THE ZOOM G11

Multi-Effects Processor for Guitarists

Designed by Creators

At Zoom, we’ve been designing Multi-Effects for guitarists for over 30 years. The G11 represents the culmination of our engineering and passion.  

Let Your Creativity Soar

Our best engineers took the tonal qualities of the greatest amps in history, combined them, and crafted all new amp models designed to give you new palettes of tone, to take your creativity to a whole new level.

Effects You Love + More

In addition to the classic effects you love, the G11 offers brand new Distortion and Modulation effects, unlocking endless new tone possibilities.

More Cabinet Sounds Than Ever

The G11’s 22 cabinet emulations contain 70 preloaded impulse response (IR) options, that were captured with different microphones and in various positions, providing you a wide spectrum of cabinet sounds to choose from. Additionally, you can import up to 130 of your own IR ‘s.

Touch And Go

Your sounds may be complex but building them shouldn’t be. With easy-to-use, application driven technology, the G11’s 5-inch colour touchscreen lets you drag, drop and swipe your way to new sounds.

It Feels Like Home

While the G11 is our most advanced pedal ever, it’s super familiar. From the stompbox control to the amp panel, you’ll feel like you’ve been here before. Take a full tour.

Customize Your Workflow

Ideal for live performance, Play by Patch lets you scroll through all of your patches.

Great for studio work, Play by Effect provides a complete visual representation of your custom pedal chain.

Organize your patches in song lists with Play by Bank for quick access to every sound for every song. 

Loop & Groove

With a 5-minute looper add layers to solo performances. Choose your groove from 67 built-in rhythm patterns in various genres and time signatures.

Return to Sender

Add external mono and stereo effects, build parallel audio chains, and synchronize/trigger other devices via Midi.

Audio Interface

The G11 is a full-on audio interface for Mac and PC. Record directly to your favourite DAW via USB. Cubase LE is bundled in the box.

Guitar Lab 5.0

Wirelessly connect the G11 directly to the Zoom Guitar Lab app via BLE. With the optional BTA-1 adaptor, you can browse and upload/download an endless assortment of amps, effects and artists patches as provided on Guitar Lab software.

Zoom Originals

Krampus: Combines the brightness of an 80's British amp, with the solid low range of a modern high gain amp.

Redloom: Merges the simple tone of early guitar amps with the rich overtones of a 60's tube amp, perfect for rhythm guitar.

Velvet: Provides a smooth character that balances the dynamic response between the wound and plain strings, enabling you to play both lead and rhythm without switching amp channels.

Muddy:  Delivers a vintage amp sound perfect for gritty Blues.

7 Heaven: Combines a very tight low end with expanded dynamic response, perfect for 7 and 8 string guitars.

Pollex: With extreme drop-tuning, this amp is designed for slap-playing or the heavy-metal sound of Djent.

New Distortion Effects

Razor Drive: Using Comb filtering Razor Drive controls the sound saturation by boosting the filter and therefore distortion, at each frequency point of resonance. This processing creates a new distortion never before heard.

Wave Shaper: Applies a new original algorithm to shape the waveform and create a unique sound extremely rich in harmonics.

New Modulation Effects

PolyShift: Adds subtle sound variances over a two-octave range to deliver a modern pitch shifting effect.

Geminos: A real-time doubling effect that adds thickness and width by triple overdubbing the original dry signal. This reproduces a random organic texture when playing chords and powerful sustain for solos.

SwellVibe: Unlike any standard vibrato which starts modulating the signal from the start, SwellVibe applies pitch modulation with a time lag affecting only the sustain of your sound. It inspires unconventional ways for playing ambient pads.
