Zoom G92TT Twin Tube Guitar Multi-Effects PedalThe Zoom G9.2tt Guitar Console - 2 Tubes, 2 Expression Pedals and USB!
Zoom has taken the guitar effects pedal to the next level with the introduction of the new G9.2tt guitar effects console. Incorporating super high resolution with 96kHz sampling, 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 fnd 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-model-ing 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.
A new 3D Z-pedal takes performance to the next level by allowing conventional up/down and sideways pedal movement. Assign up to four parameters in each axis of pedal movement for complex sound control patterns.
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 the computer with a USB cable (sold separately) and use the high-quality sound of the G9.2tt 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 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 BOOST control spruces up highs and lows, resulting in more transparency. Enjoy a powerful tone also when recording directly to a line input or via USB on a computer.
ZFX-3 - a 32-bit DSP designed by ZOOM
The heart of any multi-effect device is its processor and decoder section. ZOOM has started a fresh chapter with its new ZFX-3 chip. The 32-bit architecture ensures outstanding performance and allows smooth and detailed signal processing. Accuracy and speed ensure that even delicate picking and fingering work come across with impressive clarity.
DSP Sound Modeling Plus Tube Circuitry Create The Ultimate In Distortion
96 kHz sampling and 24-bit A/D/A conversion assure super high resolution sound. An abundance of signal processing power allows accurate recreation of the complex upper-range harmonics that are the hallmark of tube amplifiers. Analog circuitry using a 12AX7 tube then adds that classic warmth and sonic impact to the DSP sound. The result combines the best of the digital and analog worlds: distortion so advanced and sophisticated it elevates your guitar playing to the next level.
Preamp Section With Two Channels
The preamp section, comprised of the amp/drive-modeling, and EQ modules offers two channels per patch. You can easily select a channel by simple foot switch operation. Toggle between a Fender clean sound for rhythm and a Marshall drive sound for lead, while keeping modulation and spatial effect settings the same. The user interface with analog knobs lets you shape the sound with the same facility as on a guitar amp.
Great For Stage Work Or Direct Recording
The amp/drive-modeling blocks have two dedicated algorithms for each amp/drive type, designed for live playing and direct recording. The CABINET effect simulates amp and mic recording characteristics as well, and the algorithm is automatically switched according to the CABINET on/off setting.This lets you bring the same guitar sound that you used during practice or recording right on to the stage. Alternatively, sound settings that were determined during a session with the band can be used seamlessly in the studio as well.
Amp Select Feature
This function optimizes frequency response to match the amp that you are using. Settings are available to get the best out of popular models such as Roland JC-120, a Fender combo, and a Marshall stack. The -10 dBm/+4 dBm output level switch allows the G9.2tt to be used as a preamp, directly connected to the power amp input of a guitar amplifier.
6-band Graphic Equalizer
The built-in EQ module has six frequency bands optimized for electric guitar. Peaking type filters in the crucial middle range (400 Hz, 800 Hz, 3. 2 kHz, 6.4 kHz) are augmented by shelving type filters at the low and high end (160 Hz and 12 kHz). This ensures the shortest possible route from inspiration to actual sound.
Guitar Amplifier/Stomp Box Modeling
Analog devices such as tubes and diodes have unique clipping characteristics. Sophisticated digital simulation finally makes it possible to recreate the sound of vintage tube amps and effect devices with astonishing realism. From popular names such as Fender, Marshall, and VOX to modern amps including MESA BOOGIE, Hughes & Kettner, and Diezel - the list of choices is extensive. The cabinet simulator even has settings for mic position, to achieve totally natural sounding performance.
32-bit Processing For A Wide Choice Of High-Quality Guitar Sound Effects
Ranging from trusty old standards to advanced choices for specialized needs, the effect collection of the G9.2tt comprises 120 effects in 10 modules. Pick an MXR Dynacomp, famous for its unusual compression action, or select wah pedal simulations such as VOX and CRYBABY. Choose from three types of chorus for creating a solid, wide sound stage. Access seven types of reverb with transparent, unblurred sound. And the list goes on: tremolo with selectable modulation waveform, bend chorus with individual pitch bending, harmonized pitch shifter, multi-tap delay even reverse delay. These professional quality effects will fuel the creativity of every guitarist. The preamp section and wah/filter effects allow changing the module insert position for even more advanced tonal control.
Preset Patches Ready To Use For Recording Or Live Performance
Whether you are after a true-blue vintage tone or fat high-gain sound, you will find a choice here. There are settings that accurately simulate well-known amps and stomp boxes, settings that are modeled on the signature sound of famous guitarists, as well as totally original ZOOM effect sounds. The past and the future of guitar sound is right there at your fingertips. The G9.2tt comes preprogrammed with a total of 80 preset patches. For creative leeway, a user area capable of storing the same number of patches is also provided.
