depende sa pandinig at taste mo yan bro. may gusto akong tunog sa digitech na wala ang zoom at meron din ang zoom na tunog na wala ang digitech. depende yan. pero naka zoom ako kasi mas sanay ako dito at nagagawa naman ng zoom ko ang trabaho nya.  :wink:

Medyo biased ako sa Digitech e, pero nakagamit na rin ako ng ibang Zoom pedals kaso yung maliliit lang. So far ok naman yung sounds nung Zoom

kung maayos mong ite-tweak, pansin ko lang na compared to the same kind of compact multifx as Digitech, medyo mas detailed and warm yung sa

Digitech, although baka sa tweak ko lang din yun. Try mo nang sabay kung may pagkakataon tapos saka ka mag-decide.

I have a zoom G2.1NU and a digitech RP-350 and as for me masmaganda ang modulations ng G2.1NU. Zoom's chorus, flanger, phaser and pitchshifter sounds decent for me compared to the digi's. Plus, on zoom you can adjust the modulation rate with respect on the rhythmic tempo. Sa delay naman, you can stack the delays on G2.1NU which is very useful for me. what i like on the RP-350 is its amp and cab models, very organic yung low-gain tones for me. depende lang talaga sa intended applications mo bro. If modulation is the only thing to be considered i will go for zoom G-series.

tama siya sir..
User ako ng zoom since nung nagstart ako mag guitar (505II,707,GFX,G7.1ut)
Ung modulations ng mga bagong zooms ngayon are really good.
I just owned a Digitech RP-255 last august and the thing na nagustuhan ko nga dun is magkahiwalay ung Drive effects sa Amp and cab sims. And mas trip ko ung tunug ng drive ng mga Digitech.

Just my opinion.. hehe :-D

I think DigiTech wins when it comes to their high end MFXs.

for me digitech.

why? mas advance yung ibang effects nya kesa sa zoom. masyado na kasing naging digital ang tunog ng zoom. IMO. lalo na yung latest models nila. (wala pong maooffend na zoom users ah?) pero sa sobrang in demand ng zoom ngayon,yung mass production nila parang di masyadong maganda. ayon lang sa preferance ko. then mas maganda yung bypass mode ng digitech kesa zoom. ok ang zoom but digitech is different.

+1 hehe.. i've tried kasi korg,digitech and zoom multi's but ZOOM stands out for me.. need nga lang to be modded because mejo sirain yung mga switch lalo yun mini buttons.but still sounds really good.. kun magaling kalang magtweak you can make it transparent. i try also to loop it para true bypass.. sarap gamitin sa mixed effects, phase at flanger nya like boss ph2 and bf2. trem nya slice na slice.. yung dirt diko ginagamit. when it comes to delay. halos diko na ginagamit Boss dd6 ko, sa reverse ko lang sya nagagamet, vol swell at modulation g2 gamit ko..  :lol:  

favorite ko yung pingpong delay..hehe.. galloping .. :wink:

btw: mahavishnu mod m g2.. bakal na yung switch nya kea no problems nako sa mga sira.. sobrang linis ng gawa. Thanks Sir Erwin!  

zoom g-series for me..  :-D

For me:

Digitech GNX series VS. Zoom GFX series

Winner: Zoom 

Zoom sounds more analog, better construction and easier to use. i used to own a 707II, GFX4 and a GFX5 and a lot of friends had the GFX8.

Digitech RP Series VS. Zoom G Series

Winner: Digitech

The digitech has better amp models and drive settings. the zoom improved a lot, but i like the digitech RPs better now. as the guy a few posts above me said, their advancements are better.

Aesthetically, the Zoom G series looks too futuristic for me. i like the rugged look of the RPs. the other way around for the GFX vs. GNX.

Zoom has good modulations pero tamang overdrives lang, kinda thick

modulations good ang zoom, kahit yung whammy like thing. pwede na din

nice review sir. ganyan din sasabihin ko although naka zoom g2nu ako.

btw guys hindi ibig sabihin ng better ang isa e yung isa holy crap na a. hahaha! may ilan ilang drive (dirt) din ang zoom na masarap gamitin lalo na pag natimpla ng maayos.

why zoom pinili ko? kasi mas sanay ako dito chaka magagamit ko din sya for live dahil sa pre-selection patch. malaking bagay sakin yun. dun lang nagkatalo kung bakit ko pinili zoom. chaka mas naangasan ako sa LCD malaki na e. soundwise pasado naman 8/10 basta timplado ng matino a.

ng dahil lang sa pre-selection or patch-call mode for live performances. double purpose kasi ako.  :wink:
