«  Super! When it works: ( »

Published on 02/18/14 at 08:15
see manufacturer's website. Caracs identical to g3, with an expression pedal and about 200 grams more.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is childish at first. Same pure editing sounds. Everything is pure fact that we have the impression of having a pedal board underfoot, the son in less ;) Secondly, as with all multi-effects, it takes time to refine his sound.

The compactness of the material has the defect that is often based on a lot of buttons to access the desired page. It must be set up at home to hopefully make rpeter or the live, without the fuss.

Contrary to what I read elsewhere, I had a manual in French, very well done.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are bluffing. Special mentions to reverbs and delays in large numbers. I was a little afraid of amp simulations and HP, and distos. Well it's really not bad. The simulations are typed, pretty versatile, with respect for the instrument and play

I use a godin freeway classic and electro-acoustics.

Some effest a little gadget but much less than before in zoom. The choice of giving a wide range of simus, distos and common effects is very good.

I have not tested the output to the console, right on headphones and amp. I will soon because it is partly why I bought it (tired of lugging my amp for réepts). I tell you later if you can do without an ID and if the sound captures live console.

OVERALL OPINION

I just got it today. Just unwrapped 3:00 This game is all we ask a corny like this: have the sound you want, have fun to play, find new ideas with sounds that we would not used.

Yes I had a boss, the Korg, Zoom. By far this is the best in simulations, especially for distorted sounds. It is also the most compact and far. Finally, it is the only one I had that offers its functional map.

A very big plus for me: the sound card works without any problems, it is standard USB compliant, so no need special drivers, and is recognized under linux pronto. Congratulations to zoom it.

BUT! Big big downside, which I hope will work out quickly: just out of the box, and displays a hatch, and the use of knobs causes simply stopping the machine .

It is therefore too early to know if I do it again this choice. In theory yes, but I asked to see the next model I'll have to exchange it, and how long it will last. I raise my grade in that time.

In smaller less, running the pedal, and the looper a little cheap.

The +:
- The case is nice and sturdy, the buttons and solid pedal.
- Effects of excellent quality, and many
- Built-in Looper
- Tuner
- Menus and functions very well thought
- Integrated sound card that works under linux
- Direct input output

Cons:
- Pedal stroke tiny effect
- Electronic perhaps doubtful, and anxiety about life (check)
- Basic looper without storing loops
