Zoom G11 Multi-Effects Processor with Expression Pedal

Pro board .. Have used it at several gigs.. Best on a stand

I have been using the Zoom 11 for about 6 months now. It is by far the best pedalboard I have ever owned. I borrowed a Helix and absolutely hated it. Hard to use and weighed a ton, not to mention the price. I love the touch screen and the lay out of the nobs and switches. It is very easy to tweak the presets to my liking and to make adjustments on the fly at gigs when necessary. I'm not a gearhead who brings a suitcase size board to gigs.After reading other reviews I felt the need to address a couple of remarks. First, the lack of a XLR output is easily addressed with the use of a DI box. Second, the presets are very easy to adjust to my liking. Or you can make your own. This board is very versatile. I use my Zoom 11 at church and at other venues.

I've tried the Zoom G5n before and the Zoom G11 is vastly superior in terms of sound quality no doubt. I definitely recommend that product !

I have been using Zoom products for years. The G11 is their most amazing Guitar Pedal Workstation yet. The versatility of this product is amazing. If you Install GuitarLab V6.0 or later you can program it from your computer. The tone quality and responsiveness of the G11 is truly second to none. I have been waiting for a pedal like this for years. I now have one. I definitely recommend this pedal!

I LOVE this G11 but I'm returning it. Why? I knew it didn't have any XLR outputs when I got it but it's turned into a big deal for plugging into the board. I can use my Whirlwind, but that's one more item I need to carry. Like my old Zoom G3, I can run directly into the board AND out to my amp at the same time. Same with my Boss GT1000. Unlike the solid metal feel of the Boss GT1000 (or even Boss GT100) this is really light and all plastic. It's got a nice functioning touchscreen. The factory presets were made by somebody that's tonedeaf. You can get MUCH better tones by diving (really easy to do, especially compared to the Boss GT1000) into the unit.I don't usually use these things as multieffets but rather as a pedalboard that I can turn pedals on and off. I usually don't use the preamp either, but do use the 4 cable method if I have an amp with effects loop. Ths G11 itself has 2 loops on the back, so one loop I can stick, say, my Foxrox Octron and MXR Phase 95 in one loop then use the other for 4 cable.Soundwise, not many people could tell if you're using the G11, the Boss GT1000 or even my old standby the Boss GT100.The G11 has a GREAT looper and a very useful for home jamming or making scratch tracks drum machine. It's basic but gets that job done and can even do 3/4, and 5/4 with no issues. You can set up it for bluetooth (like the GT1000 but hopefully not as slow and clunky) but with the touchscreen probably not really an issue.The G11 is currently almost a bargain at $599.99 and I suspect the price will continue to drop (they were $799.99 until they figured out nobody was buying them).The most annoying this is the slow boot up time as well, mine takes about 45 seconds to get going. Even my old Boss GT100 will be ready in under 10 seconds, same with the GT1000. Not sure why but I find that incredibly annoying. The interface again though is great and easy to use.
