Tons of Effects and Ready to Record!

Why settle for a handful of stompboxes when you can get a pedal full of them — plus a recording interface — for the same amount of money? The Zoom G2.1Nu is the answer for guitarists who want to get the most value possible. It's also an amazing buy for the new guitarist looking to try out distortion tones, wah effects, and more. And with the Zoom G2.1Nu, you can get nearly all the sounds you hear on the radio. That's because a "collector's edition" of 83 different guitar effects is inside — the same effects all your heroes use. And speaking of heroes, you can try out 20 amazing presets created by none other than guitar legend Steve Vai!

To get you started on your practicing and performing adventures, the Zoom G2.1Nu features 100 presets in all. And you can save up to 100 more right on the pedal. Use the Edit & Share software (available via a free download) to create, edit, and save your own effects settings — and even trade favorite settings with other Zoom G2.1Nu users all over the world.

Ready to record your new ideas? The all-in-one Zoom G2.1Nu works as an audio interface, so recording is a snap. Connect a USB cable between your computer and the G2.1Nu, and you're ready to record into all of your favorite software programs, at up to better-than-CD quality! In fact, Cubase LE 4 recording software comes included, so you can immediately start capturing your creations on your Mac or PC.

What else is inside the Zoom G2.1Nu? There's an easy-to-use tuner with a bright display for onstage use. There's even a built-in expression pedal, so you can use the wah effect or control volume with expression. And if you want, you can connect an optional footswitch to take control of the amazing built-in looper feature. Whatever you do, you're bound to have a great time practicing, recording, and performing with the Zoom G2.1Nu!

Buy this!!!

by Alvie from San Francisco, Ca. USA
January 24, 2013
Music Background: Active musician
Like I said in the title: Buy this, buy this, buy this!!! Honestly, I had never heard of Zoom before, I seriously missed out. If you play metal, punk, blues, garage rock, whatever, this thing covers t... read more [+]hem all beautifully. The quality and richness of the tones is amazing.

As far as ease of use, I really don't know how they could have made this any simpler, short of having it read your mind. Where's the fun in that anyway, when there's so much to play with here? It's also built really sturdy with a metal and hard rubber chassis. It's great for recording, and if you're the type that doesn't switch between more than three patches in a song (like me, I keep it simple), this is perfect for live performances as well.
For the price, this thing is worth every penny! BUY IT!!! close [-]

Very Impressed!!

by Chris Robbert from St. Thomas Virgin Islands

Music Background: Pro musician and recording enthusiast
I've been a professional guitarist my whole life, and have had a ton of different preamps, processors, etc. I recently decided to give up on hauling
around my rack to gigs, and "go to the dark ... read more [+]side"; a modeler with effects, in a floor pedal. Thus, I did my on-lone research, as I live in the Virgin Islands, and you can't just run out to the local music store and try stuff.
I kept seeing rave reviews about the Zoom products, especially in comparison to the other, more established (you know who) amp modeling units out there. I figured I'd give it a shot, and ordered one. It's a very solid, organic sounding, easy to use pedal, and is a breeze to get the hang of. Ingenious of Zoom to condense both amp and effects parameters down to three- knob modules. In spite of that, it still seems possible to conjure nearly any tone imaginable.
To be clear; the big deal with modeling is the beefiness of the processor used, and the 32 bit chip, and high grade converters used here make a huge difference, both in the harmonic content of the amp models, and in the transparency of the various effects. I even got rid of my rack for solo acoustic guitar performing, as I was able to come up with a preset that equaled, or excelled what I was getting. The extra expression pedal input is a great plus, and it really is akin to having a whole pedalboard compressed into one pedal. The PC editor is great, and makes tone-surfing and saving sounds an enjoyable experience. All that for $200.00? I'm satisfied! close [-]

Great effects

by Mike from Missouri

Music Background: 20 year veteran
This pedal is easy to use and sounds awesome. I had been using an old DT GNX3 and a tone port for PC recording, and this thing blows them away. Tweaking the effects is done by just turning some knobs... read more [+] rather than cycling through menus like other units. Best unit for the money. I find myself playing more than usual just because of how good it sounds. close [-]

The new Zoom G2.1Nu is a great multi effect pedal! Its got 96Khz sampling and is the only effect unit that has 96Khz sampling! USB connectivity, user friendly software interface, and comes with Cubase... read more [+] LE. I tried this unit with other DAWs and it worked perfectly with the drivers provided. Another cool plus is that Zoom provides a power supply! Drum machine is cool for jamming or for recording into a DAW. Bottom line a very cool unit with a very IMAX sound - try one and be amazed! close [-]

I am very happy with the product and service I received. I have yet to experience such personalized service from audio/music companies in my hometown. I will certainly make more purchases from Sweetwater again. If you have the product I need, I will purchase it from Sweetwater. The service is exceptional. I have never been treated with such thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly service from any of the music companies located in Saint Louis, MO.
