Mine is actually the G1Next, which has the built-in foot switch that kind of looks like a gas pedal. Other than that it's the same. I haven't used it a ton, but it is a lot of fun and makes some great sounds through my el cheapo Peavy Rage amp. With a better amp it would probably be great. Lots of adjustments available and the tuner feature is fast and easy to use. I just wish it was smaller so it would fit in my guitar case.
I like the sounds and easy programmability. Drum patches are great too. Nice for practicing. One thing that would be good is if the device had a bypass so you could swap back and fourth from amp to pedal.

I bought the Zoom G1Xon as a lightweight, minimal-footprint multi FX pedal for practice and travel. I heard that it sounded pretty good for its ridiculously-low $69 price tag, but I never imagined it would sound THAT good! Until not long ago, cheap FX pedals had an obvious Achilles heel: their crappy DA converters that would make them sound like old transistor radios. If you wanted a unit with decent DAC's, you had to spend at least $400-500. Prices for good DA circuitry have now reached unprecedented lows, and that allows super-cheap digital devices to actually sound pretty good. What I mean is that you can totally bring this thing to a gig and use it professionally. Don't know about long-time reliability, but it's definitely good enough to be used for live gigs. As you can expect, the construction is entirely plastic (except for the metal backplate), and it doesn't look particularly sophisticated (spartan is probably the right adjective...) Still, it appears to be pretty rugged and decently-built. The unit comes with 100 presets but no slots for user patches. Before you make a stink about that, it's not really a deal-breaker, as most of the patches make excellent demos for this unit, but in fact they aren't really practical. I doubt many people would actually use them. So right off-the-bat you can delete at least 30-40 patches to make room for your own. Programming is very easy for anyone who's already familiar with multi FX units. You can stack up to 5 FX per patch. If you push both pedals, you get to a tuning page, which also doubles as a bypass. Very handy. To conclude, you'd be nuts not to buy this thing for such a small price! It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, for less than $70 this thing is the mother of all guitar accessory steals!!Read full review

I am new to guitar but you cannot beat the price for what you get in this pedal. I especially love the acoustic and bass settings. They make my electric guitar sound acoustic and like a bass. I really like it!

This is the perfect pedal for me. I'm involved in a part time musical group where I play keyboard as well as guitar. Needless to say, I want to travel light. I see it as a hassle lugging around several effects boxes, extra cable plus fighting "hum" noises, etc. I had three requirements for a multi-effects pedal: pre-determined patches, operate on wall power (no batteries required even though you can use them), and have a built in tuner. The patches are outstanding and are preset to famous sounds. No guess work. Unless you have obscure tastes, you're ready to go right out of the box. I just tap the up or down button to get where I want. I get no outside distortion or hum. This is a clean little unit. Just tap both large buttons simultaneously...and there is your tuner. You can create and store presets or your own favorite created patches. I went with the Zoom pedal because for years I have used Zoom for special keyboard effects to get exactly what I wanted. I have not used other multi-effects pedals before, only individual stomp boxes. I should have done this a long time ago. This unit is an outstanding value.Read full review
