Product Overview
Zoom's G5n includes 100 newly custom-designed patches that recreate decades of iconic guitar tones and adds new, modern features created for G5n guitarists.
The G5n houses a plethora of features: The large overview display makes editing simple by giving you the freedom to quickly add, delete, or change the order of effects. Save up to 200 of your custom effects-chains as patches in memory, then instantly access them at the touch of a footswitch. The expression pedal allows smooth real-time control over volume, tone, or selected effects parameters, with four stompbox-style footswitches to kick effects in and out on the fly. The G5n allows you to use up to nine effects and amp/cabinet models simultaneously in any custom order.
