- This should get you up and running in under 20 minutes.
Everything shown should apply to the G3Xn as well.
The video below shows a workaround to using the looper and a pedal

The people who wrote the ZOOM user's manual should take lessons from you. Well done.
Gotta tell you. I have an old Zoom product (PS02) and trust when I say that they couldn't write manuals clearly 2 decades ago and still can't now😄
I didn't get a manual with it
My god, this was very helpful. You, sir, are a godsend. I was having my doubts about buying this pedal because of all the people crying about how complicated it is to use. But now after seeing this video, I'll be picking one up.
Glad to hear it helped you. Thanks for the comment. I use mine everyday and am really enjoying it.
Just picked one of the G3Xn pedals up used from Guitar Center. The manual that I downloaded from Zoom really was not very good, and a bit confusing. This video made using this pedal much much easier. To anybody that picks one of these petals up used, I highly recommend that the first thing you do is a factory reset. This will reset the petal to the way it would be if you had purchased it brand new. Thanks for this video it really was a huge help.
Glad it helped.
Thank you - so many of the videos on any piece of equipment are about geeking out on all of the cool sounds, but not always on the actual function. Very helpful!
ZOOM owes you money cause you just sold this ! BEST equipment review I've seen so far , Thank You Bike !
My pleasure!
A big thank you. Had this pedal for a few months and couldn't figure out how to add effects, till I came across your video. Very grateful
I love mine so far, just got it yesterday, started messing with programming last night. This things is amazing!
Great instructional video. I have one of these coming in 3 or 4 days - having used a Zoom G3 and G3X (no n) for the last few years. I'll be referring back to this video till I get the hang of it. Thanks so much!!
I’ve used it now for several gigs, easy Peezy. And sounds great. Wish the up and down switches were a little wider, but angling the pedal I haven’t had too much of a problem.
Best tutorial I’ve found and I’ve been browsing for a long time. Thank you so much for the simplicity.
Just bought one and this very clear session has helped enormously. Love your presentation skills.
Glad to hear it!
Thanks for this clear and straightforward tutorial. I was able to understand this unit quickly because of this video. Excellent!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. My G3 is encountering some sudden “technical difficulties” and you made the difference in me being able to use my new G3N at this weekend’s gig vs. having to Jerry-rig a couple of separate effects pedals together. VERY much appreciated!
Thanks for the feedback, glad to hear that it helps
Great intro to the G3n, very helpful! Thank you for taking the time to make this! 🙏
I just ordered this pedal because i read some good stuff on it but dude you literally showed me so much ! Thanks appreciate it brother can’t wait to use it !
Good luck 👍
VERY USEFUL VIDEO - THANKS ! JUST BOUGHT THE G3Xn AND FOUND THIS VIDEO EASIER TO FOLLOW THAN THE MICROPRINT IN THE MANUAL ! ! ! THANKS AGAIN !
Thank you VERY Much for this topic, I was about to throw it against the wall because the notice isn't very clear. THANK YOU!
PERFECT, just bought this one today, I'm ready to rock now
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you, this was very helpful. Will buy as soon as possible!
You are so good at this!! Exactly what one wants!
Thanks, glad it helps out.
@@fixitmyself it truly did! Never understood the stomp pedal.
I have one on the way, thanks for this very good video, very helpful and now I know what to expect when it arrives.
Thanks, glad to know its helping people.
Great. Everything explained very nice and easy to understand :) Great man and thanks!
Thank you very much. Your guide is simple, clear and complete. Now I have understood how can I use this device. The best explanation about this topic.

Awesome thanks for doing this!
Thank you! I watched your video couple times and you helped me so much.
Glad it helped. Thanks
Professional presentation probably one of the best demo recordings on Utube.
Thank you for this video. The instructions that came with the unit are useless. Your video helped a lot!!
The best tutorial I found.
👍👍👍
Great starter video- much thanks!
Thank u Sir. For this post. Very helpful. God bless. 😊
Thanks this has been incredibly helpful.
Thanks so much. This helped out a lot!
Thanks, learned a couple things!
Your video was very useful! Thank you very much!
You are so Amazing Sir ....
All doubts are clear....
Thank you so much sir 😇😇😇
You rock... Thanks for the easy to follow tutorial.
Thank you so much for this, very helpful.
Great tutorial! Got this the other day and was struggling to use it properly !
Nice that there's alternate tuning options.
nailed it man! thank you
Nice and clear video🤘
thank you for sharing cheers
Awesome! Thank you so much
EXCELLENT VIDEO !! I'm going to give you a thumbs up and browse your other videos. THANK YOU :)
Remember that if you put the rhythm at the start and add distortion, the rhythm is gonna get distorted, so put it near the end
I’ve been using this pedal now for 2 years live with my band. I cannot recommend this enough. It is so good and the amount of add on you can get by just plugging it into your computer is amazing!
You can't any higher recommendation than this!
Verry good
Thx a lot .
Thanks for sharing.. 👍
thanks, you help me a lot!
Glad it helped. Thanks for the feedback
Thank you this video
You're welcome, hope it helped get you up and running.
Thanks again n again
Thank you.
Very informative.. Can you show us how to use the looper and how it works with guitarlab... Zoom should pay you for this.
Super helpful
Thanks for the feedback. Glad it helped.
I have the older G3 also the MS50G. Was wondering if they still using the same chip on this one..the totally changed the interface with the extra 3 foot switches. The menu knob has too many function o think and the scratched out the XLR DI out. The looper is a bit longer as well so that’s a plus.
Well, you can layer the looper, you just can’t change the effects while the looper is active
cool video
This video should be in the manual. Thank you!
I really don't know why people say Zoom G3n/G3Xn is very difficult to use.! I have bought it hearing its massive sounds and it is so easy to use!
I have to agree with you that the tones this little thing comes with installed and is capable of are entirely reasonable. I recently learned an AC/DC tune with the instructor providing how to set up the amp for that true AC/DC sound and this unit got me close enough to smile! I am very happy with the purchase..
@@fixitmyself exactly.! If u update to the latest firmware version, u can get more patches and effects as well.. Those are just incredible! I've recently updated the firmware to 2.20. It's awesome!!
All i need
You can click the wheel button to show the settings of each patch when adjusting. It will stay like that unless you press it again.
The push to enter button to show the settings of each effects when adjusting
@@jirehguzman7319yes it works both in stomp mode and in patch mode
Hello..can i use any wah pedal or must be use wah pedal from zoom only to my G3N?
Great video. Thank you. 1st day of use after purchase and I'm actually creating my own patches many thanks to you. However I'm not sure how to create several fx in the one patch. ie, why did you go to the third unit/bank 78 to create and add a chorus to bank 77? .
I forget but I will rewatch the vid at some point and see if I can remember. This is a couple of years old.
@@fixitmyself thank you. İncidentally, have you ever used the usb function. Wondering if it possible. Particularly with smartphone just to record videos as its audio source.
I've not used the usb
10:43 yes it IS the output level of the patch is correct 😁
On the manual it says this processor has got 7 blocks to create a tone but i get just 3-4 blocks to create a tone.. please help.. 👍🏻😄
That was a very helpful video. Thank you so much. Couldn't have figured it out without the visuals. The user manual made a good 🔥 starter. It was not helpful at all.😔
I just received my zoom G3Xn and understand most except preselect function of on and off. Please help. Thanks for your time and video.
Are referring to turning effects on and off while you are in a patch?
Hey. Do you think it's worth to change my zoom G3X for this one. I'm only going to use the modulations. Effects. Like Phaser. Flanger.. Reverb. Delay etc. Through the loop effect of my tube amp. Cheers
Couldn't say. I don't know anything about the 3X.
I'm hung up between this and the mooer ge200... And i seriously cant make a descision... Can anyone help?
Tq so much bro. Your teaching is very useful. If you could teach me how to use it for recording. So do i need to fix it to amp right? Sorry I'm not so updated with these sorts of gadget. I Want to purchase a G3XN and in Malaysia it's rm1050.
You don't need an amp for recording. It's best to plug directly into a PC using an interface like a Scarlett. If your not sure how this works there are lots of TH-cam videos to help get you started.
@@fixitmyself Thank you so much. Usually I mic up my amp to record but now I understand that I can just plug in directly to the interface. This is truly helpful.
Fantastic thanks. It’s down to the G3Xn or a Boss GT1 for me. Any views on which has the better sounds?
Sorry, no experience with the Boss.
@@fixitmyself K tks.
You can set the parameters to always on/viewable by just pressing the edit button/nob located at the top beside the menu button while you're viewing/editing the patch. I don't mean that you have to do anything else. Just press the button. That's it. I know how annoying that was before I accidently figured that out.
Great tip, thank you!
Am I able to create 3 different presets, and access them via the switches? I mean, let's say I want a rythm tone set to the first button, a solo tone to the second, and a clean tone to the third. It would be really helpful in concerts.
Yes you can. Create your patches in a row ( like 76,77,78) and you could easily cycle through them.
I have a Zoom G3 and love the effects available but hate hunting and scrolling through all the convoluted screens. This machine is no improvement in that area. For that reason I prefer my old Boss ME-50. Everything I want is out in the open and easy to choose and adjust You don't need to watch a 20 minute video on how to operate it.
Hello sir, are you using a power conditioner or something? The unit I have seems to be extremely noisy. Even just adding the same fx that you did, I have much more Humm and static than you seemed to be having...?
Also, it claims you can use 7 fx in a chain at once, but I haven't been able to get more than 4 so far. By the time I add a amp and cab Sim, there only seems to be room for 1 or 2 more fx. Any ideas on what is happening?
No, I m not using a power conditioner, straight to outlet
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You should have the rhythm at the end of the chain that way its not effected by all the effects.
Can I save lots of Incubus Presets using this multifx? I'm planning to sell some of my Analog pedals and use this G3n for Reverb/Delay and Modulations. And does this have the effects on both MS70CDR and MS50G?
I've never tried presets but maybe someone will see this and respond. Have no experience with the pedals you list.
Спасибо большое! Хоть кто то по-русски объяснил как им пользоваться!
This unit is way too complicated, unlike the original G3 unit.
Thank you for your start up advice, the manual for this is awful. Your efforts are much appreciated !
Nice walk through. I have the G3xn. I don't think you turned on the Fender Amp that you added to your patch. - Just saw your comment at the end. :)
Thanks and yeah, that was silly of me, didn't realize until I was done and didn't want to redo the vid. I may still get the expression pedal. I am having problems with the addition icon disappearing from some of the patches and if I do return it to Amazon I may spend the extra $ and get the upgrade.
@@fixitmyself I haven't seen any issues with icons disappearing. Are you on the latest firmware? I see a new one came out at least for 3xn this month. version 2.1 or something like that. In some ways I wish I would gone with the 5xn for the extra stomps, and window. Not sure. I had major power issues at my last house. We just moved and I am finally able to play with and enjoy the 3xn. I have a 15 watt tube amp, so trying to see if I like any of the amp sims, or just use it as access to the effects I want.
Yes, I am updating the firmware now. I haven't noticed the "add" icon disappearing from any other patches. I imaging I will be keeping it, I have a lot of time invested in it now.
Sorry for the stupid question but here goes. I am using the metalworld effect and the rhythm but everytime i choose the metalworld effect it gives the distortion to the rhythm aswell but when i turn it off and goes clean again the rhythm sounds as it should. Please someone help!
Man I feel your pain!. I get the same thing. I still love it tho.i gonna buy a lil looper pedal just for this problem and just run it out of the ZOOM
The issue is that the rhythm is in front of the metalworld effect. Move it behind and it will clean up.
th-cam.com/video/jTJmDjTViIo/w-d-xo.html
Im disappointed. I cant get a decent sounding distortion out of this thing at all....
The signal is processed from left to right on the chain of pedals. The rhythm pedal should always be the last effect on the chain (far to the right).
Man, I don't know why they didn't just create a simple program for creating patches on your computer via USB. This would all be done in a fraction of the time.
Good idea
Which looper pedal do you use?
Boss RC3
th-cam.com/video/SH14SOUKijs/w-d-xo.html
can you plug this into a pa mixer and a guitar amp at the same time so the drums come out of the pa system so there clean
sorry man, I have no experience with a pa system
@@fixitmyself thanks for the reply.so you just plug your guitar into it then a cable out to amp right
Yes, I plug directly into the G3N and use the mono out to my amp. There are actually stereo outputs on the back but I have never used them.
the old zoom g3 looked more quality, no? i can only use 3 pedals per preset?
You can use up to 7 pedals (including amp/cab) at the same time, but since there are only 3 "screens", you have to scroll to access all of them
Thanks It's clear. Can you explain how to avoid the 1rst bar of tempo when you record a loop with a rythm pattern running? It's so anti musical!! 😡😡
I use a Boss looper
i have a problem ... i have a zoom g3n pedal, a tascam 102i sound card and a computer. The zoom g3n pedal with headphones sounds very nice without a pc, but if I plug the pedal into the tascam 102i sound card and through it into the computer, the sound quality deteriorates. The zoom g3n has 2 outputs due to the stereo that the headphones can operate through one output. However, the tascam 102i has only one input and I guess that's why it sounds bad with a computer. What I couldn’t figure out: There’s where it says that the zoom g3n pedal can be used as a sound card, but I don’t know how that would solve my problem. If not, how can I fix the pedal stereo sound through the tascam?
I don't know anything about the sound card thing. I've used mine a lot for song making (recording) and have to run it through an interface such as a Scarlett into my PC.
@@fixitmyself how you earned the stefeo quality? My tascam soundcard makes shit qualigy with 1 kabel...
The recording quality through an interface is excellent
Can you use two presets at once?
No, once you select one foot switch it cuts the other. Is that what you mean by presets? The foot switch(s) turns on and off various patches.
I am planing to get this but Does it has a shimmer effect?
I do believe there's a shimmer reverb in there. I have heard it in another demo.
@@joellebrodeur1015 it does. you can also share FX from other Zoom in same family. Not officially but can be done.
Tip: when you ad an amp you must add a cab right after it otherwise the amp sounds like crap.
Appreciate the input. Thanks
Icantdrive55 and turn on the mic if going straight to the pa and off if into the amp
What is cab
@@ruatdikac736 he is referring to speaker cabinets. The board comes with several cab effects which can be used in your patch
@@fixitmyself ohh okay..thankyou
i made a test patch like you did and it shows in the left unit 076 test and I want to delete it I cant delete it what im I doing wrong
I'm not sure. Go back over the steps maybe, what you see in the vid is real time stuff.
@@fixitmyself I just restored the factory settings and the 076 test patch is gone so I guess that works
@@fixitmyself I have another question.you know how to use a distortion pedal through a clean amp otherwise its too much distortion. well on the zoom when I use metal world stompbox with the marshall 1959 its too much distortion so how do I use the metalworld distortion stompbox and the marshall together is there a way to make the marshall clean?basically how do I use distortion with a amp sim
I haven't tried that particular setup but when I do make patches - or modify patches - I like to modify all the variables if you know what I mean. Each effect in the has a number of adjustable variables. I would try that and see if it helps.
Try Tonelib. Their software is quite intuitive. GuitarLab from Zoom - in effect (pardon the pun) you have to rename and delete off the FXs. You never really delete an patch - you just overwrite it. Try Tonelib - quite intuitive.
Can I stack other pedals to this?
I run this into my looper pedal, works fine.
@@fixitmyself how about drive pedals? I was thinking of stacking tube screamer (Ts9) to G3n's drives.
I don't see why you couldn't but unless I had experience with doing it, I wouldn't say yes or no. But there should be no reason why you couldn't daisy chain them like another pedal(s).
@@fixitmyself thank you very much. Your video has been very helpful.
Made from where.?
These are made in China
But good quality right? Because it designed by japan only manufacturer in china am i right?
@@fixitmyself im wodering if there is an made in japan by these an the quality of sou d are diferrent?
so far so good
not sure
Please! In Espanish🙌🙏
U sound like slash
But I can't play like him, so it doesn't count :)
Can you stock 2 delays on a patch? Thanks!
Interesting... I will have to try it.
Did you try it? Is it work?
@@traxadroxa9518 works on Zoom G1XFOUR so likely it would work on this pedal.
Zoom writers were smoking weed.
The way this unit is set up is Horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How did this design and user interface get a green light?!
Though it is one of the most budget friendly guitar multi effect processor.Dont buy g3xn" guys instead go for g3n".After using g3xn for a year the inbuilt expression pedal has started having problems. Using the "wah " effect and the" pitch shifter" has become a nightmare. Have tried calibrating the pedal and also resetting the unit but still these effects sound like a "slicer effect with fluctuating repetition of the wah" even though the pedal is only pressed once. Have also contacted the support team hope they respond to my mail. I have been using the unit only indoors for personal use and the chances of getting the unit pedal dirty is out of the question. Will be posting a video concerning the problem on my channel..starting to regret choosing "g3xn over "boss me25
