Feature:
Direct digital recording, using USB
Quality:
Strong metal case, but light for its dimension
Value:
Very good value for money
Sound:
There are two processing algorithms for the sound: studio for recording and live. Personally, I find the studio sound better, especially when using distorsion. I am a bit disappointed about the live sound, but probably this is due my amplificator (a small fender) which is not good for live concerts…So I always use the recording modus which sounds great!
Ease of Use:
Very easy to use, just plug and play…

Feature:
Highest score for this. This is one of the most feature packed portable recorders I`ve seen so far, and in this price range you could not ask for more. For me it works very well as an USB audio interface for my laptop, with low latency ASIO driver. Great!
Quality:
Feels a bit cheap and plasticky, but again.. I wouldn`t expect more for the price
Value:
I think the value for this unit is great. Maybe not the best recorder in the price range, but with all its built in features you get a lot for your money!
Desirability:
It could definately have been cooler looking. It should have been 1-1,5 inch shorter and black, then it had been dead cool
Sound:
Good enough sound with the built in mic`s, have not tried it with external mic. Line input work well.
Ease of Use:
It`s easy enough. Could have had bigger buttons, or have had all the mic/line gain switches done in the software instead.
Support:
Haven`t had any use for support other than software updates which is easy available on the website
Overall:
Very pleased with this. It has worked great for me. The only draw back as far as I`m concerned is its size(should have been shorter) and to some extent the cheap feel.

Feature:
More than I know how to use at this point.
Quality:
The unit is well put together.
Value:
For myself it was worth the price and then some.
Desirability:
Even a beginner can make cd’s that will turn their girlfriend’s girlfriend’s heads.
Sound:
Sound quality is exceptional.
Ease of Use:
Still learning, but beginning players will benefit from this unit as much as the experts.
Support:
Have never needed to contact anyone other than the user guide at this point, so can only say there is a lot of info and you just need to play with it.
Overall:
I have to say that the features and quality of this product, being the second multi-track that I have owned, make it worthy of a “10″ rating.

Feature:
Definately a 10. Once you get the programing down, the flexability of this unit is unrivaled by anything else on the market. I am a 5 string rock bassist of 17 yrs. Some of our songs I use layers of effects that I need to be able to come in and out of on the fly, and the switch ability in play mode is invaluable to me.
Quality:
As solid of a unit as you will find. Solid steel body, nice switches, and a cast aluminum pedal seem to be very road worthy.
Value:
A bit high but you can pay more for less so do your homework before you buy. (I read the manual twice before I bought this one)
Desirability:
Very attractive unit, and almost half the size of the on that it replaced with about 50% more flexability.
Sound:
I gave the sound an 8 because some of the effects create a light hum, which is to be expected in most all lower level effects, but a top of the line piece of gear I would expect to be just a little cleaner.
Ease of Use:
Really a 10 for me, but I’m writing this review to help others, so if your not well versed in multiple programable effects this has a bit of a learning curve to it.
Support:
haven’t had to use support so I can’t say. We’ll say 6 until I need them
Overall:
As close to a 10 as I have seen, but with my 17 yrs. exp. your really gonna have to blow my doors off to get a 10.

Feature:
Simple features although reading the manuel will help a lot. A simple plug in and play type of deal. A couple of foot switches, an expression pedal, digital display, and a couple of knobs. It can run batteries, but it also comes with an AC adapter.
Quality:
Its a plastic unit, but I’m using it for home-playing and it should hold together. If you’re careful with it as you would other gear, it should hold up pretty well. It seems sturdy.
Value:
The price is as good as it gets for someone just messing around with sounds.
Desirability:
It’s just a practical addition to my setup…home gigging/experimenting!
Sound:
Pretty good, decent sounds come out of this. You can tell this pedal is rock influenced, but if dialed properly you can get other sounds for different genres. Plenty to experiment with!
Ease of Use:
With all the capable sounds and features, you MUST read the manuel or you will get confused. It comes with a chart to inform you of what effects you’re using in conjunction with the display. You can then edit and save what you need.
Support:
Probably wouldn’t need it…n/a!
Overall:
For what I do (hobbyist) this does the trick. It’s a multi-fx pedal for those wanting to play around with many different sounds. This may also work for those into actual perfroming.
The G1 represents a significant upgrade from the previous 505 series. The new Zoom G1 pedal features 24-bit/96kHz digital multi-effects and an incredible 40kHz frequency response. The G1 also includes a built-in drum machine, harmonized pitch shifter and an astounding 46 effect types.

Feature:
So many in fact that It takes a long long time to master this pedal. Tuner, eq, the effects, expression pedal, it is loaded! All for a great price. Has a lot more to offer than the Line 6 stuff-but again harder to master.
Quality:
The b2 and g2 line of zoom pedals are the best the company has ever produced-built like a tank in a sturdy soild metal chassis. Gig all the time with this thing.
Value:
The zoom is loaded with a ton more features than units costing twice, even three times as much, and is built as good-if not better than these units–It represents a fantastic value.
Desirability:
good design, nice color, stupid question.
Sound:
extremely quiet, tons of great/good sounding effects. Synth sucks though IMO. Extremely versatle and can be used to great effect in a variety of styles.
Ease of Use:
Major learning curve on this badboy, but well worth it.
Support:
Its so well built I don’t think I will ever have a problem–I’ll give a 9 by default. website is good, intruction booklet could be better.
Overall:
I gig wit it, practice with it, record with it, do most of my tone shpaing with it. Sure some boutique pedals I own do certain individual things better than the Zoom (distortion for example) but none come close to this mfx pedal as an all in one unit.

Feature:
Every feature on this unit is usable and sounds great. You really dont need to use Cubase but is a nice extra and you can use the unit as a control surface! I really like that it has metering for every channel, 80gb hard drive and a cd burner
Quality:
Built like a tank
Value:
Alot of bang for the price cant beat it!
Desirability:
Im a gear head the features on this tuns me on ALOT!
Sound:
This unit sounds great! I tracked a drummer and then laid down my guitar and vocal tracks using the amps in the unit. I was floored by the outcome of the project. The Zoom blows away all other daw workstations!
Ease of Use:
Had it less than 24hrs and had a whole song recorded and mastered. Thats real drums, 2 guitar tracks, bass and vocals. Very easy and sounds great
Support:
Havent had to use them so I dont know
Overall:
I plan on using this for years and would buy another if something happened to it. Best money I spent on recording gear period, and I owned a Pro Tools setup
