Zoom have launched the G2 four, and G2 Four X.
Looks like it is based on the G1 Four with more foot switches, USB interface and a new housing.

 

I await the release of the B2 Four …

From a quick review of the spec it seems to be a significant step up in processing power/memory from the G1 Four (and by implication the B1-4) e.g. can have up to 7 FX in the signal chain vs 5 for G1-4, 300 vs 50 memory patches, 80s vs 30s looper. But also nearly 3x the price.

Yeah, same idea and probably same sounds but ‘more’ in most regards. I can see people still preferring the G1 in some ways but it looks like a welcome middle ground between the G1 and G6. A B2 four would be great.

I wish they'd go for a slighlt less carbon/stealth styling on their casing - I just think it looks a less like a pro-tool and more gimicky as a result.

Totally agree.

I have a B3n and bought a B6 to try, not enough added features for the cost so returned the B6. If this comes out at a decent price (£200ish) it's possible i'd upgrade.

I have the B6 and it looks lovely. 

Maybe they're better in the flesh 🤷‍♂️

I had one for a short while - it's a brilliant little thing and I think it's definitely just my aesthetic taste that's the issue! I'm actually considering trying it again as I want something with a drum machine in it for practice

The B1-4 has the Zoom drum machine, which I think is a standard set of drum patterns / rhythms that are used across quite a few of their multifx pedals. I use mine for practice, too. Will save you a few quid compared to the B6.

Cheers - I’ll take a look

Out of interest, how do you find the compressor(s)? Were I to try this again, ideally I’d use it stand alone so would consider dropping the Cali76 CB.

They have a good choice of comps. From the simple one button squasher to the more complex multi control style. 

I think they work very well but I've never used the Cali so can't compare.

The easiest thing for Zoom to do would be to do what they’ve now done with the G11 and just make all the bass effects available for this… no need for a new product just an update. That would do it for me anyway.
