Zoom G1X Four Guitar Multi-effect

Zoom G1X Four Multi Effect-Pedal — Compact Floor Unit with Expression Control

The Zoom G1X Four Multi Effect-Pedal combines amp modelling, effects, a drum machine and a looper in one compact floor unit. Over 70 effects and amp models come standard, and the built-in expression pedal allows real-time control of volume, wah, delay and pitch, making it easy for players to travel light without bringing a pedalboard and amp to every rehearsal or gig.

Expression Pedal, Drum Patterns and Patch Backup

Integrated expression pedal functionality sets the G1X Four apart from the G1 Four, enabling assignment to compatible effect parameters for expressive live swells and wah sweeps. Along with 68 rhythm patterns in multiple time signatures and a 30-second looper, Auto Patch Backup instantly stores edited patches and level settings when the unit powers down.

Effects Library and Amp Emulations

This model features over 60 traditional and boutique effects alongside 13 classic amp and cabinet models inspired by Fender, Marshall, Orange and other famous names. With Zoom Guitar Lab software, users can access a downloadable effects library and manage patches from a connected computer.

• Effect Count: 70+ effects and amp models — everything from drive and modulation to reverb and unique textures is available in one place
• Amp Models: 13 classic amps and cabinets — replicate the iconic tones of Fender, Marshall, Orange and more
• Zoom Guitar Lab offers patch management, backup and access to even more downloadable effects for further creative flexibility.

Live Performance Modes and Expression Control

With PRESELECT mode, the next patch can be queued without disrupting the current sound. In STOMP mode, players can activate or bypass effects individually using the foot switches, turning the G1X Four into a flexible stomp-style board.

• Controls: FS, Expression, Knob — foot switches plus a knob for hands-on editing
• Performance Modes: PRESELECT and STOMP — live switching between patches or individual effects
• Assign the expression pedal to volume, wah, delay mix, pitch or other compatible parameters for creative control while performing.
