Re: zoom g1x pedal, good or bad?

The main problem with those zoom uints is the noise gate. I'm not sure with that particular model, but in most of their later units like the one you have listed...you cant disable it or really adjustit, so note dont decay naturally, and just sound weird. i had the 2.1U briefly, took it back the next day becuase of that issue. IMO the effects also pale considerably to the competition, I ended up with a diitech RP500, and I love it, sounds great, very easy to operate , pedal board mode rocks, in PB mode the switches act just like pedals, and each patch nets you a diffent board, plus amp/cab sims can be disabled/enabled at the push of a button patch programming is a breeze through a PC, everythings laid out clear and simple with knobs to click on and twist like real amps or stomp boxes, changes are real time so dialing in a tone is quick, easy and fun.

The RP 250 is simialr in function to the RP500 and MF has an SD deal for $30 more than the zoom.
