G2.1u: Taking multi-effects to the next level 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.
Features:
16 amp/stomp modeling
9 effect modules
54 effect types
40 user patch + 40 factory patch
6 bands EQ
USB audio interface
Built-on Expression Pedal
Harmonized pitch shifter

96kHz Sampling Brings Out Authentic
Sounding Tube Amp Harmonics
Everyone knows that the sound of tube amplifiers is the ultimate in
guitar tone. By employing high-accuracy 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.
ZFX-3: A New-Generation DSP from Zoom
The heart of any multi-effect device is its processor and decoder
section. Zoom has reached a new level with its newly developed ZFX-3
chip. 32-bit architecture ensures smooth and detailed signal
processing. Accuracy and speed bring out the character of your
instrument without restrictions.
54 High-Quality Effects Made Possible
by 32-Bit Processing
A total of nine effects modules are included, including dynamics,
ambience, drive, and modulation. Together they offer 54 types of
effects. The Harmonized Pitch Shifter lets you play along in
key. Use long delays or multi-tap delay of up to 5000
milliseconds. Select dynamic flanger and have the effect level
controlled by picking intensity. Select from 3 types of modulation
waveforms for the tremolo. A multitude of high-performance
choices opens up totally new territory in this class. Touch up
the harmonic register with the 6-band equalizer. The cabinet
simulator gives a choice of mic positions. The G Series has in
incredible level of flexibility and the ability to create an awesome
array of great tones.
Latest Modeling Technology Supports 16
Different Drive Sounds
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.
The Right Tools for the Job: Editing
Controls with Analog Feel
The 3 rotary knobs let you tailor 3 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 3 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.
Preset Patches Ready to Use for
Recording or Live Performance
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.
World's Fastest Patch Change Speed: 5ms
Thanks to the speed of Zoom's 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 445Hz, 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.
Ultra Low Noise Design: 120dB SN Ratio
and -100dB Noise Floor
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.
Sturdy Metal Chassis and Rubber
Damping for Superior Toughness and Durability
The combination of a solid metal chassis with shock-absorbent rubber
damping ensures that the unit can stand up to the rigors of use on
stage. Take it on the road or into the studio, the G Series will
not let you down.
2-Way Power Allows Use Just About
Anywhere
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. The 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.
Expression Pedal Adds Further
Versatility to Your Guitar Play
The built-in expression pedal is a great way to control effect
parameters in real time. Control the vintage wah, pitch shift, or
adjust the volume dynamics. Go beyond conventional pedal effects
by varying drive gain or modulation rate, and adjusting the mixing
ratio of delay and reverb. The dedicated Pedal Assign key and
status LED indicators make it a cinch to select the effect to
control. Effect on/off switching is also possible by pushing the
pedal fully down.
USB Port Enables Computer Recording
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.

A Vintage Tube Amp Sound in a Compact
Pedal
Boss knows the sound that guitarists
want and has the technological
expertise to provide it, thanks to decades of experience in guitar-oriented products
like the popular OD1 and DS1
compact pedals. Now Boss introduces the BD2 Blues Driver - a compact pedal that
gives you the classic, bluesy sound of a vintage tube
amp. Whether it's on-stage, in the studio, or practicing at home, the BD2
Blues Driver gives you that
classic tube amp sound.
The Roots of Great Sound
The tube amp has given the guitar a
rich history of great sounds,
from smooth jazz to screaming rock to crying blues. And while the guitar is a naturally
expressive instrument, the
tube amp makes it even more expressive, bringing out the subtle nuances of different types of
guitars, pickups, and
playing styles. The tube amp has shared center stage with some of history's greatest
guitarists and that same
classic sound remains popular
today. But with the BD2 Blues Driver, you don't have to own a vintage
tube amplifier - now you can
get that same great sound and expressiveness in a compact pedal.
Back to Basics with the BD2
When the situation calls for
straight-ahead, down-home blues/rock,
the BD2 Blues Driver lives up to its name. Light
distortion, fat overdrive, or smooth, warm sustain - the BD-2 gives you
all the textures you need to sing, cry, or scream.
These classic sounds are available for the first time in a compact pedal. So when
it's time to get back to basics,
just stomp on your trusty blue pedal - the BD2
Blues Driver. All the warmth
and sustain of a tube amp is at
your command.
The BD2 Blues Driver Drives it Home
From the rehearsal studio to the
concert stage, the BD2 delivers
the goods, even when playing through a solid-state amp. So you don't have to invest
big bucks in a vintage tube amp to get that
vintage sound. Even when practicing at home at low volume, you can still get the
sound of a cranked tube
amplifier without tormenting neighbors.
Fingertip Control
As for the controls - nothing fancy
here, just a Gain and Tone
control like your favorite amp, along with an overall Level control. These simple
controls give you a full range of possibilities. Crank the Gain
for hard-driving distortion
or pull it back for a smooth sound with a mild edge. The Tone control lets you get
a variety of classic guitar
sounds - from blues-breakin' British to American tweed. And like a fine amplifier,
the BD2 sound varies with your
choice of guitar and pickups and it responds to the unique feel of your playing style.

Boss DD-3 Digital Delay Pedal
Digital delay effect.
Speedy, precise adjustment of delay time.
This compact pedal provides a
digital delay effect with outstanding quality
equivalent to that of a dedicated rack-mount delay unit.
In addition to 3 delay time modes, a Delay Time control is furnished,
giving you speedy, precise adjustment of delay time continuously within
a range of 12.5ms to 800ms. The HOLD function repeats the delay
indefinitely.
T-Rex Mudhoney Fuzz Distortion Effects Pedal
2 year unconditional warranty.
The
Mudhoney is the
ultimate "fire and brimstone" machine. With the
boost function disengaged,
it provides a mild to fierce boost (depending on gain setting), with lots of bottom, easily recreating
psychadelic guitar sounds of the '60s. When the boost is engaged, the gain becomes much
more sensitive and is capable of unleashing the most hairy "in your face"
fuzz mania by adding a wild subharmonic beneath the selected fuzz setting.
Unlike most other
units, the Mudhoney is able to maintain a tight
bottom end, even in
the most extreme settings. The volume is unity gain in the 12 o'clock position and
provides up to 3 dB boost in the maximum position.
Budda
BudWah Guitar Wah Pedal
Although
the wah has been with us for many a year, the newer designs have not
addressed some of the problems inherent with the older circuitry.
For example, take the loading and muddiness of the signal when the wah
has been bypassed, the narrow frequency range and the use of
substandard parts for assembly. Taking these issues into account,
Budda Amplification researched the original Vox wah and designed a
modern version incorporating the original specifications with upgraded
tonal characteristics.
Analyzing the original "Fasel" inductor was the first measure taken to
obtain the tonal sweep that made the original Vox wah the tool that it
was. Budda's
design offers a frequency band that has the mid
range honk and top end boost of a vintage pedal without the
harshness. The next step was to conquer the tonal loss and
muddiness that occurs when you bypassed the wah. By implementing
a "hardwire bypass" modification, Budda has been able to eliminate the
wah completely from the circuit so that you retain your amp's
and
guitar's true tonal characteristics.

TC
Electronic G-System Guitar Multi-Effects Processor
9
effects simultaneously.
4 switchable effects loops.
USB connection.
In the past, guitar multi-effects units have been a much maligned
bunch. Written off as "entry-level only" for many years, these
multi-use effects boxes have come a long way since their initial
inception. TC Electronics, one of the biggest innovators in audio
processing tools in the last 30 years, strives to make believers out of
of nay-sayers.
Founded by Danish brothers in 1976, TC specializes in audio interfaces,
computer hardware, audio software, studio processors, rack effects, and
most importantly, pedal-based guitar and vocal effects. The
G-System is their flagship, a tank-like Megalodon that brings the best
of what multi-effects processing has to offer the modern guitarist.
Options
A'Plenty
Thanks to the inclusion of two independent DSP sections, the TC G-System is
capable of running up to nine of the twenty five onboard effects
simultaneously. Try as we might, we can't find a need for
any more than that. Prefer the rack/MIDI control side of being a
guitarist? TC thought of that too, allowing you to unhinge the
"brain" unit from the G-System (known as the GFX01), rack it up in a
standard 19" box, and still retain control via the remaining
floorboard. Plus, the floor unit has MIDI connections for
controlling any of your other favorite MIDI gear. Do the 18 knobs
leave you wanting more? Connect up to four
external expression pedals for added control over virtually any effect
or parameter.
Since you're going to be using this with an amplifier, TC Electronic
even went so far as to make the G-System smart enough to control and
switch your favorite amplifier,
allowing you to leave your amp's footswitch at home. And with the
USB connection, you'll be able to stay on top of your firmware updates
for years to come, all free from TC. And since this unit is all
about the little things, we'd like to mention one more little
thing--unlike most others, this TC piece has
extremely fast, silent program changes, that even allow for
controllable delay spillovers!
Total
Integration for Tonal Integration
While certainly capable of replacing the majority or entirety of your
pedalboard, that is not the aim of this TC unit: the G-System was built
with the common needs and functions at the heart of being a guitarist
in mind. TC recognizes that of all of the different kinds
of pedals we use, distortion, overdrive, and fuzz are a subjective
matter of personal taste, which is why they decided to leave them out
of the G-System completely. By the same token, the G-System
incorporates another brilliant feature--the ability to route up
to four of your favorite effects pedals or units via four switchable,
mono, analog loops, allowing placement wherever you choose in your
signal chain.
Having the option to put your other pedals within your chain wasn't
good enough for TC--they went above and beyond, allowing you to control
those effects with four of the eighteen oversized, knurled metal
knobs. Do you have a preamp you favor? TC thought of that
too, offering an additional insert point, ready to accept your favorite
external pre. Oh, and those pedals we mentioned earlier, the ones
you patched in yourself? No need to bring out an extra power
strip, because the G-System has an array of four 9V DC outlets, ready
to supply juice to your favorite stompboxes.
Continuing the design aesthetic of total control, the G-System allows
you to reroute and change up the footswitch layout to whatever your
guitar-playing heart desires.
