The Future of Pedals
Jaw dropping effects combined with powerful amp modeling, the G6 gives you more sonic possibilities than ever before.
Drag and Drop
Your sounds may be complex but building them shouldn’t be. With easy-to-use application driven technology, the G6’s 4.3-inch color touchscreen lets you drag, drop and swipe your way to new sounds.
Amps + Cabs
All the best amps in amp history are in here (and a few new ones, too), along with 70 pre-loaded, precisely recorded impulse responses (IR) and room to add more than 100 of your own.

The Right Sound
The G6 also delivers the ultimate collection of Zoom’s legendary guitar effects and tones, including brand new Distortion and Modulation effects.

Plan Ahead
The G6 has room for 240 patches, including 100 presets so you can build patches for each song in your repertoire and easily cycle through your setlist. Create patches of up to seven effects.

Play Modes
The four Play Modes on the G6 will change the touchscreen and footswitch layout to give you quick access to the controls you need.
Looper
Use the Looper to add layers to your sound. Create loops up to 2 hours using an SD/SDXC card.
Memory
Ideal for organizing your patches for performances, the Memory Mode allows the foot switches to activate one of the 4 patches in each bank.
Bank/Patch
This mode lets you scroll up and down through your Banks and Patches by clicking the corresponding foot switch.
Effect Board
This mode provides a visual representation of your pedal chain. By clicking the assigned foot switch, you can turn on or off an effect in your patch.
Infinite Looping
The G6 can create multiple loops up to 2 hours each in length with an SD/SDXC card.* Create, store and recall up to 256 loop files.
*45-second looper without SD card.
Groove & Go
Choose your groove from the 68 onboard rhythm patterns, styles and time signatures.
Take it With You
Portable, versatile, and packed with tonal possibilities, the G6 is perfect for guitar players on the move.

Zoom Original Amp Models

New Distortion Effects
Razor Drive
Razor Drive uses comb filtering to control the sound saturation by boosting the filter and therefore distortion, at each frequency point of resonance. This processing creates a new distortion never before heard.

Wave Shaper
Wave Shaper applies a new original algorithm to shape the waveform and create a unique sound extremely rich in harmonics.

New Modulation Effects
PolyShift
PolyShift adds subtle sound variances over a two-octave range to deliver a modern pitch shifting effect.
Geminos
Geminos is a real-time doubling effect that adds thickness and width by triple overdubbing the original dry signal. This reproduces a random organic texture when playing chords and powerful sustain for solos.

SwellVibe
SwellVibe, unlike any standard vibrato that starts modulating the signal from the start, applies pitch modulation with a time lag affecting only the sustain of your sound. It inspires unconventional ways for playing ambient pads.
