whether its crushing metal or classic 12 bar blues this little guy can handle it all. The construction is very rugged and sturdy, the foot switches have a nice resistance to them so there is no accidental change in tone in a live scenario. The amp models are decent and the effects can be edited quite easily. The zoom g3 can be easily hooked up to an expression pedal and to a computer. The zoom edit and share software allows you to edit and store patches using your computer. you can even record your guitar using the USB, which offers a very very low latency. It reacts positively to you rolling off your volume and going to a cleaner sound. you can easily run a stereo setup using the left and right outputs. The zoom g3 has a ground lift switch so there will be no grounding issues and unwanted noise. It also has a balanced line out (xlr) which can be routed to pre or post effects, this means you can record DI tracks while listening to processed tone while recording. A GOOD BUDGET EFFECTS PROCESSOR.
