Zoom Launches New Line of Artists’ Signature Pedals

Zoom has created a line of multi-effects pedals inspired by three world-renowned guitar virtuosos that feature guitar sounds from American rock veterans George Lynch and John 5 in the G2G and the G1J signature pedals. Zoom has also released the G1K signature pedal by Brazilian guitarist Kiko Loureiro.

With George Lynch’s G2G, anyone can emulate the famous guitar sounds of “Mr. Scary” and “Dream Warriors”, along with a plethora of other tones. The G2G provides 40 patches created by George Lynch himself along with 40 patches for the user to fill with their own creations.

Guitarist John 5 has compiled a collection of his favorite and most innovative guitar tones for the G1J pedal, including “American Witch” and the warped, apocalyptic sound of “Dooms Day.” The G1J offers 40 patches emulating John 5’s choice sounds and 40 open to the user’s creativity.

Emerging from Sao Paulo Brazil, Kiko Loureiro’s G1K offers the clean, jazzy bossa sound of “Bossa Nova”, the metal tapping sound from Angra’s “Nova Era” along with many other sounds ranging from thick rhythms to violin emulation. Like both the G2G and the G1J, the G1K has 40 patches created by Kiko and 40 patches available to be filled by the user.

These three guitarists have the perfect creative energy to fuel a line of signature effects pedals. In addition to international acclaim, hall-of-fame resumes and enviable talent, these men personify versatility with an exceptional range of guitar sounds. Designed to incorporate and inspire, the new signature pedals combine the style and feel of three rock prodigies with the effects expertise of Zoom.
