map) of the G1X FOUR Secondary Operating Modes from here:

Have a great day!

Honestly Zoom should pay you for the dedicated work! I'm buying it because of this video
Ahh man thanks :-) and I totally agree - they should !!! LOL ... Seriously though, I'm just trying to help folks get up to speed quickly w/ the pedal (and hey, if you wanna pick it up from my Amazon link that would be awesome: amzn.to/3i5Wx19)
No kidding, you've probably sold more of these than some of their salespeople 😂

Superb. No self indulgent screaming guitar intro, just clear, concise easy to follow instructions. Exactly as these videos should be done 10/10
Thanks SO much for taking time to comment - I really appreciate knowing my vids are well received and more importantly, actually help people :-)
After video number 788 looking to learn functions of G1X, found this sensible man with sensible instructions. Thank you kindly sir and blessings from Oz.
@@beklerken1 blessings from Oz received 🙏 thanks for the kind words and taking time to comment 👍 hope ur having more fun now
Excellent review and explanation for both your videos. Multifunction pedals are new to me and saved a huge amount of time trying to work out how to use the functions. Thank you!
You're very welcome, and thanks for taking time to comment 👍
Thank you... This is the best explanation. i always used to connect to Zoom Guitar lab to edit my tones, but now i can finally do it on the board itself
Thanks Shailesh - rock on !!! :-)
Man, what a great job you have done here! Very clear explanation, straight to the point, even for somebody like me who is from Brazil and is still learning english. Thank you and best of luck in all you do sir! 🤟👊🙏
Thanks for the kind words JC+THB :-) I'm glad the videos were helpful
The best manual on internet. Straight to the point and brilliant description. Thank u so much sir
Thanks for taking time to post a comment - I'm grateful the vids were helpful :-)
This is the best tutorial I found for G1X. I had one issue editing that this explained. My crazy experimental edits were getting saved automatically. Thanks for the quick and easy flow through operations.
You're welcome Todd and thanks for commenting :-)
Also, if you are running to a guitar amp, turn off the ‘mic’ or get rid of the cabinet simulator in each patch you use.
If you are running to an audio interface (recording direct) turn on the ‘mic’ or add a cabinet simulator to each patch you use.
Example: if you run a patch that has a cab sim in the signal chain to a guitar amp it will sound ‘muddy’. Try that patch again with the cab sim mic turned off and see if you like it better.
If you are using this in the studio, and running it into your audio interface. Running a patch that does not have a cab sim in the chain will sound ‘harsh’ or ‘tinny’. Try that patch again with a cab sim added and the ‘mic’ turned on. 🎸
Terrific insight Dennis - thanks so much for passing those along :-)
where is this "mic" you are talking about. Did I miss something? Also I was planning on buying one of these mostly just for headphone monitoring, not going into an amp or cabinet. Would these preset patches sound like crap until I add or take up a slot with a cabinet sim? thanks for the info :)
Thank you! Something I can use. For whatever reason Im copying (watching this guy is) I go back 2nd time check again, it’s not working the same. Much talk
That was one of the first things I did. The presets are all mic off by default. I was just using headphones so I turned it on, an yes it does brighten up.
I have a ZoomG 1four and I must say I really like it a lot. It has a lot of distortions and they sound great. Thank you for the show.
Great to hear !!! and thanks for chiming in on the discussion :-)
No indulgent painfully screeching guitar riffs as so may guitar content makers do, but JM2C gets straight to the meat and potatoes. Most informative and most enjoyable. Shame on Zoom for not paying this presenter for marketing their product
Hey, I agree !!! Shame on Zoom LOL :-) Thanks for the good words
Nice work. Finally, a video on this unit from someone who has actually used it enough to know how to efficiently navigate the system menu, and clearly describe it. Thanks for your effort. Unit arrives today.
Thanks and you are very welcome - I had the same frustrations w/ the FIRST G1X unit, and determined to make life easier for Zoom users everywhere when the new one came out a few years ago !!! Thanks for taking time to comment Beerbatter !!!
@JM2C My G1X Four came in yesterday. I played with it for over 2 hours. Never even read the manual after watching your video and was instantly able to use all of the features. And if anyone is wondering, this is the best $99 you could spend. Little unit is amazing. Thanks again.
Dude that's awesome !!! (sorry it took me a while to reply - didn't realize notifications were off)
i own this pedal for about a year plus, and i didnt know that it has all this function. thanks for the video man.
Glad it was helpful :-)
Switching Boss GT 1 to Zoom G1X Four was never easy!! But man your videos have helped me a lot to adjust with mu G1X Four. Thanks a lot.
Hey that’s awesome - never tried that Boss unit myself … what caused you to switch ???
You are great man i was able to understand the whole processor after his video
Thanks for the kind words :-) great to know these videos are STILL helping people!
@@TheImageDoctorSure. It helped me alot. Keep on doing the good work 👍🏻
Thanks so much for the in-depth guide! Mine will be arriving today, and I'm so excited to try it out on my cello for my church band.
Cello ?!?!?!? That's awesome - let us know how that works out 👍
13:23 - " I don't wanna eeh-ehh-weh-eh-waa-eeh-ehh-ehh" 🤣 That was Hilarious!
I know right ?!?!? But that's what it sounds like LOL !!!
Yes sir! 😂
Absolutely 💯 the best break downs on the Zoom G1X!! Very grateful you took the time to go into detail about the different functions of it, as I have just bought one and have been trying to figure it out. Would love to see you do a video on how to download more patches using the a PC and how to get rid of the ones pre loaded on the pedal that aren't of use..thanks again dude!
Hey thanks so much chunkymunky - glad it was helpful :-) yeah I'm really anxious to crack open GuitarLab and see what's up w/ that !!!
Just ordered one earlier from Sweetwater and your videos not only made me feel good about my decision but now I also have a good source for information!! Great job and Thank you!
Dude - you are SO welcome and thanks for writing :-) and hey, remember: don't be disappointed if some of the factory patches don't sound too good - IMO most of them are preset w/ too much of everything LOL - but you got the lowdown on how to tweak 'n tune 'em, so you're golden - and if you're a techie, then you will definitely want to jump into the GL sofware (fyi, that's my next video project too) - have fun and maybe comment again once you've had it a week or two - I'm always curious what people genuinely experience after watching the videos
@@TheImageDoctor Will do and thanks again!😀
Best Zoom G1 FOUR tutorial out there! THANK YOU!
Wow, thanks (!!!) super glad it was helpful for you :-)
Best Video on G1X-Four! I just bought the Zoom A1X Four--and none of the available videos explain this pedal as well as you do. Especially the two pedal Category display. Could not find that anywhere else, thank you. Zoom needs to write much better manuals.
Zoom is great, and I've been a user/fan for decades (!!!) but yeah, they're just too big and corporate now to pay attention to what users really need to know to get up to speed - but the G1Xfour is the ONLY FX pedal on my board (and the G1Xon was previously) so I'm pretty clear on what "real world users" need to know about this pedal - thanks for commenting :-)
I’m really bad with directions, very monkey see money do. Thank you so much for these videos! Very straight and to the point
Awesome man, so glad the vids were helpful :-) thanks for commenting !!!
Just bought one of these for Saxophone last month. I'm familiar with working with chains, and think that the Zoom is quite intuitive, but I'm very appreciative for you showing me a few features that I wouldn't have stumbled upon myself.
Saxaphone ??? That's pretty COOL!!! Glad the vids were helpful and thanks for commenting Jake
@@TheImageDoctor yup. These were actually designed with acoustic instruments in mind. The presets feature effects for violin, trumpet, and sax. In fact, the preamp is far superior to most multi-effects pedals from the past. The feedback eliminator is also pretty amazing! I'm actually running my wireless mic through an old Digitech Vocal-300 into the Zoom. Basically, the Digitech is replacing the Zoom's XLR to 1/4" converter preamp. My original plan was to just replace the Digitech outright, but the two pedals actually work very well with each other. The added bonus is that I can stack even more effects from the previous pedal into the Zoom while the latter amplifies and cleans up the signal better than the Digitech ever could do on its own. I'll get around to posting some A/V on this topic eventually.
Did you buy this or the A1X? Apparently Zoom's A- series are the ones designed for acoustic instruments, particularly winds
@@technoguyx you're right. A1X4. It has more than a few similarities with this model, particularly in the UI.
@@technoguyx OK, so I dug into this a bit deeper when I got home. I live in Pittsburgh, and was coming back from a pretty lucrative gig in Detroit when you commented. First thing's first. I love what Zoom is doing. I created a few patches via the Zoom Guitar Lab app with a set of headphones. The user interface is even easier to use than what the pedal itself can offer. I didn't have the chance to try these out in a live setting before putting them to use, but they worked perfectly fine in a medium sized venue in front of about 400 people. The band I was with has a Presonus digital board that we use for IEM's. Bottom line, I can keep track of my levels from patch to patch via an iPad that's in front of me. The shear consistency from patch to patch impressed me, even when using my old Digitech as a preamp. In fact, this pedal has only improved that one.
Now going onto Zoom's website and comparing specs, I'm fairly confident in saying that the G1x Four and A1x Four are the same pedal with two major caveats.
1) The A1x Four comes with a battery powered XLR to 1/4" preamp. This is used as a means to easily connect a mic to the pedal. This is used for acoustic instruments, though I'm sure it can be used well in applications in which a guitarist prefers to mic their amp as opposed to going direct. I'm not using this particular piece of hardware, since my Digitech is doing the exact same thing without the worry of running out of battery power.
2) The G1x Four is preloaded with guitar effects in mind while the A1x Four is preloaded with general purpose effects. Both can be reprogrammed to perform the other pedal's job via the Zoom Guitar Lab app. Both can be made into something totally different with the same app. When it comes to A/D, D/A conversions, signal processing power, displays, input/output, and output in ohms, they're the same. Even the battery life is 18 hours continuous with both.
The only real discrepancies I can see are in the dimensions and weight of the chassis, and it looks like that boils down to a few typos in the A1X Four description. The differences make absolutely no sense to me. I work in retail, furniture specifically, and I see mistakes like this quite often. Hey, it's an honest mistake made by data entry folk in an office that have no real context as to what the actual product is. I'd only be able to confirm this by having both pedals on hand, which I don't, but after looking at everything I think it's safe to say that I'm going off of a pretty well educated hunch.
Downloaded software and installed with no issues. Only issue is while you have your device connected to your PC-you are able to make changes, save patches, change effects etc.
>>The only drawback is, after you make your changes, you have to plug your device back into your PA to do a "tone check". You can not hear the changes you made in the editor on your PC.
I'm probably missing something...as usual. Anyways-despite the "learning curve", I'm happy with the acoustic sounds I'm getting. I did try my Les Paul and choose some of the amps in banks 1-10...Yup-that took some paint off the ceiling...lmao:)) Thanks again. Could not have got this far without you! Best Regards and Respect!
Interesting... I never thought of using the pedal that way - meaning... passing the guitar signal thru to the computer via the USB connection so that you could "preview" the changes on computer speakers. AFAIK that feature/function doesn't exist in the pedal or the software. Personally, I don't know that I would use it much if it were available, because I want to know what the changes sound like thru my playing setup (amp / PA) and not computer speakers. But I suppose for the purpose of quickly previewing changes, it could make sense in certain workflows. Appreciate you sharing those ideas and thoughts !!!
I spent most of today briefly watching your vids, and finally ordered one of these. I can not thank you enough for these videos. Subscribed!!
That's awesome Michael !!! I hope you have a great time w/ the pedal :-) and remember (!!!) you may not like some (or many) of the DEFAULT settings so don't get discouraged - just jump in and start tweaking things to your liking !!!
Sorry, have already, just, ordered my B1 four. This was great, thank you. Of all the many vids I've watched, mostly B1 ones, these, parts one and two, were the best. Clearest, most info, logical format, good graphics, no nonsense delivery. I'm well prepared for the arrival of my pedal. I'll go and subscribe now even though I'm a basser. More thanks.
Congratulations on your new B1X-four pedal - I've heard a lot of great things about the bass version of the pedal - fortunately the bass and guitar pedals are identical in terms of user interface and operation - thanks for commenting and subscribing :-)
Thanks. I didn't knew the same processor i had packs tons of features. Big thanks!!!
You're welcome - thanks for letting me know the vids were helpful
Phenomenal pedal. Comes with super intuitive computer software. Much easier for edits
Totally agree - and thanks for chiming in👍
I got this cause it looked simple. Messed around with it. But this helped a lot.
Cool - glad it was helpful and hope you have fun w/ the Zoom :-)
I never took the time to actually fo through all of these and there is some really useful stuff, thanks a lot!
Glad it was helpful - it's an awesome little unit :-)
Well worth the time to watch it Already bought it
Very kind of you, and congrats on your Zoom unit !!! :-)
I just got mine yesterday..and found your channel next day😃its pretty hard at first,but after watching your vids and playing with it for few hrs,its seem to be easier now..cheers for the vid..
You got it :-) thanks for letting me know it was helpful
Thank you for taking the time to record/edit/post these videos. They have been very helpful. 👍
You are super welcome :-) glad they were helpful
Awesome brother thankyou so much. Straight forward explanations and no loud screaming guitars. Really helpful thanks😊
You are very welcome - I only do videos on the equipment I personally play and use, so I can help people get up to speed quickly, without hearing me plink around on the guitar (I have a band channel anytime you're really desperate for new music, LOL) - Thanks for taking time to comment :-)
Thank you very much :) amazing video! I just purchased my first electric guitar today (Squire Sonic HSS) & Boss Katana Mini. Wanted a looper & drum kit too. Picked up the Zoom G1XFour after watching your video. I'm all set now. Thank you! Subscribed.
Whoop-whoop and rock on @roooop !!! Thanks for taking time to comment :-)
Concise video and clearly explained. I don't need the damm manual to use this. It's broken down in a manner that makes sense and quickly get to getting on with making music.
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. If you ever do one on the Nux MG30 as a no thrills, no bull tutorial series, I would love that.
Hi @joellebrodeur1015 - thanks so much for the kind words :-) My wife is on me to make more videos as well LOL, but there's SO many pieces of equipment out there in the world now, I really just focus on equipment I actually use - that being said, I am planning out 2-3 new videos right now :-) 2 on new equipment I'm using, and 1 how-to on a piece of existing equipment I have - never a dull moment LOL !!!
Brilliant, came from the first video, I have the bass sibling B1-four and this video is perfect and I've just bought a G1X-Four now too, I even told Zoom it was because of your videos 😅
Hey man thanks for lobbying Zoom on my behalf 😀 but more importantly, I'm glad the videos were helpful 👍
Best breakdown of the parameters of this unit I've seen. Good 👍 job
Appreciate that Denny :-) and I just subscribed to your channel - great stuff you got there !!!
@@TheImageDoctor Thank you!
And Same here Sub
one of the most helpful info video iv ever seen
Very kind of you :-) I'm really glad it was helpful, thanks for posting 👍
Thanks! I have been performing with this and have just been using the preset "1" bank, since it has 3 useful patches, and I have a custom one. But there is one that I don't like and one that I like another better, so thanks for teaching me how to swap patches! Now I'll be able to have 5 of my exact favorite patches with just a button each away!
Very cool - glad the vids were helpful :-)
Hey Dude, thank you so so much for this video! It was incredibly helpful and although I got the pedal for Christmas and watched the video after I got it, It just got me so much more excited to use it! You seem genuinly like a nice, fun-to-be-around person. Thank you so much!
Thanks man - I like to think I'm that kinda guy... most of the time at any rate, LOL !!! Glad the videos helped and congrats on your new pedal :-)
Thanks for an informative video without any attempts at showing off your guitar prowess.
Thanks for letting me know the G1X videos were helpful - I only PLAY guitar in my videos for specific short purposes and examples - I figure most people want CONTENT that makes their musical lives faster, easier, less frustrating and more fun - so that's what I focus on 😎👍
seriously man God bless you for this
_/|\_ very kind of you and I accept the blessing :-)
Awesome tutorial. Thankyou. Please make a 3rd video.
Yeppers, I made a 3rd video on the GuitarLab vs. ToneLib software: ua-cam.com/video/nnSVqW6Sx6A/v-deo.html

Zoom is absolutely amazing for the price, ease of use, travel, tone etc....
I own the Zoom g1 four. And have been using it for 4 years now. I still love it. Great tones with good dynamic response with this unit. Just love it.
Please make a review on the new Zoom G2 would like to know about the unit
Hi there :-) The G2 looks like a great unit, but I only make videos on the equipment I personally use and buy (unless Zoom or anyone else wants to SEND me something - but THAT aint happened yet LOL !!!)
Thx my friend, you saved me a lot of time to learn how to use it. Cheers from Québec.
You're welcome Yves and cheers from Colorado :-)
Excellent video man. Thanks much. Also, I got a chuckle out of the patch-switching sound effects at 13:23.
HA !!! I forgot about those - LOL - glad you like the vid and thanks for commenting :-)
Dude you should have zoom pay you this was a great how to video instant sub... Thanks again... Great Post
You da man :-) Thanks so much for the kind words djmochaman !!!
Nice video for new user like me and it would be very easy/comfortable to connect this Zoom G1x 4 to my guitar right away. Thank you so much for your sharing us this tutorial again sir.
Glad to do it and thanks again for the kind words :-)
Definitely would love a 3rd video and maybe a demo. Subbed
Yep - time for a 3rd video !!! As soon as I have my office/studio setup, I'll dig into GuitarLab - Thx for the sub :-)
Absolutely pro breakdown of this pedal!
Thank you SO much - I'm glad it helped and really appreciate the compliment :-)
@@TheImageDoctor For sure! I’ll be picking one up soonish, and these will be my references for questions for sure. Keep it up!
Very much appreciate all the effort that went into these videos!
You are very welcome - thanks for letting me know they were helpful :-)
I watched your video a couple times, ordered it and had it delivered in a few hours. Im yet to have a review of it but im about to dive into it. I have a pedal board but it gets expensive experimenting and changing things around. Like others said, you should get paid by Zoom.
The price is 99 now on Amazon. Think the price has dropped a bit, that's why I grabbed it.
Awesome - Hope you enjoy it !!! I didn't know the price had dropped... and just in time for the holidays 😀 (and I agree about Zoom)
@@TheImageDoctor I did a run through an made a AC DC patch in the matter of two hours. Crazy thing is I put batteries in an nothing. Turned out my expensive guitar cable didnt seem to connect. I changed cables an it fired up on batteries. I think it sounds damn good. Im not sure how much it was in the past but Amazon its 99. Thanks for videos.
Absolute fantastic video!
Thank you very much - I do my best :-)
Loved this! very clear and concise. you are the real Guru!
LOL !!! Well, I appreciate that comment 😀 and glad you found the video helpful 👍
Great explanation! Thorough and engaging. Very hard elements to balance but you did it amazingly intuitively. (Double Adverb)
Thanks for the kind words and taking time to comment :-) I'm glad it was helpful
Thank you for a fantastic video series. Really an excellent job. This is all new to me so I'm sure I will be watching these quite a few times to get the comprehension I need, I can't get that reading the manual for sure.
Yeah - some vendors really nail the 80/20 overviews of their equipment, others not so much - but hey, that's what YT is for :-) thanks for commenting and I'm glad the vids were helpful
I LOVE the time stamps!
Thanks Annie May :-) They do make it easy to jump around and find what you're looking for.
WOW!!! That is a lot to ascertain. Very helpful for what brain cells I have left. Never new that figuring out joe satriani can become secondary to figuring out the effects. This is another great reference video to go back to so thank you. FYI I did see a trick on another channel about turning the first knob to select mic on or off. It kinda deadens the feedback or makes the sound sharper. Idk how to do it I’ll go back and add it to a comment to your video #2. Thanx again I’ll share this and recommend ur videos to who I can
Thanks so much Ron :-) Yeah, this second video is a little like drinking from a fire hose - lol - even going thru it all quickly ended up being double length of the first video - regarding the "mic trick" you mentioned, I think that setting is on the cabinet emulator FX (2x12, 4x10, etc.) really appreciate you taking the time to comment and share
You are THE MAN!! Thank you!
Thanks for the vote of confidence :-) I'll probably quote you on that LOL !!!
Thanks a lot for making such a very very helpful video in a detailed way. God bless...🙏🙏🙏
So nice of you - I'm happy it was helpful :-)
Thanks for this video, you really helped me
Glad I could help - thanks for commenting 👍
Yess!! Great tutorial..im convince to buy zoom because of your explanation.. you have great skill in teaching.., thank you sir
So nice of you Jessie - and glad the video was helpful for you :-)
Excellent Needed a re-cap, your spot on Many thanks Man !!
Rock on !!! Glad it was helpful :-)
This just cleared all my doubts. You just made my day, man. Keep doing such great videos.
Woohoo !!! That's my goal Chamgrik : to help people understand the basics so they can make their decisions - thanks SO much for taking time to comment :-)
Thank you much for the in-depth walkthrough! I couldn't figure out how to assign the pedals to the chain to save my life. I still can't dial in the HEAVY distortion I was hoping for, but I guess I'll keep messing with it. Thanks again bud 👍🏼
Thanks for posting Ryan and glad you like the video :-) on the HEAVY distortions, maybe try including a CABINET emulator at the end of your FX chain, then experiment with the MIC on/off setting - obviously that's not a "distortion" effect per se, but it's a nice A/B toggle that may get you closer to the sound you're looking for when using other distortion pedals in your chain, and each cabinet sim has a different sonic character - also, have you looked into the GuitarLab software? I'm betting there's some heavy distortion options already setup, shared and ready for download
@@TheImageDoctor Good looking out! I haven't had a chance to plug it into the computer yet, I'm sure I'll find some goodies in there. Thanks again!
Very detailed video. It was helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful - thanks for letting me know :-)
Very useful and clear video... Thankyou so much... Love from India...
My pleasure 😊 thanks for letting me know it was helpful
Just went out and bought one after watching this 😂
Oh yeah :-) glad you found the video helpful - enjoy your new pedal !!!
Thank you so much for this
You betcha - glad the videos were helpful
Received unit today-you are so right-A lot of these need to be tweaked. I'd like to delete some (yes, they are that bad) I finally got a "save" on channel 52 (don't know how that happened) for my acoustic. Still trying to find the "Delete From Chain" button-seems to be non-existent.
Initial thoughts are the buttons and pressing and back and forth are time consuming and at times confusing.
I have a tremolo that is turned off and can't seem to find the method to delete from the chain.
Being the first day, I'll back off (frustration level is at +10 right now) I suppose this is the purgatory for not spending the money on a Quad Cortex. Will continue to watch your vids (God knows I missed stuff)
Thanks again.
I completely understand what you're going thru, which is fundamentally why I made these videos.
To your point about a "delete" button, you're right: It does not exist - because the unit interface isn't designed that way...
1. The pedal has 5 "slots" for FX
2. Every "slot" has the exact same list of FX selections
3. FX are not "added" or "deleted" from the slots
4. FX are simply "selected" in each slot
5. One of the selections is "no FX" (Empty)
6. To remove an FX from a SLOT, simply roll the selection to "Empty"
I realize for many this is NOT intuitive - I'm just saying that's the way it works (and when we know the rules, we can play the game rather than yelling at the officials LOL !!!) Suffice to say, this G1Xfour is much, much easier to use than the previous G1Xon.
Yes, the Quad Cortex (Kemper, Headrush, etc.) will blow the Zoom G1Xfour completely out of the water in terms of features and sonic quality, no two ways about it. So if that's what you're actually listening for, just pack up the zoom and send it back (or keep it as a cheap backup FX unit.)
In the final analysis, the Zoom G1Xfour is a $120 digital multi-FX pedal, with on-board rhythm and looper, and a wide selection of tweakable FX. Measured on THOSE terms, IMO... it's a damn fine little pedal - and still to this day, the only FX pedal on my board :-)
Hi, JM2C. I, for one, would very much appreciate a third tutorial on interfacing with ZOOM's Guitar Lab utility. Thanks, in advance.
Already put a short overview / comparison video up, but I really don't use the software at all with my setup
Good video if you done know all about the zoom pedal.
glad the video was helpful for you, and thanks for commenting
Great job! really helpful ... love how clear and complete your explanations are ... Thank you so much. 👍
Thanks for posting - It's great to know the videos are helping :-)
Well demonstrated sir
Awesome👍
I wanted hear the sound withe set up.
Hey cool - glad you like it Ulike
Very informative. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful ❤️ thank you 👍
You’re welcome MM 😊

with the PC you can know the percentage that corresponds to the workload of each single effect.
Hey that's VERY cool - didn't know that (or maybe I did and forgot - LOL!!!)
Thanks for the helpful video Kevin!
So glad it helped 👍
Beautifully clear explanation - thank you! It's nice to hear you sounding enthusiastic about this pedal. It seems remarkably similar to my 23 -year-old Zoom GFX 707, despite the wide difference in age. However, the external software compatability and the ability to change the order of the effects in a patch (in the G1X Four) seem like major improvements. If only it had drum fills! Both pedals seem similarly complicated to set up and navigate, especially for an older geezer like me, with a poor memory! I'm wondering if there's another budget multi-effects pedal of similar price and capability that's a little simpler to set up and navigate.
I know the 707, good FX units... I had a Zoom 9002 belt pack WAY back in the day (actually went thru TWO of them) the units broke down long ago, but that is STILL the BEST single FX unit i've ever played through - not that it sounded the best, it sounded decent, but the convenience of playing w/ a belt-pack FX unit using a controller stuck to the back of my guitar was an absolutely awesome setup !!! - thanks for the trip down memory lane !!!
@@TheImageDoctor Such a shame the G1X Four doesn't have the sampler feature found on the GFX-707. Drum fills and endings would have made the G1X so much better, too, IMO. Still, it does look easier to use. I was always forgetting how to operate the edit and save mode on the 707!
Anyway you can cover how to remove a stomp box from a patch, not just turn it off but remove it from the patch completely or how to take a blank patch build on it with a stomp box pedal. 2 Huge functions that I feel should be covered.
If I understand the question... the first “pedal” in all 5 “slots” of every “patch” is a blank / empty pedal - so to “remove” any fx pedal from the 5-slot chain is simply a matter of rolling that slot’s pedal setting back to the default “empty” pedal - hope that make sense ???
@@TheImageDoctor It did, thank you sir.
Very well explained. Thanks man. It helped me a lot.
Sweet - glad it helped :-)
Great explanation. Have you been able to do a guitar lab video? Thanks
Yes, of sorts, but its really more of a quick A/B between the two software packages that work with the Zoom G1Xfour: ua-cam.com/video/nnSVqW6Sx6A/v-deo.html
thank you so much for the video!
going now to video no.2 :))
You're welcome ElectricSh0cker - glad the vids are helpful :-)
