40kHz frequency response 54 Effects types, 8 Modules, built-in drum machine & harmonized pitch shifter On-board expression pedal and 80 patches (40 user defined and 40 preset patches) Operates on 4 AA batteries or included AC power adaptor
mix of rich harmonics that extend far beyond the range of human hearing (20 kHz). Because the ZOOM G1 uses 96 kHz sampling, it provides a flat frequency response from 20 Hz up to an amazing 40 kHz. This allows for an accurate model of the delicate harmonic structure of the distortion produced by a tube amp. The dynamic range is also excellent, thanks to 24-bit A/D/A conversion. Every detail of your playing technique, whether picked or fingered, emerge with full clarity. ZFX-3 the new-generation 32-bit DSP The heart of any multi-effect device is its processor and decoder section. The G1 features the Zoom's ZFX-3 chip. The 32-bit architecture ensures outstanding performance and allows smooth and detailed signal processing. This is a new generation DSP that brings out the character of your instrument without restrictions, helping you pursue the ultimate in guitar sound. 21 amp/stomp box modeling choices Covering a range of popular models By digitally simulating the clipping action of analog devices such as tubes and diodes, the G1 faithfully duplicates the distortion of tube amps and vintage effects. The choices range from models that made guitar history such as Fender, Marshall and Vox to popular modern amps including Mesa/Boogie, Peavey, and Diezel. An acoustic simulator is also included, so your electric instrument can sound like an acoustic guitar when the fancy strikes. 54 high-quality effects to fire your imagination A total of eight modules provide 54 effect types ranging from standard to advanced. Duplicate the historic sounds of the MXR Dynacomp, Vox Wah, or Crybaby Wah. Apply equalization in three bands. Add spaciousness and depth with two types of chorus. Simulate the acoustics of a room or a concert hall with five types of reverb. All effects are designed for real-life musical applications. Have the Harmonized Pitch Shifter play along in key. Use long delay and
Advantages: Lots of sounds in one package. Disadvantages: Not mighty valve produced analogue ones.
...The Zoom GFX-707 is a guitareffectspedal.
It has a large range of sounds made up of thirty factory preset ones and thirty user programmable ones.
There is a built in tuner, a built in drum machine, and a large integrated foot-pedal for those squawky wah-wah moments.
What does all this mean in real life?
Well, costs vary. I've seen it for £129.95 at musicianshop.com, £119.00 at regentguitars.co.uk, and a there's a multi-effects version called a GFX-707 II which is available at electrohill.co.uk for £119.95.
Years ago, that sort of money used to buy one Boss effectspedal with, say, distortion on it. Then if you wanted other pedals like reverb, delay, chorus and flange, these would have to be daisy-chained together with lots of little cables - a messy solution with lots of things to go wrong.
This one pedal can...

Advantages: fun to use, really nice sounds Disadvantages: so many things... can be confusing sometimes...

MY OPINION
******************
I love this unit. I purely love it. I play in a band, but as a bassist; I therefore doesn't get to use it on stage, but I purchased the bass version of the new Zoomeffects, and I use it on stage. I always get a good sound, and I am waiting at the moment for Zoom to release the bass equivalent to the ZoomG9.
I would definitely use it on stage if I was to play guitar as the sounds are really good.
However, I believe that the ZoomG7.1U would have been sufficient for me, as I am not using the G9 to its full potential (far from it). The Z-pedal is a fun addition, but I didn't find a use to it just yet.
Me, who is crap at finding nice sounds for myself, I have actually managed to get really nice sounds...

Advantages: Lots of sounds, smartmedia Disadvantages: made entirely of plastic, complicated interface
...I recently purchased this for £99 including p&p as I have been wanting a new pedal for ages, and rather than getting one which could only do one thing I decided to get one which could do a lot.
A picture of the unit can be found at this site: http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/
---------------------------
So far I have been very happy with the unit which has a great range of features:
74 different effects including: distortion, modulation (e.g. chorus and flanger), reverb and delay effects, cabinet simulator, acoustic simulator.
60 built in 'patches' and the ability to program 60 of your own. These are combinations of the effects listed above.
Runs for 11 hours on one set of AA batteries, or can be run from the main with an adaptor (which is rather annoyingly not included as standard).
Using a 16MB SmartMedia card (sold...
