An expression pedal gives you real-time control over effects parameters, while the built-in looper allows you to lay down rhythm tracks and solo over them. With 68 drum patterns covering multiple time signatures, you'll never run out of jamming partners. Save your favorite combinations of effects and amp models in up to 50 user presets for instant recall via the easy-to-use interface.

Dial in the Perfect Tone With 70+ Effects and 13 Amp Models
Whether you're into metal, jazz, blues or country, the G1X FOUR has you covered. Choose from authentic-sounding amp models like Fender, Marshall and VOX, then add modulation, delay, reverb and distortion effects to craft your signature sound. With up to five simultaneous effects, the possibilities are nearly endless. The easy-to-read display makes it simple to adjust effect levels and parameters to your liking.
Take Control in Real Time With the Expression Pedal
The built-in expression pedal unlocks the full potential of the G1X FOUR, providing continuous control over volume, wah, delay time and other effect parameters as you play. Transition smoothly from a subtle chorus to a deep phaser swoosh or make gradual changes to distortion and EQ settings for dynamic tone shaping on the fly. The pedal's tension can also be adjusted to your preferred stiffness, ensuring a natural feel underfoot.
Craft Multi-Part Arrangements With the 30-Second Looper
Lay down a rhythm track or chord progression with the looper, then solo over the top. With up to 30 seconds of recording time, you have enough space to create intros, verses, choruses and more. The looper is a great tool for practice, performance and spurring new ideas. Sync your loops to the built-in drum patterns for a full-on jam session.
68 Drum Patterns Provide Rhythmic Backing
Whether you want a simple 4/4 beat or a complex 7/8 groove, the G1X FOUR has you covered with 68 drum patterns to choose from. The drum sounds are high quality and natural, providing solid rhythmic foundations for practice, performance and songwriting. Sync the drum patterns to your looper tracks for a complete backing band at your feet.

The perfect "first guitar pedal" for beginners
For several years now, my pedalboard has had only ONE guitar "FX" pedal. First it was the G1Xon. Now it's the G1Xfour. I play both acoustic AND electric thru the pedal, and they BOTH sound great! Though I've played for over 40 years, I'm not a professional musician and rarely play out; but I do play a lot at home and IMO this is the best VALUE "name brand" guitar multi-FX pedal on the market. It's super affordable, very easy to use, sounds terrific, and is a total blast to play. In fact, this is the FIRST of TWO guitar pedals I recommend for every novice guitarist. Checkout my video links below for a quick start on G1Xfour pedal, and why it's one of the two first pedals I recommend.

Poor design
poorly designed too easy to overwrite existing effects and who designs an electrical device without an on off switch have to take a battery out to turn off or unplug from the wall and you have to unplug from the unit and plug into the amp when unit is off. It's a major hassle to use

I use it at home for practice . Im still learning all the effects the unit has included for presets. I also will be looking up the website for other effects. The unit is small so it's a nice addition for home use. At 75 years of age I think this unit is all I will need to keep me busy
Lots of features for the money
