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
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.

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. 🎸
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.
Thank you for helping me out with the Bank Hold. Never knew it existed and I hated that I had to stop what I was doing and click on another number that I want. That is one big relief!!! Hope that you are doing well and keep on ROCKING!!!
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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!
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 😎👍
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!
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 :-)
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 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..
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 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!
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.
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 !!!
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 !!!
Great explanation! I might as well buy this one just because you've explained it so well ❤ Just sorry that Amazon doesn't ship to my country! Thank you so much!
Great Job... Very Accurate indeed...!!! You saved me a treasure of time...!!! I'm honestly great full with you... And I'm your subscriber also... Thanks a lot again...!
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!
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 !!!)
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.
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
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
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 :-)
Yes, absolutely. There are two 1/4" outs on the left side of the pedal - the top one is guitar (and looper) and the bottom one splits out the rhythm / drums.
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.
@@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.
This was so helpful - thank you! Does this pedal retain your patch edits, when power is disconnected for an extended period, or does it revert to factory presets? Shame they didn't include the sampler found on the 707. Drum fills and endings would have made it much better too. Still, it does look easier to use, thanks to the LCD screen; I was always forgetting how to operate some features of the 707!
Thanks Al - I'm glad the vids were helpful and really appreciate you taking time to comment (left a long reply on your other comment 👍) You got me on the power question. My bet is the settings are written to programmable ROM (so to speak) and it probably has a backup button-battery inside, as many electronic devices do - for me, to date, I've never lost my settings... but that pedal has probably never been w/o power for more than a week at a time since new - So, yeah... I suppose it's anyone's guess LOL !!!
Great video. Just what I needed. Although what I'm trying to find is how you SAVE a loop, so you can pull it up on stage or at later date. Is that possible?
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
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!
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
Hello! I found the videos on this pedal helpful, but i do have a question if i can make it make sense lol. So, a normal pedal, like a single Boss pedal or something similar, that has one button to press to turn the function either on or off, thereby either using the effect (e.g. Distortion) or bypassing through to the amp with your regular clean guitar sound. Can that be done with the Zoom G1x? I understand that you can switch it to "edit" mode and turn off individual effects of a whole patch, but i can't figure out if there's a way to switch the entire patch on and off. Obviously, that is a nice feature of any other pedals I've used as there may be a song you want to play parts of just clean with no effects but then others you may want to have some distortion. This is the first multi-effect pedal that I've ever even messed with, but i would think it should have that capability..if not, I may be looking in to another option either for a multi-effect pedal or several indivitual pedals as needed.. Thanks for your time!
You've asked a common question, and I began with a very similar (traditional) perspective about "stomp boxes" - which is ultimately what led me to create these videos. The simple answer is NO, the pedal does not have a single dedicated on/off switch as is found on most traditional guitar pedals. Should it have one? Arguably, yes - and arguably no. The key word is "should" because that's an entirely subjective thing. Technically, we could use the TUNER for a completely "dry" bypass setting, but that's a little tricky and usually not what most people want. Most people want a different (thinner, drier, whatever) FX combination rather than absolutely no FX whatsoever. For instance, one may wish to disable distortion, but keep compression and chorus running - so that's not really a dry/bypass signal, it's just cutting one pedal out of the chain - the results of which CAN be reproduced with the Zoom pedal, when one adjusts one's operational philosophy to be more compatible with the design-build of the pedal. Therefore, I always recommend setting up one's patch-banks to match one's SONG SET, so you can literally step-thru pre-programmed FX pedals in coordination with your set list. Finally, we setup one patch-bank (I use 50-59) as a default go-to patch-bank, with our most commonly used FX pedals in that bank, including any "clean/dry" FX we may want. That way we have 4 complete banks (i.e. 40 completely unique pedal setups) matched to our set, and a final bank of standard favorite settings as our anytime go-to bank. Thus, my encouragement to everyone who's written in with this or similar questions, is to learn to use the Zoom pedal as it has been built to be used, because THAT isn't going to change. Simply modify a few "expectations" to fit the pedal and I promise you'll have a lot more fun and a lot less frustration with this pedal. JM2C - Enjoy !!!
FWIW... I've personally found more success (and peace of mind) creating sounds (patches) by simply using what the pedal has to offer in my particular environment, than trying to pursue sounds that "should be" in the pedal based on FX labels and such - Here's what I mean, I'm playing a decent guitar thru this little digital FX unit into a PA system in my home studio, or directly into a small sound board as my audio interface - I have no "real" equipment (i.e. amps, pedals, etc.) to work with, so I have NO idea if a TS thru a FNDR sounds like its "supposed to sound" (I hope this makes sense) - therefore, I just flip around and fiddle around w/ the FX in the pedal until I get a sound I DO like, and then I press "Save" :-) best wishes for great results David
@@TheImageDoctor thanks Kevin. I guess I’m fundamentally lazy. 😂 and if a particular sound has already been originated it might well be better than my efforts. Still I’ll give it a go.
Honestly Zoom should pay you for the dedicated work! I'm buying it because of this video

@@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.
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 👍
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 !!!
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
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 😎👍
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 !!!
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 :-)
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 👍
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
This was super-helpful - thanks for posting!
You betcha - and thank you for taking time to comment 👍
I just got my G1X Four yesterday, both of your videos really helped me out, thanks!
Hey that's awesome! Thank for letting me know the videos helped :-)
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 :-)
Phenomenal pedal. Comes with super intuitive computer software. Much easier for edits
Totally agree - and thanks for chiming in👍
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
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 👍
Explained so well. To the point and concise. Thank you.
You betcha - glad it was helpful and thanks for commenting :-)
Fantastic run down on how to use the G1X4 in a clear ,easy to understand way ! Thank you so much 👍
So glad to hear it was helpful :-) that's my goal !!!
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 :-)
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 :-)
Well worth the time to watch it Already bought it
Very kind of you, and congrats on your Zoom unit !!! :-)
Exactly what I want in a deep dive video.
Splendid :-) have fun and jam on !!!
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 !!!
Very useful and clear video... Thankyou so much... Love from India...

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!
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 !!!
Great great!! I was looking how to swap effects and I found it right here. Great job!! Thanks!!!

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 :-)
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 !!!)
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 :-)
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 :-)
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
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

I wanted hear the sound withe set up.
Hey cool - glad you like it Ulike
Thanks for your insight. It is possible to separate the drums sound to another amp and the guitar effects to other amp ?
Yes, absolutely. There are two 1/4" outs on the left side of the pedal - the top one is guitar (and looper) and the bottom one splits out the rhythm / drums.
Thanks for the helpful video Kevin!
So glad it helped 👍
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.
Very well explained. Thanks man. It helped me a lot.
Sweet - glad it helped :-)
This was so helpful - thank you! Does this pedal retain your patch edits, when power is disconnected for an extended period, or does it revert to factory presets? Shame they didn't include the sampler found on the 707. Drum fills and endings would have made it much better too. Still, it does look easier to use, thanks to the LCD screen; I was always forgetting how to operate some features of the 707!
Thanks Al - I'm glad the vids were helpful and really appreciate you taking time to comment (left a long reply on your other comment 👍) You got me on the power question. My bet is the settings are written to programmable ROM (so to speak) and it probably has a backup button-battery inside, as many electronic devices do - for me, to date, I've never lost my settings... but that pedal has probably never been w/o power for more than a week at a time since new - So, yeah... I suppose it's anyone's guess LOL !!!
Great video. Just what I needed. Although what I'm trying to find is how you SAVE a loop, so you can pull it up on stage or at later date. Is that possible?
Unfortunately, you can't save loops for later recall - at least not that I'm aware of.
@@TheImageDoctor THanks for the reply! I'll have to find another solution.
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
Thanks for this video, you really helped me
Glad I could help - thanks for commenting 👍
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!
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!
Hello! I found the videos on this pedal helpful, but i do have a question if i can make it make sense lol. So, a normal pedal, like a single Boss pedal or something similar, that has one button to press to turn the function either on or off, thereby either using the effect (e.g. Distortion) or bypassing through to the amp with your regular clean guitar sound. Can that be done with the Zoom G1x? I understand that you can switch it to "edit" mode and turn off individual effects of a whole patch, but i can't figure out if there's a way to switch the entire patch on and off. Obviously, that is a nice feature of any other pedals I've used as there may be a song you want to play parts of just clean with no effects but then others you may want to have some distortion. This is the first multi-effect pedal that I've ever even messed with, but i would think it should have that capability..if not, I may be looking in to another option either for a multi-effect pedal or several indivitual pedals as needed..
Thanks for your time!
You've asked a common question, and I began with a very similar (traditional) perspective about "stomp boxes" - which is ultimately what led me to create these videos.
The simple answer is NO, the pedal does not have a single dedicated on/off switch as is found on most traditional guitar pedals. Should it have one? Arguably, yes - and arguably no. The key word is "should" because that's an entirely subjective thing.
Technically, we could use the TUNER for a completely "dry" bypass setting, but that's a little tricky and usually not what most people want. Most people want a different (thinner, drier, whatever) FX combination rather than absolutely no FX whatsoever. For instance, one may wish to disable distortion, but keep compression and chorus running - so that's not really a dry/bypass signal, it's just cutting one pedal out of the chain - the results of which CAN be reproduced with the Zoom pedal, when one adjusts one's operational philosophy to be more compatible with the design-build of the pedal.
Therefore, I always recommend setting up one's patch-banks to match one's SONG SET, so you can literally step-thru pre-programmed FX pedals in coordination with your set list. Finally, we setup one patch-bank (I use 50-59) as a default go-to patch-bank, with our most commonly used FX pedals in that bank, including any "clean/dry" FX we may want. That way we have 4 complete banks (i.e. 40 completely unique pedal setups) matched to our set, and a final bank of standard favorite settings as our anytime go-to bank.
Thus, my encouragement to everyone who's written in with this or similar questions, is to learn to use the Zoom pedal as it has been built to be used, because THAT isn't going to change. Simply modify a few "expectations" to fit the pedal and I promise you'll have a lot more fun and a lot less frustration with this pedal. JM2C - Enjoy !!!
Very informative. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic video, thanks Kevin. Do you know where I can find a "Patch" list. I particularly want a Shadows or Hank Marvin sound? Many thanks.
Ignore that request Kevin, a simple Google search found one.
FWIW... I've personally found more success (and peace of mind) creating sounds (patches) by simply using what the pedal has to offer in my particular environment, than trying to pursue sounds that "should be" in the pedal based on FX labels and such - Here's what I mean, I'm playing a decent guitar thru this little digital FX unit into a PA system in my home studio, or directly into a small sound board as my audio interface - I have no "real" equipment (i.e. amps, pedals, etc.) to work with, so I have NO idea if a TS thru a FNDR sounds like its "supposed to sound" (I hope this makes sense) - therefore, I just flip around and fiddle around w/ the FX in the pedal until I get a sound I DO like, and then I press "Save" :-) best wishes for great results David
@@TheImageDoctor thanks Kevin. I guess I’m fundamentally lazy. 😂 and if a particular sound has already been originated it might well be better than my efforts. Still I’ll give it a go.
