Going beyond the conventional standards of multi-effects pedals, Zoom is introducing the new Zoom G9.2tt guitar effects console with 3-D Z-Pedal, which provides high-quality effects, recording options, and expanded control from the studio to the stage.
Incorporating a super high-resolution 96kHz sampling rate, 24-bit A/D/A conversion, two 12AX7 tubes, and the state of the art 32-bit ZFX-3 chip, the G9.2tt combines the best of the digital and analog worlds. Whether you are after a true vintage tone or fat high-gain sound, you will find a choice here. There are 106 effects in 10 modules including modeling that accurately simulates well-known amps and stomp boxes.
The preamp section offers two channels per patch. You can easily select a channel by simple foot switch operation. The amp/drive-modeling blocks have two dedicated algorithms designed for live playing and direct recording. This lets you bring the same guitar sound that you used during practice or recording right on to the stage.
The pedal features a one of a kind 3D Z-pedal which takes performance to a new plane by not only sensing conventional up/down but also sideways movement. The pedal lets you build highly complex sound control patterns by allowing the user to assign up to four parameters in each axis of pedal movement.
The G9.2tt features a USB port, which allows the unit to function as an audio interface for a computer. Simply plug the pedal into a computer with a USB cable to use the G9.2tt series in a computer-based recording system.
The analog input section incorporates an Accelerator that can amplify the signal in a tube or a solid-state based circuit. The 12AX7 tube produces fat, sturdy sound that can be mixed with the clear and transparent sound from the solid-state circuit. The separate tube Energizer section gives body and warmth to the guitar sound.
A separate stomp box, rack-mount effect or other device can be connected to the G9.2tt's effects loop and used as part of a patch. Send/return level as well as on/off status are stored as part of the patch.
The G9.2tt has an MSRP of $659.99. For more information, visit their web site at www.zoomfx.com.
