G5 switching between patches made easier?

Post by Geezerrocks » Fri Nov 02, 2012 8:01 pm

Before I buy this unit I need to find out if there is an after-market unit or some way to make this pedal switch between banks and patches on the fly. I've not actually seen one yet so I've not tested it for my self, but every review I've read warns about how slow the G5 is switching between banks and then presets. Any solutions? I play in a worship band that transitions quickly from one song to the next ~ speed and ease is essential. Thanx

G5 is tad bit slow to change between patches(i guess by half a second) and it requires getting used to change between banks(which in my opinion is cumbersome)...Hope this helps u :)

Slight clarification, the Zoom G5 has the fastest patch change time of any processor out there right now (1.6 ms). Half a second would be 500 ms so this statement is not quite true.
