With six pedal switches and a built-in expression pedal, the G6 lets you fly around your effects just like an analog board. There are 68 built-in rhythm parts on hand for solo performances, and you can loop over 2 hours of material when you have an SD card plugged into the board. In addition, you can expand your palette of sounds with Zoom’s free Guitar Lab software for Mac and Windows, or the Handy iOS app. You can download new effects, amp and cabinet emulators, as well as exclusive patches from a diverse and growing list of pro guitarists.

Lots of FX
The G6 delivers the ultimate collection of Zoom's legendary guitar effects and tones, including brand new Distortion and Modulation effects. New distortion effects include Wave Shaper and Razor Drive. Polyshift is on hand for two-octave modulation, as is a doubling effect called Geminos. Chain up to 9 effects, or 7 effects with amp emulation.
Amps
The G6 provides a total of 22 cabinet emulations of all modeling amps. Plenty of classic amplifier sounds are included, and you can use them with or without included IR cab responses.
Cabs
The G6 provides 70 preloaded, full-spectrum impulse responses of cabinets, which is quite useful if you're routing your sound directly into a house PA. These impulse responses were captured by placing the microphone in three different positions. Each cabinet has a recording where the mic was placed 1" away, 12" away, and deeper out into the room.

Chain up to 9 effects or 7 effects + amp emulation
