Zoom G9.2TT

well... I would advise you to look down about 6 threads to the "Multiefffects??!!?" topic. I just recently got one... but I'll put it here :)

so i've had this for almost a week now. I'm going into the effects loop on my amp to get the best sound out of it

My initial impression was, "wow, this is hard to figure out!" After I read the manual twice, it was a piece of cake with most things.

Most of the effects are pretty good. My opinion on the wah is that they're not as good as having a real wah pedal. The harmonizers and octave effects are great!

There's even a rage/Tom Morello preset to do all of the pitch shifting things.

With that said, I don't use the presets. I immediately started making my own. I have a whole bank dedicated to the Roland JC w/ various combinations of chorus, delay, reverb and wah - so I can switch between combinations of these in a footclick. If I want a specific combination, I can go into Manual mode where it acts like a normal pedalboard with my presets.

I have some patches setup for the Overdrive, which is based off of the Boss OD-1. I really like this for crunchy blues and classic rock.

The HW Clean sound (Hiwatt custom 100) seems to sound a lot like my natural amp setting, so i have a lot of patches for this.

Theres no delay or anything when switch patches or banks. The tuner is easy to use. The Acoustic Simulator sounds pretty good.

The eq is really easy, and changing things on the fly is easy.

I'm very impressed with the sound...I'm sure that I've hardly scratched the surface on it - in that I've only messed with the EQ,Gain, and level mostly on the amp settings.

Unfortunately, I do not have a midi interface on my pc and cannot use the librarian to edit patches on my pc. The midi interface is also required to update drivers, so I have not done that either.

The zPedal is a fun toy, but i doubt i'll use the horizontal axis much

Positives: sound quality, ease of use (after reading the manual), variety of effects and amp sims, 2 expression pedals that can be configured in tons of ways. The zpedal is a fun feature. Solid Construction,cubase LE comes with this. Speed of patch switching

Negatives: some of the effects (only a few) aren't too great compared to the real deal, midi interface required to use Librarian program and to update drivers. No bag included and zoom doesn't make one. I will be receiving the CyberTwin footcontroller bag from Sweetwater soon which is supposed to be a good fit for it.

i'm very happy with this!

Thanks for the reply and review.
I did not buy one I also looked at the PodXT Live & the Vox Tonelabs LE.
They all had good reviews but to be honest I did not want the (apparent) steep learning curve.
So I purchased 2 new pedals instead...
TubeZone Overdrive and a Blue Boy Delux both Australian made from

Very happy.

I have recently just ordered the G9.2tt but have one burning question that I can't seem to find an answer to anywhere. Can the external loop on this pedal accommodate a fuzz or distortion pedal or is it only capable of handling mod/time effects. I see the the GFX-8 has a dedicated option for this.
I just want to know if the loop on the G9.2tt could have a distortion running through it without completely destroying the tone of the external distortion or creating so much noise that it isn't worth using?
