Lamp floor footswitch
1/4 Inch Jack Female to Twin Mono
Soldering iron and solder wire
Cutter
Superglue
Phillips screwdriver
Procedure:
1. Open the lamp footswitch using Phillips screwdriver. Put loose screws in a pot to avoid losing it.
2. Cut the 1/4 Inch Jack Female to Twin Mono and strip the wire.
3. Prepare your soldering iron and always make sure that you got a holder to avoid fire or burning certain objects.
4. Solder the wires to the footswitch. Don't you worry there's no polarity on this one. Then superglue it so that it will hold the jack in place and avoid pulling the wires.
5. Close the lamp footswitch and tighten the screws. Then, you're good to go.
All you need now is to plug your amp and you will need an extra guitar lead to plug the footswitch into your amp.
1. Price - One of the most affordable multi-effects pedal in the market. To be blunt, it's really a cheap pedal (cheaper than buying a single branded stompbox). If you are a beginner and you are relying from your parents to buy your first effects pedal, I recommend that you ask for this one. It is very affordable that you can ask them to buy it for you and then you just pay them back on an instalment basis.
2. Battery option - Zoom G1xOn uses 4 AA batteries and can stay up to 20 hours of continuous play. Most individual stompbox pedals use 9V battery which is expensive. Another thing that's very useful when you got the battery option is when you have outdoor gigs and there's no power output for your effects pedal, you are safe with this one. Also when you're busking or small events outdoor in the garden or outside a shop, no need to look for power outlet.
3. Size - Small and lightweight, meaning it's good when you travel. It can fit in your gigbag or backpack. You can easily bring this anywhere. It's only the size of a netbook. You can buy a netbook bag and surely it will fit. Or, like what I did, I used an empty biscuit tin as a DIY hardcase for this pedal.
4. Headphone out - If you are a beginner and you don't have an amp or you only got practise amp and your mum or neighbour is complaining of the noise, well this is the answer. You can jam anytime. Just plug your guitar and connect your headset and you're good to go (you might need a 3.5 mm to 6.5 mm adapter). No need to buy or use a guitar amp.
5. Aux in - Another lovely feature of this pedal. All you need to do is to buy a 3.5 mm aux cable (earphone lead) to connect your phone/ipad or mp3 player to the effects pedal and start jamming along to a backing track or full track of the songs you like. You can even use your computer to jam along or learn songs by connecting it to your effects pedal.
6. Looper - The built-in looper allows you to record up to 30 seconds and your can overdub/overlay as many loop as you can. Also you got the option to use the built-in drum machine in combination with the looper. You can be a one-man band. There are lots of demos/tutorials online on how to use the looper.
7. Expression pedal - Normally, you will buy this separately. Good thing, it's already built-in on this pedal. If you are a beginner, you can save a lot of money because not only it's already there but you'll get the chance to explore and experiment on how to use this pedal. There's lots of option for this pedal, you can use it as Volume control, WahWah, Whammy pedal or even to adjust certain settings like modulation, gain, delay or tremolo. Very versatile pedal option.
8. Built-in tuner - Most of the multi-effects pedal and even new amps got built-in tuner nowadays. But, it's still handy if you got it on the floor. Especially during live performances. It's good to have a tuner ready anytime. And the tuner got option between bypass and mute mode. Meaning you can tune your guitar discretely on stage.
9. Amp simulation - Again, as mentioned above, the headphones out. The amp simulation is very good because if you dont have an amp yet and you're planning to buy one in the future, then this is the answer. You can choose between 22 amp models. You get the idea of what amp to buy in the future. Also when you are just jamming using the headphones out, you got a lovely jam because you can select an amp that you like most or amp that you need on a particular song.
10. Pedal chain - This is another neat option especially if you are a beginner. You can experiment on the arrangement of your pedals. You will learn a lot and also understand that changing pedal positions can have an impact on your tone and how your guitar would sound through an amp.
