" ... Not to mention all the great-sounding, highly-editable effects on this thing! ... I think I'll see if I can route the effects of this into a dedicated stereo looper I have :-) (Edit: I've recorded a couple of demo songs since writing the original review and the sound quality of this pedal makes my guitar sound awesome, particularly with ambient style sounds. ...

" ... I have lots of fun playing with the Zoom G1Xon pedal. ... "
" ... Zoom gives away the store for $70. ... "
" ... The only regret I have about this pedal is not spending the money for Zoom's higher tier models so that I can run multiple looping schemes and enjoy more of their well designed products! ... "
" ... Zoom and Amazon shipped my order very quickly. ... "
" ... I am somewhat of a novice guitar player, I purchased the Zoom G1Xon because it offered an array of effects, an array of amps, a tuner, a 30 second looper, and a programmable rhythm section. ... I am very happy at all the versatility that the Zoom gives me. ... "
" ... I received the ZOOM G1XON effects pedal around noon today and have been giving it a thorough test drive since. ... "
" ... I just received my Zoom G1Xon a few days ago. ... The Zoom provides me an incredible number of "voices" as presets, with the ability to adjust as needed. ... The Zoom has been so good, that I am going to spend the time going back and reworking many of the songs trying out various Zoom effects as V-tracks. ... With regard to the Zoom generally, I would say it all depends on individual expectations, performance requirements, personal budget and so on. ... "

" ... Good quality effects with chain control. ... "
" ... Its easy to control the volume of the sound as well using the pedal. ... "
" ... Since you are able to control the volume of the music separately from the volume on your guitar, you can match up the volumes so the music is at the exact level as your guitar and instantly become part of the band. ... The great thing about this is you can play along to the song and clearly hear any parts you messed up, rewind the song to the part you missed, and then practice it again until you're happy with how it sounds. ... "
" ... The fact that you can assign the Expression Pedal to control different parameters (only one per preset) allows for some really neat options for funky sound. ... (The Tuner is accessed by pressing both pedals simultaneously - this works well enough for me, but if you wanted to use the Tuner to mute you lose your Bypass mode.) ... "
" ... Well, with as few controls and display as you have - you're going to have to compromise. ... "
" ... Lots of effects and controls for not a lot of ... "
" ... Looper function is easily accessible, and the tuning function is super nice. ... "
" ... Pros - the tones are good, the controls are easy, the manuals are helpful, it is small, battery operated and the drums/metronome are awesome for working on your playing technique. ... "
