Zoom G11 Multi Effects Processor - Secondhand

Full Description

Zoom flagship multi-effects processor

Building on the success of previous versions, the G11 from Zoom is their flagship multi-effects processor – and for good reason! The culmination of over 30 years of design, the Zoom G11 provides everything you need as a guitarist to achieve the sound you want. Utilising cutting-edge technology, Zoom’s engineers have meticulously recreated the sound of some of the most iconic amps and cabs ever created. With 22 cabinet emulations in total and 70 pre-loaded full impulse response (IR) data, you can achieve the sound you want with minimal work. Spanning everything from classic British cabs to new-age amps; the G11 embodies the heart and soul of sonic exploration.

At the heart of the Zoom G11 is a 5-inch colour touchscreen which makes navigating between sounds, settings, effects and modulation easier than ever before. The touchscreen design allows you to drag and drop the various blocks to achieve the sound you desire. This allows you to make ‘on the fly’ changes – perfect for live performances. The G11 also features a built-in, five-minute looper, allowing you to layer multiple parts together to create massive soundscapes and even songs. Navigating between effects, banks and patches is made easy thanks to the quick-select categories at your disposal.

Cutting-edge effects

Zoom has meticulously designed a range of pioneering new effects for their G-series range. For distortion, 'Razor Drive' uses comb filtering to control the saturation by boosting the filter at each frequency point of resonance. This can only be achieved digitally and offers a sharp, cutting distorted tone that adds real aggression and bite to your tone. Continuing the innovation is the 'Wave Shaper' effect which consists of an algorithm that saturates the signal creating additional harmonic content. This creates a remarkably thick sound with a level of saturation unavailable with usual analogue devices.

Modulation madness

Alongside their innovatory distortion counterparts are a range of radical, new modulation effects. 'Geronimo' replicates your signal three times and adds subtle sonic differences to each to deliver a modern, pioneering chorus effect. 'PolyShift' is a new take on pitch-shifting, subtle sound variances are imparted at various points along a two-octave range to create a contemporary-sounding effect. Finally, 'SwellVibe' is a naturally dynamic effect that intuitively responds to your playing; instead of the effect being applied from the start, the vibrato begins only after the note is sounded for a more organic, authentic effect.

Extensive connectivity

With multiple connection options, the G11 is nothing if not versatile. The G11 has a mono input, stereo outputs with volume control, a mono FX loop, AUX in, control in and headphone out for connecting to or from a wide range of devices. Using the USB port, the G11 also functions as a 2-in/2-out audio interface for Mac and PC allowing for minimalist recordings. Also available with a USB connection, Guitar Lab software allows you to browse and upload/download an endless assortment of amps, effects and artists' patches. Similarly, directly connect the G11 to the Handy Guitar Lab app via Bluetooth for wireless access. Whatever your connection preference, the G11 will be able to handle it.
