Zoom G6 Guitar Multi-Effects - Secondhand

Full Description

Like a G6

Innovation at every turn. The Zoom G6 Guitar Multi-Effects is so much more than a standalone multi-effects pedal. It allows you to build your tone from the ground up, with expansive tonal options to sculpt your sound to perfection. To begin with, utilise extensive amp modelling to suit your preference which will form your tonal foundation. From here, choose your effect chain with a whole host of effects to choose from and link in any given order. Also available are a 2-hour looper and integrated drum machine meaning this single unit gives you all the tools to create full compositions. The options are endless.

Cutting-edge effects

Taking things up a notch, Zoom meticulously designed a range of pioneering new effects. 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 G6 is nothing if not versatile. The G6 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 G6 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 G6 to the Handy Guitar Lab app via Bluetooth for wireless access. Whatever your connection preference, the G6 will be able to handle it.
