Zoom Releases the G1u: Guitar Effects Pedal and USB Audio Interface

Building on the success of their immensely popular G1 effects pedal, Zoom has taken functionality and tone to the next level with the new G1u. Designed to offer more than your typical effects pedal, the G1u is also a USB audio interface, allowing you to record your favorite tones right to your computer. For practicing, performing or recording, the G1u has endless possibilities for any style of playing. The G1u provides eight modules for a collection of 67 different effects, along with a harmonized pitch shifter and long delay settings. There's also 100 pre-programmed patches that model legendary sounds from the sixties and seventies as well as contemporary tones and famous artist styles. Plus, with 100 user patches, you can program your own sounds. "Zoom is known for innovation and originality," says Mark Wilder, Director of Marketing. "It's tough to overstate the convenience of an effects pedal that's also a USB interface. "Having a powerful effects processor that can also record right to your computer makes the G1u the perfect solution for today's guitar players, no matter their level of experience." With its 32-bit, ZFX-3 engine, the G1u offers sophisticated processing power. And Zoom's authentic sounding models are made possible by high-resolution signal processing with 24-bit A/D/A conversion and 96kHz sampling. It even houses a drum machine and auto-chromatic tuner. With innovative features and Zoom's modeling expertise, the G1u is a perfect fit for the contemporary guitarist looking to get more out of their effects pedal.
