Equipped with three square stomp-type control panels, it allows for intuitive editing of up to six amp/effect models simultaneously. The scrolling display function allows you to instantly call up the effect you want to adjust on the large LCD. Additionally, the three knobs on each unit make sound creation and effect rearrangement easy. This unit offers stress-free operation in any scenario.
■A newly developed sigmoid curve clipper reproduces the smooth clipping waveform unique to vacuum tubes. By faithfully simulating the distortion behavior of vacuum tubes, you can achieve a rich harmonic content comparable to that of real-world models, from clean to crunch to full-gain drive sounds. It delivers natural, expressive distortion that responds well to guitar volume adjustments and picking nuances. Adjusting the ""TUBE"" parameter on each amp model allows you to further enhance the harmonics and sonic pressure unique to vacuum tubes.
■ Includes 22 faithfully simulated guitar amp models, from global standard historical models to the latest popular models. Each amp features unique cabinet modeling, beautifully recreating the physical acoustic characteristics that change depending on the number of speakers and cabinet material. You can also combine amps and cabinets from different manufacturers to create unique amp sounds.
■ Includes a total of 116 diverse guitar effects. You can freely combine any three types from a wide range of effects, including distortion, compression, modulation, and delay/reverb. HD Reverb utilizes the power of the latest DSP to deliver rich reverb comparable to that of professional studio outboard gear.
■More powerful and smarter. Equipped with Zoom's newly redesigned, fourth-generation ZFX-IV DSP. 32-bit floating-point processing enables advanced algorithms to deliver an unprecedented level of realism in tube amp sound. This next-generation processor boasts overwhelming power, upgrading sound, functionality, and operability in every way.
■Equipped with audio interface functionality that allows you to record G3 sound directly to your PC with a single USB cable. Adjustable recording levels and monitor signals support smooth recording. Steinberg's Sequel LE recording software is bundled free of charge, allowing you to easily create songs by simply arranging audio material, so you can start full-fledged music production right out of the box.
■Equipped with a rhythm machine convenient for practice and sessions.
■ 100 preset patches packed with professional effect techniques, including 20 unique and creative demo patches, ranging from classic 60s and 70s rock sounds to the latest heavy sounds and even the sounds of famous artists.
■ Equipped with an XLR balanced output that outputs a balanced signal with minimal sound degradation. You can connect directly to a PA system or recording studio mixing console without using a DI box.
