The Zoom G11 is a comprehensive all-in-one solution for professional musicians on stage and in the studio. The combination of amp simulation with a wide range of simulated cabinets and IRs and a tremendously versatile effects section skilfully replaces expensive boutique amps and extensive pedalboard setups, providing premium sounds for recording and live performance. Intuitive controls, including a touch screen and a variety of assignable slots, allow you to access entire rigs at the touch of a button, while integrated rhythm patterns and a built-in stereo looper even replace accompaniment for solo performances. Furthermore the Zoom G11 offers a wide range of connection options for mixing consoles, FOH and insertable effect pedals via two FX loops, as well as the possibility to connect the Zoom G11 to your own DAW via USB.
To help you create your own sounds, Zoom offers a selection of
authentically modelled amp simulations
. From replicas of classic
vintage amplifiers
of the sixties to Eighties
high-gain sounds
to representatives of
modern metal and djent
, the Zoom G11 covers a wide range of sounds. The G11 also features specially optimized sounds for
extended range guitars
with seven or eight strings. All amplifier simulations can be combined with the
22 cabinet emulations
of famous speakers plus
70 pre-installed impulse responses
for different speaker characteristics,
microphone types and positions
. Those who do not want to do without their own sound character and additional tonal colours can import up to
130 additional IR creations
from third-party suppliers into the G11 and call them up on stage in seconds.
Of course, the Zoom G11 is packed with a huge number of useful effects and faithfully
emulated stompboxes
. The
Razor Drive
and
Wave Shaper
use Zoom's newly developed distortion algorithms to create tube-like distortion sounds rich in overtones. In the area of modulation, the
Poly Shift Pitch Shifter
with a range of two octaves and the
SwellVibe Vibrato
for spatial ambient pads join in. Each patch of the Zoom G11 offers the possibility to store
up to 9 different effects per patch
and an
integrated expression pedal
for real-time control of effect parameters. If you don't want to do without
analogue pedals
and are looking for additional sound shaping options, you can easily integrate and use additional effect units in the setup of the G11 via
two front side FX loops
.
As a professional setup platform, the Zoom G11 offers extremely versatile connectivity options for almost all possible connections. Thanks to
outputs in mono or stereo format
, the G11 offers
playback
via classic amplifiers as well as monitor speakers in a stereo arrangement, while the additional
headphone jack
allows for silent practice via the G11. Control of the G11 and externally connected effects devices in
two FX loops
can also be controlled via the
front panel MIDI Out/In jacks
, while the
Aux In in 3.5mm stereo jack format
allows playback of backing tracks and playalongs. To connect to DAWs as an
audio interface
, there is a
USB Type C
connector, while the additional
USB port
allows Zoom G11 firmware updates via flash drives.
