| I purchased the Zoom G3 to use mainly for rehearsals and possibly for gigs depending on the tones.
I had previously tried to use several Zoom multi-effect units with not much satisfaction.
However, this one seems to be a very solid unit with convincing amp/pedal modelling tones.
It can be used in front of the amp (like 3 pedals going into the amp), in the fx loop (like 3 pedals in the loop), and as a separate preamp/effect unit into the power amp or direct.
Due to the lack of an effect loop, the usual 4 cable method used for Boss GT series can't be applied here.
But I must say that I am quite happy with the tones I get by going into the power amp section of a tube combo amp. It gives me the much needed flexibility in a small package.
Lastly, I must say that the modelling sounds much better than the Boss GT-8 or GT-10. And for the price, this unit is definitely a worthwhile investment. Posted by Jeremy on Apr 17, 2012 | |||
