Good enough for a musically challenged guitarist

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2023

Style: G3XnPattern Name: ProcessorVerified Purchase

I will never be any great shakes on guitar but I at least wanted better effects out of my Champion 40 amp than it provides so looked into MFX pedals. I started with the two cheapest but recommended ones but they were not so great. Although this one is twice as expensive as the previous most expensive one I had I never would have bought those two if I knew how much better this one is. Compared to the Flamma FX100 I just replaced the sound quality and effects are far better and it is also much more ruggedly built and easy to change settings on. There are 75 preset channels and 75 open with the presets more thoughtfully chosen. Learning to program the open channels will take effort, especially with the huge number of effects but it does not take too long to get the rudiments. I have not tried using the software yet but one step at a time.

I'll be honest and say that when I was first playing around with it it seemed ery confusing and convoluted. The instruction book didn't help me much but after going on YouTube and watching other owners program Patches, switch Banks, change parameters etc. I got the hang of it and it's actually a lot simpler than I imagined. The effects alone are OUTSTANDING- way above what I expected. Very happy I gave this a chance. I have yet to cycle through the Cabinet choices and I'm just playing through a clean Line6 amp but I may update after I do test them.

Deep Thought

Just... Too... Complicated

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2022

Style: G3XnPattern Name: ProcessorVerified Purchase

I am a bedroom guitarist. I'm not going on stage or tour... I'm not going to my local coffeehouse to jam... I am just playing for myself and wanted some good sound.

The processor/pedal is great! The sounds are amazing and you can do a lot. The issue is... it's really complicated. Not being a professional musician or sound specialist, I struggled. A lot. It's just overkill for what I wanted and made it so difficult getting the sound I wanted to get to... it just wasn't worth it. Just understanding how the entire thing worked took a lot of time and all my brain power. In the end I mostly just circled through their pre-set sounds... and even that wasn't easy since it's not really what they intend for you to do with this thing.

I swapped it out for a Boss GT-1 which is a bit less flexible but way easier to operate, and couldn't be happier.

Pros
- Super high quality. This thing is solid... the parts move/work really well. You won't be disappointed in the build.
- Very flexible... there's almost nothing you cannot do with this thing if you have the time, know how, and put your mind to it.
- Feels like it's for a much higher quality musician than I am

Cons
- Just too complicated for an amateur. While the price point was good... too good thinking about it... the result was a product that I just wasn't prepared to master.

First 2-Hour Impression + 2-Weeks Later

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2021

Style: G3XnPattern Name: ProcessorVerified Purchase

So after a lot of research, I bought this unit and this is what I have found so far in the first 2-hours of using it.

1. It is certainly sturdily built.
2. Connecting it to my laptop was easy, it does take a while for the information to load from the unit.
3. The firmware was already up-to-date, which is a rare out-of-the-box experience these days.
4. Downloading the new AMP, Cab, and effects software t the G3Xn was very easy.
5. As others have stated most of the pre-installed patches are not really so usable in the real world, but they do serve to show what can be done.
6. Overall the modeled sounds seem very good so far.
7. There is a more than moderate learning curve for programming your own chains of Amps, Cabs, and effects on the Zoom unit itself. Frankly, this is mostly due to the manual being useless for any guidance with this. Most of the YouTube demos are also not good for helping you with this.
8. Once I had successfully programmed my default preferred AMP+Cab+Reverb+Effects the unit performed very well and bank/patch scrolling vs stomp mode is very easy.

So, overall a great start marred only by the very poor manual and YouTube demos for programming.

I will update my review once I have spent a few weeks with the Zoom G3Xn.

OK, so now after a couple of weeks: The more I play with the Zoom G3Xn the more impressed I am. Programming on the unit itself is still a pain, but once you plug it into your laptop and use the Zoom Guitar Lab app it becomes so very much easier. Spend the time to load and learn the Zoom Guitar Lab application on your laptop.

I am upgrading this to 5-stars.

First, and foremost, kudos to Amazon. I've never had an issue with them. If anything came ip, it was dealt with to my satisfaction. Also, it's a blessing they've added payment plans.

Now, to the item. I've been using Zoom products for some time now, and they've always put out, in my opinion, great products at affordable prices. This item is no different.

I have 2 other multi-effect units from Zoom, and I love the sound quality. Many people have mentioned that Zoom effects are for beginners. I couldn't agree less. It always depends on the musician. Anyway, part of what I ove about this unit is the fact that Zoom has gotten rid of the digital hiss that is inherent in digital amps and effects. I've tried other, more expensive, brands, and that bloody hiss is there. Not so with Zoom. I tried this unit with my valve AND solid state amps, and this pedal is fantastic with all of them.

The only thing is that there IS a bit of a learning curve with this unit. I feel that when I can use it like muscle memory, I'll be able to build and program a super computer. That being said, the sound and build quality more than make up for the technical frustrations. I can't wait to use it in a live setting.

Reviewed in India on November 7, 2022

Style: G3XnPattern Name: ProcessorVerified Purchase

Its a wonderful and versatile product especially for gigs be it small or a big one....Its designed to go live...Even good for studio work...Amps and cab simulations are quite organic... Its a bit complex unit but spending a week understanding it then you would be able to create wonders with the tones...learn to tweak well and it will respond wonderfully... Do not get enticed with the current trend of IRs (Impulse Response)...G3XN is a beast when you perform live on PA or in studio... Just go for it...
Its ZNR noise reduction effect is simply awesome and unbeatable....

La pedalera tiene muchos efectos, en los cuales puedes encontrar unos que tienen un excelente sonido. En cuanto a la interfaz, es muy amigable y te dan ganas de editar tus propios bancos de pedales por lo fácil que es usar.
Es pequeña por lo que es excelente para viajar con ella.
No encuentro ningún punto negativo sobre esta pedalera, definitivamente es una buena inversión si buscas adentrarte a las pedaleras multi efectos.
