Zoom G1 FOUR: Compact Multi-Effects Processor for Every Guitarist
The Zoom G1 FOUR is a powerhouse in a small package — a multi-effects processor designed to help guitarists unlock their creativity anywhere, anytime. Whether you’re practising at home, recording in the studio, or performing on stage, this pedal packs professional-level tones and flexibility into a compact, affordable design.
Expand Your Sound Universe
The G1 FOUR comes loaded with over 60 built-in effects, ranging from classic overdrives and distortions to rich modulations, delays, reverbs, and pitch shifters. It even includes more experimental options like ring modulators and sitar simulations, perfect for guitarists who love exploring new sounds.
With 13 realistic amp and cabinet emulations, you can instantly dial in tones that capture the essence of iconic amplifiers from brands like Fender, Marshall, and Orange. Whether you’re into clean blues tones, crunchy classic rock, or modern high-gain sounds, the G1 FOUR delivers with precision and clarity.
Even better, you can use up to 5 effects simultaneously, chaining them in any order to create unique soundscapes that fit your style.
Practice Smarter with Looper and Rhythm Features
One of the most impressive features of the Zoom G1 FOUR is its built-in looper, capable of recording up to 30 seconds (64 beats) of high-quality audio. This allows you to record riffs, layer melodies, or practice solos over your own backing track.
Complementing the looper are 68 built-in rhythm patterns in various genres and time signatures, letting you jam along like you’re playing with a live drummer. It’s the perfect companion for practice sessions or songwriting ideas on the go.
Simple Interface, Powerful Control
The G1 FOUR features an intuitive layout with a bright 128×32 LCD screen, making navigation effortless even on dimly lit stages. Its compact design fits easily into any setup, yet offers deep editing capabilities for shaping your tone.
You can store up to 50 user-created patches and instantly recall them during performance. Thanks to the Auto Save feature, any adjustments you make are saved automatically — no need to worry about losing your sound settings.
The pedal also includes PRESELECT and STOMP modes for performance flexibility:
PRESELECT Mode lets you scroll through patches silently while performing.
STOMP Mode works like a traditional pedalboard, allowing you to switch individual effects on or off on the fly.
A built-in chromatic tuner supports standard, open, and drop tunings, ensuring you stay perfectly in tune during every session.
Connect and Customize Your Sound
With USB connectivity, the G1 FOUR integrates seamlessly with Zoom Guitar Lab software, where you can download new effects, edit patches, and manage your presets easily. It also features an aux input, allowing you to plug in your phone or music player and jam along with your favourite tracks.
The output jack can connect to amps, PA systems, or headphones, making it ideal for home practice or live performances.
Powering the unit is flexible too — it runs on four AA batteries, an AC adapter, or USB power, giving you total freedom to use it anywhere.
