The product's chasis is medal while the two pedals are a combination of the former and plastic. Because of the tubes and metal chasis, the pedal is kind of heavy and awkward to carry. I wouldn't want to drop the pedal for fear of the tubes breaking. Other than that, however, the pedal is really well-built, and the pedals are excellent for volume control and expression. The Z-Pedal, a 3-dimensional pedal exclusive to the G9.2tt, allows you to further customize expression. I've yet to fully utilize this new feature, but I can say that the Z-Pedal does pose some interesting possibilities.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I've only had the pedal for about a month, but I don't see the thing breaking down for a few years, perhaps even longer!
General
Your general opinion of this product.
Another, older guitar player introduced me to the Zoom brand of pedal. I started out with the G9's baby brother, the G2Nu. After months of playing with the G2, I was extremely satisfied. The only disappointment came from the G2Nu's lack of an expression pedal. When I saw the G9.2tt, I immediately said: "It must be mine."
While the additional knobs and parameters took some getting used to, the transition from the G2Nu to the G9 was almost seamless and relatively easy. Since buying the pedal, I have replicated all the tones I had on the G2Nu and dialled them into the G9.2tt.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
It is heavy. Controls can be kidn of frustrating at first. But, with a little studying of the manual, anyone can figure this bad boy out.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
This pedal has the possibilitiy for any tone you want.
Finish

The pedal console overall is sleek and sexy. This thing will look good no matter what amp you have it wired to!
Action
How was the action out of the box?
The sounds out of the box were quite satisfying, but still left something to be desired. However, I hardly use defaults.

I have a Zoom 3030, but I left it back home, so I needed a replacement. I got this. I can't be happier. Between this product and my Epiphone Nighthawk, I can get any sound imaginable.
Playability and Feel

The knobs are stiff but sturdy. Pedals feel firm. The nine foot switches make it easy to control the individual effects. You can't ask for more.

Very rugged, to which I was very surprised as I own other Zoom stuff (2 pedals and 2 drum/ rhythm machines which have held up moderately well but are typically made of plastic and the durability is limited in my experience.
The G92TT is made of steel I think, and is pretty heavy duty and probably weighs 10-12 pounds nice for something you are using you're feet on.

Amazed how great a value this is. Relatively simple if you look at how the board is physically laid out much less confusing than the average.
Playability and Feel

As mentioned earlier is made of steel I think, and feels very sturdy under your feet. Doesn't have that toy feel that some other zoom stuff has, This has that indestructible feel like a Boss pedal.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Everything you can imagine and then some. With this if you were on a budget you could get by with a crappy but loud amp, and a moderately priced computer and use this as an interface to record, and the crappy but loud amp as your live rig.

Alot of the presets just show off what the pedal can do, so you will need to do some tweaking to find a sound you like, but don't get too frustrated. With enough adjustment, you can pull off just about any tone, it won't be perfect, but it will be convincing enough.

This is the best effects unit I have owned in over 30 years of playing, including Boss pedals and Korg and ART effects units. I use it mainly with the Surf Rock and Fender patches, for recording with a made in Mexico Fender Telecaster into a Zoom R16 recorder with the R16 recorder's insert guitar effects. This combination lets me record anything from slightly to heavy breaking Fender tube sounds I have been searching for, for many years.

It took a while to learn to tweak the patches with the knobs by trial and error to fit my guitar and recorder. But it was worth it. I played with the software but don't think I need to use it.
