World's fastest patch change speed: 5 ms

Thanks to the speed of Zooms new processors, that annoying interval when
switching patches has been all but eliminated. With its amazing speed of
0.005 seconds, the G Series pedals never miss a beat. When changing from
rhythm to lead, you no longer need to press the switch slightly in advance.
Simply push the foot switch and start playing the solo phrase. No more fear
of losing the rhythm when making patch changes.

Built-in auto-chromatic tuner for guitar

The guitar tuner can be called up instantly by pushing two foot switches
together. High-brightness LED indicators make the note readout easy to see
also on a dark stage. The calibration range is 435 to 445 Hz, and mute tuning
without sound output is also possible.

ZNR makes those playing pauses silent

Zoom Noise Reduction (ZNR) was developed specifically for guitar. While
keeping any alteration of the original sound to an absolute minimum, ZNR
shuts out unwanted noise in the playing pauses. Even the tails of long sustain
notes come out beautifully, with natural release. Additional flexibility is
provided by two noise gates. The vintage type DIRTY GATE is a great match
for fuzz sounds, while the high-speed muting of the GATE setting brings
heavy riffs into clear focus.

Integrated drum machine with PCM sound sources

Realistic drum sounds derived from PCM sources are arranged in a variety of
rhythm patterns for different musical genres. The 40 rhythm variations
include the steady 8-beat of Rock and Pop, funky 16-beat, a "Jazzy" 4-beat,
some great shuffle riffs for blues sessions, and many more choices. Rhythm
training is a cinch, and the rotary knobs let you quickly make tempo or level
adjustments.

G2 & G2.1u: Taking multi-effects to the next level

Ultra low noise design: 120dB SN ratio and -100dB noise floor

Conventional floor-type multi-effect processors are designed to sound good

when they are plugged into a guitar amp. Modeling processors are designed
for recording in line. Until now, there was no product that could handle
both scenarios with equal finesse.
Introducing The G Series from Zoom. Each G Series Pedal offers two
algorithms: One for live and one for recording. The sound you created at
practice or in the studio can now be brought straight to the stage. Or take
the sounds you worked out during a rehearsal and apply them seamlessly
in the recording studio. Your creative scope has suddenly doubled.

Specifications such as a signal-to-noise ratio of 120dB and noise floor of 100dB demonstrate a level of performance that is unsurpassed in this class.
Background noise is a thing of the past, leaving the unit free to produce
only its own superbly transparent sound. Especially when using reverb effects
such as Hall, Room, or Spring, the low noise floor combined with 96kHz
sampling and 32-bit processing results in breathtaking performance.

Sampling Frequency

Latest modeling technology supports 16 different drive sounds

Everyone knows that the sound of

tube amplifiers is the ultimate in
guitar tone. By employing highaccuracy sampling at 96kHz, G Series
pedals faithfully model these sonic
properties, right up to the highest
harmonic register. Dynamic range is
also excellent, thanks to 24-bit A/D/A
conversion. These extremely high
levels of digital processing also make
your playing sound cleaner and clearer thanks to the fast processing speeds.

By digitally simulating the clipping action of analog devices such as tubes

and diodes, the G Series faithfully duplicates the distortion of tube amps
and vintage effects. This includes not only the superficial sound character
but also elements such as depth and dynamics. As you start using the G
Series, you will be amazed by the realistic balance between fundamental
notes and harmonics that is essential to a great analog tone.

Thanks to its circuit design optimized for low voltage operation, the unit
will run for more than 7.5 hours on a set of four IEC R6 (size AA) batteries. A
separately available AC adaptor (AC-0006) can be plugged in for extended
studio work, whereas on stage you never need to worry about AC power.

Optional foot switch allows versatile remote operation

With an optional foot switch (FS01) you can set tempos for delay time and
modulation rate. Other selectable functions include bank switching, drum
machine start/stop, and delay hold on/off switching.

Preset patches ready to use for recording or live performance

The three rotary knobs let you tailor three different parameters at the
same time. This could be the equalizer bass / midrange / treble, or the
chorus depth / rate / mixing level, or the delay time / feedback / mixing
level. It's like having an array of stomp boxes ready for action. In play
mode, the three knobs are assigned to drive effect gain, tone, and patch
level. This lets you quickly match the unit's performance to the guitar or
amp type, room acoustics, or other factors. Delay time and modulation
rate settings can be made directly via the intuitive TAP key input.

The unit comes preprogrammed with a total of 40 preset effects patches.

20 pairs of similar sounding and similarly named effects are optimized
respectively for use with a guitar amp on stage or for recording with DAW
software or a mixer. There are settings for duplicating well-known amps
and stomp boxes, settings that are modeled on the signature sound of
famous guitarists, as well as totally original Zoom creations. There is also
enough built-in memory to store up to 40 of your own effects patches.

The USB port allows the unit to function as an audio interface for a computer.
Simply connect a USB cable to utilize the high-quality sound of the G2.1u
in a computer-based recording system.
The high-performance DAW application
"Cubase LE" comes bundled with the unit,
so you can start creating sophisticated
music straight away. Because playback
from the DAW application can be
monitored at the G2.1u itself, there are
no latency problems during recording.
Powering the unit from the computer via
the USB bus is also supported.
