  • Hello again!!!
    This video shows you the FOUR SECONDARY OPERATING MODES of the Zoom G1X-FOUR multi-effects pedal. These modes are accessed by the two rectangular buttons located on either side of the LCD screen.
    Here's a free visual "mind map" (PDF) of the primary operating modes you can download and print for reference: drive.google.com/file/d/1r4Qd...
    (The first video covers the FOUR PRIMARY OPERATING MODES: • Zoom G1X-FOUR pedal QU... )
    Since we covered all the basic in the first video, let's get right to it...
    0:00 Welcome Back
    0:30 INTRO: Four Secondary Operating Modes
    0:55 Secondary Mode: BUTTONS
    Left Button cycles thru:
    - Memory / Patch-bank
    - Stomp-Box
    - Edit
    Right Button:
    - Goes In / Out of (System) Settings
    1:40 Secondary Mode 1: MEMORY / PATCH-BANK
    Default mode, same as covered in the first video
    2:00 Secondary Mode 2: STOMP-BOX
    Enable / Disable pedals in the pedal chain
    2:55 Secondary Mode 3: EDIT
    Edit FX in the pedal chain / patch-bank
    Edit the parameters of FX
    4:15 Sidenote 1: SAVING EDITS
    "Save" is not technically part of the EDIT mode but covering it here seemed to make sense
    Important details on properly saving edits!
    5:35 Sidenote 2: SAMPLE EDIT: Empty FX slot
    7:00 Quick review of Left Button modes: Memory - Stomp - Edit
    7:20 Secondary Mode 4: SETTING (system)
    8:00 Secondary Mode 4-1: CHAIN
    8:50 Secondary Mode 4-2: PATCH
    9:15 Sidenote 3: SAMPLE EDIT: Edit FX name
    10:50 Secondary Mode 4-3: SAVE / SWAP
    We covered "saving" earlier in the video
    Now let's cover the "swap" (patch-banks) function
    11:40 Secondary Mode 4-4: SETUP
    11:45 Default options: BPM and Auto-Save
    12:45 Performance option: Pre-Select
    14:15 Performance option: Bank-Hold
    15:10 Secondary Mode 4-5: Power / LCD
    15:40 Summary of the 4 Secondary Operating Modes
    16:20 Sidenote 4: Using the G1Xfour EXPRESSION PEDAL
    19:15 Sidenote 5: PROCESS OVERFLOW ERROR
    21:55 Salutations
    22:22 Appreciation (With a little nod to Wim Hof at the end :-)
    If you find value in this video, and you're going to buy this pedal ANYWAY, why not buy it thru my Amazon affiliate link below? It doesn't cost you a dime more, and I earn a few bucks w/ each purchase. (Every little bit helps these days.) If you have your Amazon Smile setup (the link below should go there if you do) your preferred charity will also make a few bucks, and you still paying the same price: $109.
    Here's the Amazon link: amzn.to/2SiOvJq
    Also, with THIS CABLE, you can use ANY potable speaker with an AUX input as your amplifier: www.amazon.com/dp/B08JCTFX2G/
    For the record, if other sites (like Sweetwater) made it as easy to be an affiliate, I'd include links for them as well.
    Thanks for watching and, like I said... I'm going to jump into the Guitar Lab software and see where that leads, which is probably to a third video on this pedal - lol. If you subscribe to my channel, YT will notify you when it's posted.
    Have a comment or question? Post it below. I personally read and reply to them all.
    Also, be sure to download the cheat sheet (mind map) of the G1X FOUR Secondary Operating Modes from here:
    drive.google.com/file/d/1r4Qd...
    Have a great day!

    Sorry, have already, just, ordered my B1 four. This was great, thank you. Of all the many vids I've watched, mostly B1 ones, these, parts one and two, were the best. Clearest, most info, logical format, good graphics, no nonsense delivery. I'm well prepared for the arrival of my pedal. I'll go and subscribe now even though I'm a basser. More thanks.

    Also, if you are running to a guitar amp, turn off the ‘mic’ or get rid of the cabinet simulator in each patch you use.
    If you are running to an audio interface (recording direct) turn on the ‘mic’ or add a cabinet simulator to each patch you use.
    Example: if you run a patch that has a cab sim in the signal chain to a guitar amp it will sound ‘muddy’. Try that patch again with the cab sim mic turned off and see if you like it better.
    If you are using this in the studio, and running it into your audio interface. Running a patch that does not have a cab sim in the chain will sound ‘harsh’ or ‘tinny’. Try that patch again with a cab sim added and the ‘mic’ turned on. 🎸

      where is this "mic" you are talking about. Did I miss something? Also I was planning on buying one of these mostly just for headphone monitoring, not going into an amp or cabinet. Would these preset patches sound like crap until I add or take up a slot with a cabinet sim? thanks for the info :)

    Concise video and clearly explained. I don't need the damm manual to use this. It's broken down in a manner that makes sense and quickly get to getting on with making music.
    Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. If you ever do one on the Nux MG30 as a no thrills, no bull tutorial series, I would love that.

      Hi @joellebrodeur1015 - thanks so much for the kind words :-) My wife is on me to make more videos as well LOL, but there's SO many pieces of equipment out there in the world now, I really just focus on equipment I actually use - that being said, I am planning out 2-3 new videos right now :-) 2 on new equipment I'm using, and 1 how-to on a piece of existing equipment I have - never a dull moment LOL !!!

    WOW!!! That is a lot to ascertain. Very helpful for what brain cells I have left. Never new that figuring out joe satriani can become secondary to figuring out the effects. This is another great reference video to go back to so thank you. FYI I did see a trick on another channel about turning the first knob to select mic on or off. It kinda deadens the feedback or makes the sound sharper. Idk how to do it I’ll go back and add it to a comment to your video #2. Thanx again I’ll share this and recommend ur videos to who I can

    Best Video on G1X-Four! I just bought the Zoom A1X Four--and none of the available videos explain this pedal as well as you do. Especially the two pedal Category display. Could not find that anywhere else, thank you. Zoom needs to write much better manuals.

    • @TheImageDoctor
      @TheImageDoctor  Před rokem

      Zoom is great, and I've been a user/fan for decades (!!!) but yeah, they're just too big and corporate now to pay attention to what users really need to know to get up to speed - but the G1Xfour is the ONLY FX pedal on my board (and the G1Xon was previously) so I'm pretty clear on what "real world users" need to know about this pedal - thanks for commenting :-)

    Just bought one of these for Saxophone last month. I'm familiar with working with chains, and think that the Zoom is quite intuitive, but I'm very appreciative for you showing me a few features that I wouldn't have stumbled upon myself.

      @@TheImageDoctor yup. These were actually designed with acoustic instruments in mind. The presets feature effects for violin, trumpet, and sax. In fact, the preamp is far superior to most multi-effects pedals from the past. The feedback eliminator is also pretty amazing! I'm actually running my wireless mic through an old Digitech Vocal-300 into the Zoom. Basically, the Digitech is replacing the Zoom's XLR to 1/4" converter preamp. My original plan was to just replace the Digitech outright, but the two pedals actually work very well with each other. The added bonus is that I can stack even more effects from the previous pedal into the Zoom while the latter amplifies and cleans up the signal better than the Digitech ever could do on its own. I'll get around to posting some A/V on this topic eventually.

    • @technoguyx

    • @JakeWerkmeister
      @JakeWerkmeister Před rokem +1

      @@technoguyx OK, so I dug into this a bit deeper when I got home. I live in Pittsburgh, and was coming back from a pretty lucrative gig in Detroit when you commented. First thing's first. I love what Zoom is doing. I created a few patches via the Zoom Guitar Lab app with a set of headphones. The user interface is even easier to use than what the pedal itself can offer. I didn't have the chance to try these out in a live setting before putting them to use, but they worked perfectly fine in a medium sized venue in front of about 400 people. The band I was with has a Presonus digital board that we use for IEM's. Bottom line, I can keep track of my levels from patch to patch via an iPad that's in front of me. The shear consistency from patch to patch impressed me, even when using my old Digitech as a preamp. In fact, this pedal has only improved that one.
      Now going onto Zoom's website and comparing specs, I'm fairly confident in saying that the G1x Four and A1x Four are the same pedal with two major caveats.
      1) The A1x Four comes with a battery powered XLR to 1/4" preamp. This is used as a means to easily connect a mic to the pedal. This is used for acoustic instruments, though I'm sure it can be used well in applications in which a guitarist prefers to mic their amp as opposed to going direct. I'm not using this particular piece of hardware, since my Digitech is doing the exact same thing without the worry of running out of battery power.
      2) The G1x Four is preloaded with guitar effects in mind while the A1x Four is preloaded with general purpose effects. Both can be reprogrammed to perform the other pedal's job via the Zoom Guitar Lab app. Both can be made into something totally different with the same app. When it comes to A/D, D/A conversions, signal processing power, displays, input/output, and output in ohms, they're the same. Even the battery life is 18 hours continuous with both.
      The only real discrepancies I can see are in the dimensions and weight of the chassis, and it looks like that boils down to a few typos in the A1X Four description. The differences make absolutely no sense to me. I work in retail, furniture specifically, and I see mistakes like this quite often. Hey, it's an honest mistake made by data entry folk in an office that have no real context as to what the actual product is. I'd only be able to confirm this by having both pedals on hand, which I don't, but after looking at everything I think it's safe to say that I'm going off of a pretty well educated hunch.
