Fresh New Takes on 159 Essential Guitar Tones (G5n v3.0)

The G5n comes loaded with 127 beautifully-crafted and newly assembled DSP effects, plus 32 of the most faithful and realistic amp/cabinet emulators we've ever created.

A wide array of effectsThe G5n comes equipped with freshly-developed takes on not only the most-essential guitar sounds like overdrive, distortion, compression, EQ, delay, reverb, flanging, phasing, vibrato, and chorusing, but also unique multi-effects such as Seq Filter, Gold Drive, Reverse Delay, HD Hall, and OSC Echo.

Ultra-realistic amp/cabinet emulationYou can connect the G5n directly to a PA system or audio interface, using the 32 brand new onboard amp and cabinet emulators. Choose from 16 classic amp models like the ‘59 Fender Bassman, Diezel Herbert Channel 2, Marshall JCM800, Fender Twin Reverb, and MESA Boogie Mk3 , all newly and faithfully created to be adjusted exactly as you would with the knobs and switches of the real thing.

Pair your amp with one of the 16 newly-created cabinet emulators to complete the sound, choosing from cabinets like the Marshall 1960 A-type cabinet(4x12” Celestion speakers), Fender ’65 Deluxe Reverb (1x12” Jensen C-12K speakers), Mesa Boogie Mark 1 (1x12” ALTEC 417-8H speaker), or Bogner Ecstasycabinet (4x12” Celestion speakers).

124 custom-crafted combinations and counting

To explore the wealth of possibilities that the G5n offers, we continuously collaborate with inspirational, professional guitarists known for their taste and love of great guitar sounds. The G5n comes stocked with 124 custom-designed patches that both recreate decades of essential guitar tones—like the iconic sounds of Eddie Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Carlos Santana, Foo Fighters, and Led Zeppelin—and pioneer new territory with combinations exclusively created for G5n guitarists.

Stand out with "Lead BGN," a modern lead sound folded into a modulated delay, or "Phazed," an intense tube amp sound through a phaser. The "UFO" patch harnesses parametric EQ in the style of the lead guitarist of the band of the same name, and then there's "DreamWorld," an overdriven crunch enhanced with tape echo and hall reverb.

With our free ZOOM Guitar Lab software, you can look for new effects and amp/cabinet emulators, as well as even more exclusive patches from our diverse and growing list of G5n creators, people like:

• Kyle Bolden (Stevie Wonder)
• Eric Struthers (Aaron Neville)
• Richard Patrick (Filter)
• Jeff Schroeder (Smashing Pumpkins)
• Luca Colombo
• Kiko Loureiro (Megadeth)
• Tommy Bolan (NYC, Banzai, Warlock)
• Errol Cooney (Christina Aguilera, Stevie Wonder)
• Wes Geer (Korn, hed PE)

G5n Artist Patches

Create your signature sound

Easy editingEditing is simple and intuitive thanks to a unique, large overview display that allows you to quickly add, delete, or change the order of effects—something not easily accomplished with the average pedalboard. There are also four independent editing displays for zeroing in on the perfect sound, each bank providing the responsiveness and hands-on feel of a stompbox. Store up to 200 of your custom effects-chains as patches in memory, each instantly accessible at the touch of a footswitch.

Powerful pedalsThe G5n's expression pedal gives you smooth real-time control over volume, tone, or selected effects parameters, with four stompbox-style footswitches to kick effects in and out on the fly. When you're ready to take a solo, get the bump you need with the G5n's output booster. And to synchronize rhythm patterns and delay times to the beat, just hit the G5n's dedicated Tap tempo footswitch to bring your sound in line.

Complex tonalitiesIt would take an arsenal of stompboxes, amplifiers, and speakers to duplicate everything you can do with a single G5n. With the release of firmware V2.0, G5n offers more efficient DSP power. This lets you chain up to nine effects more easily and in any order you like.  It's like having hundreds of fully loaded pedalboards in one compact, easy to use device.

Practice up, play out

68 built-in rhythm patterns make the G5n the perfect practice rig and enable "one-man band" performances. A two-unit looperfunction, which uses dedicated footswitches to start and stop phrases, allows you to record and overdub phrases up to 80 seconds long throughthe effects of your choice. Plus there's a built-in chromatic tuner, always accessible at the touch of a footswitch—you can bypass the currentlyselected patch while tuning, or mute the signal altogether.

The ins and outs

The G5n can be easily integrated into any live performance or studio rig. In addition to a standard guitar input, there's an auxiliary stereo input for the connection of smartphones or music players, plus a dedicated headphone jack for silent practice and dual outputs for mono or stereo L/R connection to guitar amps, PA systems, and audio interfaces.
