Zoom A1X FOUR Acoustic Instruments Multi Effects Pedal Overview
Designed not just for acoustic guitar but for an impressive array of acoustic string and wind instruments, the Zoom A1X FOUR is the bigger brother to the A1 FOUR, adding an expression pedal and an extra 10 effects. On board you will find dazzling effects to enhance your sound and explore new sonic territory with this amazing system designed with all of the following in mind:
- Acoustic Guitar
- Saxophone
- Trumpet
- Violin
- Harmonica
- Upright & Acoustic Bass
With over 90 built-in effects and a feedback filter (and a tuner, of course!), the Zoom A1X FOUR would be impressive enough, but included in that are dedicated effects for each of the instruments above and an expression pedal for next-level creativity. You can use up to 5 effects at once - in any order you want - and store your custom designed effects in any one of up to 50 patches for user-created settings. However, it doesn’t stop there. For acoustic guitar you have access to proper impulse response modelling of world-famous models of guitars so you can instantly re-create the sound of some of your favourite artists.
Just in case all of that creative potential wasn’t quite enough, the Zoom A1X FOUR also includes a 30-second looper and a rhythm generator that can be used in conjunction with the looper with 68 in-built patterns tailored for acoustic styles of music. The real icing on the cake is that the A1X FOUR works seamlessly with Zoom’s Guitar Lab Software to make it even easier to create, edit and manage all of your effects and patches.
The optional addition of the Zoom MAA-1 microphone adapter can be used with dynamic and condenser mics to provide hassle-free connection to the A1X FOUR
