Zoom G6 Guitar Multi-Effects Processor with 4.3-Inch Touchscreen and IR

Zoom G6: A Flagship Guitar Processor You Build by Touch

The Zoom G6 is a flagship guitar multi-effects processor built around a 4.3-inch color touchscreen, where you drag, drop, and swipe an entire signal chain into place. It pairs amp models with 22 cabinet emulations and 70 preloaded impulse responses, plus room for more than 100 of your own IRs, so a captured cab tone follows you to any stage. Up to nine effects chain at once, or seven with amp emulation, giving signal paths far deeper than the compact FOUR-series pedals. A built-in expression and volume pedal and six stomp switches make all of it playable hands-free.

Amp Modeling and Custom Impulse Responses

The G6 delivers Zoom's collection of amp models with 22 cabinet emulations, each shaping the character of the modeled rig. Seventy precisely recorded impulse responses ship onboard, and room for over 100 user IRs lets a guitarist load third-party captures of a favorite cabinet. That means the same processor can sound like a small combo one night and a stacked half-stack the next. For a player chasing a specific recorded tone, loadable IRs are the difference between close and exact.

A Stage Rig with Real Controls

Six stomp switches change patches and toggle effects across a set, and the built-in expression and volume pedal handles wah, swells, and parameter sweeps without a bolt-on treadle. The touchscreen keeps deep editing fast between songs, so a tone tweak never stalls a show. Up to nine effects in a chain cover complex rigs that a small pedal cannot hold. It is built for the gigging guitarist who wants a full board's flexibility under two feet.

Record, Loop, and Expand

As a 2-in/2-out USB audio interface, the G6 records guitar with its amps and effects straight into a DAW, on stage, through a PA, or at a home desk. An SD/SDXC-card looper captures up to two hours for building arrangements or practicing over long passages, and 68 rhythm patterns supply a beat. Guitar Lab browses and loads amps, effects, and artist patches over USB, expanding the 240-patch memory. Powered by the AD-16 adapter, it is a studio front end and a stage flagship in one deck.
