Zoom stands behind their product it seems, and the sound quality and effects are far superior for the money to L6 and Digitech as well

My only big drawbacks are: some of the pitch shifting effects have absolutely terrible tracking, and the dirt/fuzz options don't sound nearly as good as the real deal.

Great sound quality aside, the build quality is great for the money

All that having been said, the pedal does the job, sounds great, and the build quality is fantastic.

Great build quality, and tons of solid effects to work with

This unit was affordable for me and a welcome addition to my growing music accessories.

The Looper is also more a novelty rather than a useful addition

My only big drawbacks are: some of the pitch shifting effects have absolutely terrible tracking, and the dirt/fuzz options don't sound nearly as good as the real deal.

If you don't need to switch your effects super often and just want a bomb DI rig/backup rig/versatile addition to your pedalboard, this is your girl

It is extremely affordable and a great value (one of a few key reasons I purchased it) especially when priced against the number of comparable analog foot pedals required to replicate the comprehensive bank of sound effects available

My only big drawbacks are: some of the pitch shifting effects have absolutely terrible tracking, and the dirt/fuzz options don't sound nearly as good as the real deal.

The primary reasons I purchased this unit was the high number of positive reviews all over the web, the exceptional price point and the value for dollar spent

Considering that a single, high end pedal can run close to $200, the G3Xn is a good value for learning and experimenting.

The device can support 150 total patches.

With a little tweaking, you can have a great patch

Its built well.

The build of this processor is really sturdy and the effects are really immersive

It's all metal and a solid build

A straightforward effects unit with the great Zoom sounds but less whistles & bells.

The Zoom is solid but does not meet my needs

For usability in live situations and sound quality the Zoom wins by a lot.

You can chain up to seven effects and amp/cab models together; some effects like the more-complex delay effect count as two

I really liked the product: good sound, amazing effects, lot of factory patches

but i already made few patches and i go by this order from left to right effects

Great build quality, and tons of solid effects to work with

A straightforward effects unit with the great Zoom sounds but less whistles & bells.

but I was able to figure out how to use this fine product

I really liked the product: good sound, amazing effects, lot of factory patches

(I just like the flexibility of being able to place my foot pedal in more comfortable positions as needed when playing/practicing and, given the multitude of adjustable parameters, having the unit on my desk for accessibility when recording at home – save from having to bend over all the time.)I am a tech savvy guy (I reckon a smidge or two above average) but still found this product to be very difficult to learn

It's still by far the best value effects pedal in production right now.

Plus, should you happen to stomp on the wrong pedal (God forbid

Even worse, the original series had a bunch "double" pedals, such as Delay/Reverb that would go into a single slot, but the "n" series does not so in practice I'm using 7 or even 8 virtual "pedals" on my G3.At the end of the day I couldn't replicate the majority of the patches I had made on the G3, mostly because of the slot limitations, and that was very disappointing

In order to set the tap tempo, you have to hold the bottom right pedal for several seconds before you select "tap" and then you can tap in your tempo

However, I still like this pedal better than the G3 for one main reason

You are not able to do any editing or building of patches via computer, this would make things so much more user friendly

this thing screams

I like this thing a lot but do not use the pedal at all except as an initial/final setting.

That being said, once you are able to figure things out and gain some understanding on how to enter menus, set parameters and build your own patches, this thing is a lot of fun

The looper and rhythm both work well and work well together

BAD: Looper is worthless in my opinion

The looper and rhythm both work well and work well together

The Looper is also more a novelty rather than a useful addition

And the looper is quite good for practice, could be used live as well but requires skill

This unit was affordable for me and a welcome addition to my growing music accessories.

if you're aware of the limitations and strengths and you're still interested, you're GOING to like this unit

Aside from the initial learning of its functions, this is a very intuitive unit

The G5 is probably the best multi FX unit I have ever had & still use it regularly

The new G3n also lacks the balanced XLR output which the G3 had and trades the full sized USB for a micro USB port... the old unit could be USB bus powered and also could be battery powered
