I have a Zoom G5 so I am used to the switches and screens layout - and I think they are pretty intuitive to use - but I believe the color screen is redundant there, I think they just added it because everyone else has color screens. Looks like Zoom did not weighted well their priorities: 2 effects loop but no balanced output, 2 USB ports but obsolete sampling rate... The sounds on this G11, in my opinion, are way behind the new Mooer and Line 6 stuff anyway. The Zoom ones are usable, but they don't even sound similar to the real stuff!
tl;dr - I would rather buy the Mooer GE300 and save 200 euros or spend additional 140 euros and buy the Line 6 Helix LT...
By the way, awesome review as always Leo! Your multieffects reviews and comparisons are the most consistent, unbiased and helpful ones I found.

I bought one of these when they were $200 off the regular price. I like it so far. I especially like the interface. For me, it’s a nice way to transition between analog pedals and digital modeling. Nice demo Leo.

[lloydallenluna]

Leo you are the best! Your video editing and guitar playing are superb!

[jwilder]

I have a $50 Zoom G1 that sounds just as good as any modeler. Zoom needs to stay in the small/cheap market and not try to compete with the big/expensive market. I didn’t think the sounds on the real Vox sounded very crisp, so it’s hard to compare the Zoom against that. Looking forward to more comparisons, yours are the best.

I always wait for Leo to upload a video of a review that I am looking for, because i know this will be a non-biased, good content and great guitar playing all in one stuff Leo, keep going !!!! Please do a comparison video of the ZOOM G11 with other big brands please like Line 6 Helix, Boss GT 1000, AXE AX8....etc....Oh wait....you already said you will do it in the what i mean guys !!!!

[shredrick]

Well Explained... Honest and Direct. Plus superb guitar shredability. Salute Sir.

[f.valguarnera]

Come for the review, stay for the superb playing.

[deigonz]

Great Playing and mixing! Thanks for reviewing the G11 so deeply! Please make a video about your guitar playing influences

[ClaudioGiraud]

Hi Leo! another great video, thanks!. Obviously, the sound is the most important feature, but there is something that I don't like about this unit, it's its design; plastic (as you said) and 80's like design

[Dan_XF]

Hello Leo! Your channel is amazing! Congratulations! Dude... if the person is looking for equipment that acts as a pedalboard... with exchange of presets on stage... but is also looking for a better and more organic tone... with more organic effects and amp simulations... you would go for zoom g11 or from HX stomp xl if both cost me the same price ?

[TomasJaworsky]

Great review and sounds of Zoom G11 really rocks! Great multieffect! Awesome playing Leo! I leave sub and wait for more videos! 🎸👌

[enricofugazzi]

Can it be your already superb technique has improved? The way you played in this video was superb.

[normandjones]

Great guitar work and master solos the best, very inspiring :)

[robertodepetro]

Tu sei bravissimo al solito, lo zoom nel mix - secondo me - suona inscatolato

[Sousousou]

Really liked your video! Love from India ❤️

[fingerfret]

My take:
1. Most processors sound similar.
2. Even after editing you'll likely find a factory preset that sounds like it.
3. Even with all the capabilities you'll likely use a mere handful of sounds.
4. I have units from 20 years ago that sound like this...but the interface on this unit has more lights on it.
5. My older units are all but worthless. Keep that in mind.
6. Zoom makes good products. I am happy with my $80 (bought new) multi-effects pedal.
7. The price on the G11 is, frankly, too high. In another year or two it will be lower.
8. I like the touch screen and ease of editing.

If this had a dual channel Looper, expandable sd storage, expandable / importable drum loops it would be the best thing since ever.

Thank you for the in depth review! I think it sounds a bit 'buzzy'. It feels like Pod Go has similar functionality, better sounds and it at a lower price point. There is a lack of reviews for this device as of yet but so far I'm not impressed. Personally I feel like I'd either go for Pod Go and save some money or spend a few extra bucks and go for Helix LT or Headrush Pedalboard.

please compare G11 with Mooer
It would be very helpful..
And Please start sharing your guitar techniques..
You are very sound with your techniques
Cheers..
