Aren’t there enough around? Maybe, but Zoom has been making these for a very long time and it’s about time there was a successor to the G5n. 2 How is this different to the G5n?

review ZOOM G11 The treadle can be assigned to an effect in Zoom’s pedal category THE RIVALS Considering that a major asset of Zoom’s G11 is its footswitching setup, its nearest equivalents really have to be units that are similarly endowed with plenty of footswitches and a treadle. Line 6’s Helix LT (£989) and the HeadRush Pedalboard (£739 street price), with its seven-inch touch display, or even the older Boss GT-1000 (£799 street price) all fall into that particular category.
