Too hot for me, being that I'm a classic blues player, but these all sound great on their own, and easily pass as studio quality stuff. Fantastic video and thank you again for the hard work.
*This is the best overview so far and GD do I want one! lol* On the right amp it's going to literally serve as 200 different amplifiers. I have some wicked pedal sensitive amps that this will do that on. Unfortunately, the big gaping hole it leaves for a wideband EQ and reverb makes it a highly sought after outcast.
@@filtermat Overall, it is a very flexible pedal because it has so many different styles, which can be good and bad. Almost option paralysis because there are so many choices. I was hoping it was going to have lot of versions of famous pedals but I think the majority are just a lot of variations on Zoom’s take on Boost, Overdrives, Distortions and Fuzzes. I was thinking of getting rid of it, but it can be so useful for a pedalboard I decided to keep it. It takes up one pedal slot, but has so many tonal variations, super useful in my book. I like the fact that you can stack two pedals in a preset but I don’t understand the artificial limitation of just two, unless the skimped on the DSP. The MS-50G+ can has 6 pedals in a chain. I would think opening that limitation up could be really useful, so for example in a patch you could have a noise suppressor, an overdrive, a distortion and an EQ. Overall, a great versatile and flexible pedal at a decent price.
@ I prefer using multifx units like Me-90, Ampero Mini or Pod Go, but I don’t like the drives of these units (except for some of Me-90) What about sound quality of the Zoom? I prefer to use something with presets rather than standard drives with knobs.. that’s why I’m considering Zoom
@ as a matter of fact, I was just playing the MS-200+ and I would say the various presets/pedals sound very good. I like using multifx units too, but to be fair, I like trying a little bit of everything, but it is nice having presets.
It's all about eq-ing. Most famous pedals just have a very fine-tuned eq-ing. The actual differences in saturation types are minimal beyond soft and hard clipping and whatever fuzzes are (I forgot), it's just gain staging and eq-ing. You could get two 31 band in rack format for sixty bucks each and suddenly this pedal would become the best thing on earth. Sadly it'd be a bit cumbersome.

thank you, VERY good and informative contribution from your part!

What do you think about the pedal? I like your demos, just want to know your opinion for live use

why zoom g2 four distortion sounds so different?
You get what you pay for.
