Zoom G1 FOUR: LOOPING tutorial - Fun stuff! 

That's great to hear - thanks Bruno, I'm glad it was helpful :) And hey if you could mention Gearfacts on social media that'd really help me out :)

Yep I'm starting to really dig it. Might demo it with a keyboard next, and I want to do a run through each individual effect on its own.

Glad I could help!

Glad it was helpful :)

Thanks Lance my man :) Gearfacts

THank you :)

My pleasure, Mr R :)

Yep that'd work. I've linked two multi effects systems together before. Got some good results and didn't lead me into any serious problems

Yeah I think you can switch off the lead-in by going to global settings

Yeah it's good value for one small, inexpensive box.

I haven't got it anymore, but gear is always coming and going from my studio so if it ever returns I'll make that video :)

Hmm sorry it's been too long since I had this one, I can't remember. Googling the manual might be the only solution I'm afraid!

I think the max loop time is something crazy like 240 seconds. There's plenty more time than i have shown here, anyway

240 seconds?? it says the looper records "up to 30 seconds" on the website and other places this pedal is advertised

no, only 30 seconds

Glad you liked it :) Yes the loops are deleted (if I remember correctly, it's been a while) iff you power off and there are no batteries in it.

@@gearfacts Thanks for your reply and your time creating all the excellent gear videos!

@@cosmicdrone5270 My pleasure TN :)

I'm not sure sorry, youd have to google the manual for that information. I don't have it anymore :/

I just got mine today and it does have an octave affect and all the effects can be adjusted so Im pretty sure you can.

Gains Flemming what’s the octave effect called or the number do you know

I've got a bad feeling you can only get the octave sound by adding the octave effect separately, and this is not true octave fuzz. I'm open to be corrected on that but I'm pretty sure that's how I remember it, and octave fuzz is something I'm always looking for so I don't think I'd be wrong about this ...still, I'd google the manual, there should be an effects list in there :) #gearfacts

hit the right pedal to stop and it starts the playback

I don’t have this pedal any more sorry and I can’t remember how to do that function. But you can still see the manual online, just search for the model number followed by “PDF“. The manual should be the first result on your screen so I just press “CTRL +F” And type in the keyword (maybe“”looping”) and jump to the correct section. Hope that helps.

Nope. It's all or nothing.

Im having the same problem now. Did u solve it?

Good idea!

You'd have to check the online manual, but it's got USB so I'd be surprised if you couldn't do that.

It can’t be extended, but I was pretty sure it gives you about 90 seconds right?

I'm having the same problem

same here, any solutions?

Hit the pedal on the FIRST beat of the next bar, not the last beat of the current bar.

hollywoodactress To me they’re very similar. Indistinguishable in a blindfold test. /Gearfacts

No. You could record them to another device but there's no way to download them :) #Gearfacts

@@gearfacts a resposta que eu precisava também. Seria muito bom se pudéssemos importar uma midi/audio track para dentro do pedal. Mas isso não é possível. Frustrante. Obrigado !!

Always got good 44.1khz clarity through mine. Not sure what the problem might be ...

Gearfacts thank you ✌️

Microfone emulation is a saver for good tone

I have it and yes, you can layer with different effects very easily.

@@javier123454321 thanks brother

The looper timing unfortunately is not that much . I think the maximum is 30 seconds.

Infinite. You can overdub as many times as you want.

However there is no undo/redo feature that's a big bummer almost unheard of with a looper.

Yes

Can't remember this specific problem, but if it's fixable it'll be in the Main menu setting I would imagine. Apart from having a look there, all I can suggest is searching up the manual on the net.

in the looping menu change the position switch to post that will allow you to change the tone. Once the loop is playing just tap the little looping button and the chose what ever tone you want.

Same lol

same! so annoying!!, I will try to look on the looping menu as @guysmilely75 suggested

​@@guysmilely7515Thank you, this works, driving me nuts. Don't know why it was set to "Pre".

I think the only reason would be that the G1FOUR is cheaper than the G3n (at least it is here). They seem to sound pretty much the same, the G3n just being more 'deluxe' I guess :) #gearfacts

G1 is cheaper, smaller/more portable and can run on batteries. Perfect for portable practice with headphones and fits in the gig bag.

I know, it's crazy right!?

What pedal do you know that has foot operated knobs? Most pedals are meant to be preset up. Very rarely do you see someone tweaking a pedal live...and when they do... they bend over...lol Maybe if you got crazy dexterous toes you can find one with big gnarly knobs for all features and tweak away to your heart's content...

@@BendApparatus I did not say anything about foot operated knobs which obviously are rotated not pushed. LOL. It would take me too long to link you to the numerous videos showing guitarists bending down to make adjustments during a song. If you understand my simple statement it is the design of pedals that is the issue. Yes of course there are presets but the existing pedals could be mult functional such as the single footswitch on the Boss RC5 looper, two quick succession pushes are prest to do a single push and a long sustained push has another function. See my video which features the Boss RC5 : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ncZNiaCoh-A.html

@@WoodomainJeremyBroun I understood your simple comment... Maybe you didn't understand my reply... I stated musicians bend over to tweak pedals...so why would I need you to list videos of them doing so... I stated most pedals are set before a song or show and kept that way for the duration of use... This is why pedal boards where born no? I know about the boss looper. I understand what you're saying. Pedals are for feet...or at least they originally where... Rack mount FX units are for synth/hardware musicians... But we hate those right? They're so friggin large... I'm guessing, English is not your native tongue?

@@BendApparatus I understood your reply. You wrote 'What pedal do you know that has foot operated knobs?' And to try to word my reply more clearly I am saying who said knobs can be foot operated? Push switches and pedal controls are foot operated on a foot pedal. LOL. What have rack mounts got to do with this or English not being my native tongue? I simply made an observation and attempted to explain that the Boss RC5 which incidentally has a clear display that can be read without bending down, is a well designed foot pedal for this very reason - you dont have to bend down while using it!

It's infinite, though in practicality you can do it maybe 6 times before things just get too messy. I guess it all depends how good your timing is :) #gearfacts

@@gearfacts Awesome ....Thanks for that super quick reply. Sorry to bug you but can you explain or point me to where it shows how to get back into the overdub mode?

@@gearfacts great videos swung it for me to buy one it arrived today just spent the last hour im hooked. Is it possible to delete the last overdub and not the full loop.

I think you have to connect to a computer to save your loops and recordings. It’s all lost when you power down.

@@gearfacts.Thank you for your response . I have it's related application on my device named GUITARLAB. But I've not seen any options like that . IDK. It's painful to just let your composition go away.

@@KIAvASH_K Oh.. I thought there was an option to save loops, maybe I was wrong. Yes it is a bummer. I use the audio recorder on my phone whenever I come up with a good riff or loop, at least then you have a record of what it sounded like.

@@gearfacts yeah that's the only way. Many too many thanx to U ❤️

Yeah it's good for solo jamming. I should do it more, it'd improve my skills :) #Gearfacts

Umm, might be about a minute I think? It's on the Zoom website

yep

@@gearfacts Ok, Very Thanks.

No it does not, ive just gonr to the site and checked out the effect list, G3n has a Particle reverb (shimer) this little puppy doest appear to have that, the closest thing is mod reverb and thats something else.

True. It’s been a while but I think the only improvement really was being able to combine beats and loops

That's probably just my lousy recording environment
