Zoom G1u

30 types of authentic drive tones

The sound modeling technology developed for our ZFX Plug-in came in handy when redesigning drive sounds for the G1u. Parameters such as gain setting range and harmonics component characteristics were fine-tuned to convincingly recreate 20 types of guitar amps and stomp boxes. And there are 10 original drive types settings as well, producing quality sound and dynamic presence.

USB Means you can record directly to your computer

Simply hooking up the G1u to a computer with a USB cable turns it into an audio interface. Our direct monitoring design eliminates any latency problems, allowing the real amp sound to carry through into the recording. Now you can get your own tone no matter where you are.Whether you're practicing, performing or recording, the G1u has endless tone possibilities for any style of playing.

• Dozens of tube amps at your feet - Our authentic sounding models of classic tube amplifiers are made possible by our highresolution signal processing with 24-bit A/D/A conversion and 96 kHz sampling. This technology captures ultra high-range harmonics that dramatically impact the authenticity of the model.

• Looping function records 5-second phrases - Record/playback/overdub guitar phrases with the looping function that can be controlled with the foot switches. This “sound-on-sound” feature lets you lay down phrases in real time, and during a live performance, you can use the looping sound as a backing track.
• Integrated drum machine with PCM sound sources - Choose from 40 different rhythm patterns including 8-beat and 16-beat as well as 4-beat, shuffle and many other variations. The tap key makes it easy to directly input the tempo. Start a jam session anytime, anywhere.
• Optional remote operation accessories - Connect the foot switch (FS01) to quickly change banks or specify the tempo for the drum machine by tapping your foot. Alternatively, you can use the expression pedal (FP02)and vary parameters such as wah, pitch shift, and volume with your foot.
• Runs on batteries, AC adaptor, or USB bus power - The G1u supports three different power sources: AC adaptor, batteries, and USB bus power. Four AA/LR6 alkaline batteries are good for 10 hours of continuous use. Whether inthe studio or on stage, the G1u has all the power options you need.
