Zoom G9.2tt

This is my first modeller working like a real tube amp !
I can hardly get a bad tone out of it - only differnt ones.
All is very easy to use, even the factory presets are quite nice.
I miss a channel A/B copy feature I am used from the GT8. So here I have to set everything for both channels.
But there is a software editor available - which I did not test until now.

Yes ! That's the point. Sound - this one sounds very sweet !
I own a XTLive, GNX3000 and GT8 - and like this one most. I was very surprised - since the old Zoom board were not able to compare to the other ones. But this one sounds killer. Clean, Crunch, Heavy all possible.
The reverbs, delays and chorus are fine too - the others are ok.
Since I am used to the flexible effect routing of the GT8 - I miss this in the Zoom - but the basic effect settings are possible.
I miss a Pre amp EQ.

The basic amp sound of this one is the best of all modellers I tested.

Build like a tank - all metal !
To early to say something about it.

Zoom allways answert my emails very fast.

I play all styles form clean blues to high gain stuff. This one can do it all. We used it in a band with another tube amp - and the Zoom cuts throu (unlike many other modellers).

Did I say that this one is easy to use and sounds very good !
Time to play again - instead of spending all night trying to tweak the boxes - well done.

I am happy I bought this one - don't get fooled by the bad .mp3 demos - it's much better sounding !

If it would be lost - I would get another one.

Within a few minutes I had an excellent sound, so easy is this unit to use. I would advise reading the manual before hand obviously, as this unit's preset patches come in both recording mode (which has a cab simulator) and live mode, and if you select the recording mode when playing through a normal guitar amp, it will sound a bit fuzzy. However, if you're sensible and read the manual (even just the sheet that shows you all the patches), you'll have no problems sounding amazing in no time

I normally use my BC Rich NJ Series Warlock with this, but have also used my NJ Beast and my 20 year old Washburn. It all goes through a Crate 120 watt half stack (or two if I'm feeling saucy). All I can say is that I've never heard anything else like it. Its truly amazing, perfect for what I want to play (mainly Thrash metal, also Iron Maiden style metal), and with the ming boggling array of effects and presets available, I'd wager this could fit every musical style out there. Never before have my pinched harmonics screamed as much. Every single effect is amazingly good, and with the excellent noise reduction, its totally free from noise.

Well, I havent gigged it yet, but I can tell by just looking at it that this will stand up to the test of time. Its incredible rugged, and weighs a tonne as well, so may be useful for bludgeoning promoters when they wont pay up. I would certainly use this without a backup as (aside from the fact that I couldn't afford a backup!) I can't see this failing, it seems extremely well crafted.

Not had to deal with Zoom, don't think I'll have to either

For playing metal, this is the perfect effects console. Even though I've only been playing for 6 years, I can safely say that this is the best effects consol I've ever seen. Kicks the crap out of my mates Boss unit, and he'll be switching as soon as he has the cash. Having a USB connection (though I haven't tried it yet) for recording straight onto a computer is pure genius, as I've got a terrible memory when it comes to writing my own riffs, but since I can just plug this baby in and record, it'll make writing songs that much easier.

Overall, this is clearly the best effects unit I've ever owned, and will be selling all my other effects gear (including my Lexicon rack unit). I have to say, if it was stolen I'd have to buy two to replace it. One to play with, the other to bludgeon the thief to death with!

This unit is pretty simple to get up and running, Users who have already been using Zoom effects units will find it works in pretty much the same way as the older models. I would suggest new users to Zoom multi-effects units actually read the manual because it gives some pretty good connection help as well as tips of quicker navigation..

I replaced a Zoom 8080 Superplayer with this unit so my current setup is an '82 Gibson LP with an EMG 81 & 85 ran into the G9.2tt and from to the front of a Marshall 1959SLPX full stack with 1960 cabs. Once you set the G9.2tt to the type of AMP its being used with it sounds amazing. Since the unit has an "ACCELERATOR Tube" & an "ENERGIZER Tube" it can help those users using solid state amps acheive a pretty conviencing tube like sound along with pushing all tube amps a little harder for some great natural distortion. I must say that their have been alot of effects unit come and go that simulater popular amp models and stomp boxes but by far the G9.2tt is as close as you can get with out actually owning them. This unit can produce some of the best vintage overdrives but can also provide some heavy distortion as well. I think that users who are already using Zoom multi-effects units are going to be blown away and those who because of past experiences feel that Zoom effects unit sound very synthetic are going to be surprized as well.

I was really surprized at just how much this unit weighs, It pretty much all metal construction, even down to the rear input/output jack. It doesnt feel fragile and totally leaves the impression that it could actually handle the "Real World" abuse from the road. I haven't actually started using this in my live performances but i dont see using without a backup a problem.

I have owned a number of High End zoom model for about 10 years and have never had a problem with any of them, I hope the G9.2tt continues this trend as well.

Ive been playing guitar for almost 15 years and Overall I think this is the best multi-effects unit on the market as of now. They have definiatly created a monster in the G9.2tt. The quality of effects are some of the best on the planet at the moment and i think alot of Boss & Digitech users are going to be using the G9.2tt when they hear it. Its definitly more user friendly for actual stage use in its disign and layout. One thing worth mentioning is the 3D Z-Pedal, I dont think Zoom is going to create a trend among other manufactures with this design anytime soon. The side to side control of this feels very un-natural or at least to me anyway. All in all i think Zoom has done it this time around and if i hade it to do all over again knowing what i know now about the unit. I would have most likely paid twice what i did.

After checking out the specs I couldnt wait to get this pedel, possibly the 1st in the UK as everywhere is 'still witing for stock'! Very easy to use, just read at least some of the manual 1st! All editing is done by a multitude of well labeled dials, the LCD info panel tells you pretty much all you need to know. I had good sounds within the first 10 minutes. OK its a bit more involved than a simple FX pedel, and the sight of those 2 valves just makes you want to plug in a scream but you really do have to check out the manual to get the best results, for example the ZNR default settign can kill you sustain so needs backing off slightly.

I use this with an Ibanez JS1200 and RG1527 7 string, the unit is silent when not playing although I do run through a couple of Marshall DSL100's which hum slightly when turned up (as expected)! the G9.2 should not really be used in the FX loop of the amp as it is essentially a pre-amp in its own right.
Some effects were slightly muddy with the default EQ settings but this was easily sorted with the tone dials on the 'Pre-amp' section of the pedel.

Too new to know!

Never had to use them.

I play rock/metal Iron Maiden to Vai, some classical and ambient stuff when I cant be bothered to exercise my mind. I compared it to all other multi FX boards on the market at the moment but none even came close. I also use Lexicon rack effects but am now considering selling the whole rack after buying the G9.2tt. If it were lost I'd get another striaght away! The price is fantastic too!
