Acoustic Guitar Effects with USB Interface and Pro Specs

The G Series effects pedals are the most powerful Zoom has introduced to date. All are based on an all-new ZFX-3 processor: 32-bit Processing, 96kHz sampling, 24-bit A/D, D/A converters.

Like its little brother, the Zoom A2, the Zoom A2.1u comes with seven effects modules with 45 effects types, an ultra-wide frequency response of 20Hz-40kHz (which is 20kHz wider than some pro-quality recording studio preamps), a built-in drum machine with 40 rhythm patterns, an integrated chromatic tuner. Along with all of this, the A2.1u adds an expression pedal to get the most out of your Zoom-tones, and when you're ready to record, the Zoom A2.1u incorporates a USB interface, and includes Cubase LE software! What makes it really cool, is that you can record to DAW with zero latency, which is incredibly important for guitar players. Did we mention that you get all this and world-famous Zoom-tone at a price that'll make you look Twice?

  • Acoustic guitar modeling

Zoom has come a long way...

by Rob C. from Murfreesboro, TN

Music Background: semi-pro musician, live sound
Zoom's processor technology has come a long way since the early days of the 505 series.
The A2.1u is probably one of the best acoustic processors right out of the box-- period. The ability to ... read more [+]mix/blend the processed sound with the guitar's original signal sound allows for a huge palette of tones in a live scenario; and allows you to use a fully processed tone, the naked original signal, or any combination in between. And Zoom actually got it right on the pre-set sounds on this one-- there are dozens of usable sounds readily available the first time you plug it in. Also, the built-in D/I XLR-out is a great addition and allows you to run straight to the PA board. Highly recommended for live acoustic work. close [-]

I Like It!!!

Music Background: recording engineer, pro musician, songwriter
I used a POD X3 Live for awhile to add effects to my Variax acoustic and Alvarez acoustic (with B-Band electronics). It worked well, but was really overkill for what I needed for live performance. And... read more [+], it was big 'n' heavy. I wanted something smaller, something that would retain a natural acoustic sound, occasionally spiced up with tremelo, reverb, chorus. I also needed the ability to switch quickly between sounds, and to have a volume pedal. The Zoom turned out to be perfect for my needs. It is easy to program presets, it is small and compact, and it is seems to be very reliable and sturdy. The built in tuner works great and is easy to read. You can configure the pedal to control effects. I like it!!!!! Plus.....it is candy apple green! close [-]

Great Sound

Just "plug N Play" with great presets included to get you started. Bring it anywhere without worrying of power source. Put in the batteries into this little green monster and you're ready to go.

Great Value

I just got it today and can't believe what I got. The tuner and the XLR out almost pay for it. I can use some of the presets right out of the box until I learn how to make my own.

I can... read more [+] also use the unbalance out as a monitor when I'm using the XLR. Now I will be able to hear myself on stage. (The acoustic guitar always gets buried in the wedge mix).

So far I'm really happy close [-]

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
