The G3 does look very interesting, love all those deep parameters, competition for the Line 6 M9. I don't see myself going there I am still loving the AdrenaLinn III for studio guitar sounds and freaky modulation and delay effects.

Another huge zoom fan here. I have two 506mk1's including one of the first into the UK I bought it on the day it came out and it's stayed on my pedal board ever since. I don't care what people say to me they're the best. I've used that zoom at places like hammersmith Apollo, Glasgow SECC and many more while supporting bands like Styx and Dokken. I bought a spare just incase, I've also had the 505 and 3000b models and now I've dumped seperates for multi-fx and I'm sure you can guess which! I bought the boss gt6B three times over the years and each time went back to my pedals and zoom and now it's all about my zoom B9.1. Amazing bit of kitplugged into my Little mar 2 and barefaced midget/compact stack it just rules!!
No number needed. Just wanted to chip in
Further to this post I thought I'd add that now a year later my two 506mk1's are still in my backup stuff box, and I've picked up a zoom b1x for lightweight carrying into town gigs and a zoom g7.1ut for guitar gigs; and the 9.1 is still as awesome as ever!
I forgot to mention I've owned the b2.1 also
I run my B2 in the effects loop of my B9 so I can have access to effects combos I cannot otherwise.
I just got a secondhand zoom b1x from my friend just about 3-4 months ago
my number please?
--edit--
It's got nice amp simulation for me, nice EQ, wah, resonance filter, pitch shifter, pitch bending (like what whammy does), octaver, noise reduction, fairly nice synthesizer and ring modulator
but the marshall amp simulator and the synth can't played at high gain, or it's will sound like unfocused, harsh and so digital
also the synth got bad tracking

Yup. The synth and many of the amp models are pretty much unusable. As I said previously, I use it only for the delay/reverbs, pitch shifting and occasionally for the choruses (chorus, ensemble and detune), defretter or to get a 'clanky' tone by turning the pedal vox all the way up. The unit does these fairly well but I don't bank on the other features all that much.

Hard to do a search for short terms, is anybody in here rocking a R8? I ordered one the other day after weighing up lots of options (B2.1u, drum machine, Boss RC-3, etc.). Just looking for people's likes and dislikes.
