How badly does this pedal suck tone in bypass? Thats my main concern

Well. If you're using it on battery supply you've GOT to change the batt. Often, when the battery starts going dead, the range of tonal change decreases dramatically. I was playing with mine once when the battery got real low and it only had two different sounds. Now, with a fresh battery its great. As far as "sucking tone" i would say its a mediocre problem.

It depends, for example; I set my clean to A1, and my distortion to A2, my lead to A3, and special effect to A4 and A0. Stepping through the channels and coming through clean takes practice but it can be done. This is a decent pedal to toy with, but I would consider Zooms later models that offer more at the same price point.

It's very common for any pedal with some built in distortion settings. If set too high you will get this problem. May need a noise gate in your chain of effects.

I sold mine too as it hums like crazy. I bought the Zoom G1XN Guitar Multi Effects Pedal from Amazon instead. This one has so many good stuffs. I love to use it each time I play guitar in the church. It acts as a great preamp even with effect turned OFF.

To elaborate on my previous post, and to answer the question, it sounds fine at low volume if you're looking for clean sounds. I needed a louder amp which is why I chose this model. Best thing to do is find one locally and take it for a test drive.

I have not found good acoustic simulation on any pedal, analog or digital, including on the Zoom G3X. When I try it it sounds blarey and unauthentic. I haven't run an acoustic through the Zoom, but if I did, I would run it in bypass mode, at least initially, since the sound you want resides in the acoustic and not in the effects. From there maybe I'd play with the equalizer effects if I felt the sound needed tweaking.

I wouldn't use it on an amp. It's sim's are kinds dry to my ears, even pumped through an amp. There are better pedals to consider.

High volume is going to be subjective, of course, and since I'm in an apartment, I'm not one to push too much. What I can say is that with the amp at 5 W, volume at 10, gain at 1, and with a Strat almost all the way up, it's pretty clean. If I use an LP clone with more signal, there's more crunch. So signal in affects the crunch and of course the volume. I've gotten clean sounds with this, but it's a balance between the signal in, the gain, and the volume. All that said, it is NOT an Fender Twin.

Nope, it sounds like your pedal is faulty and needs to be replaced/fixed. Send it back.

I'm not sure on a technical level how much signal boost this pedal can provide, and I've seen nothing online either, but I've used it straight into a PA without a guitar amp (it's an amp simulator so that sounds pretty good) and it had more than enough signal to work with.

This is a very good pedal for the price. 96/24 sampling is plus. Relative to mixing analog and digital pedals in a series chain: I would not do this. I would stay pure analog. That's just my opinion - no data to back it up. Just the idea that every added AD/DA conversion in the chain loses audio quality. (Many people would disagree with this.) An alternative would be to use analog pedal in series, then use the Z2 via an effects loop from a mixer.

I believe there is an input for a separetly purchased sustain pedal. Hope this helps!

To be honest I'm really not sure. I am a beginner guitar player and don't have too much experience with pedals yet. Sorry

This amp has loop effects, send and return, so you can use it pluggin in the last position of chain of pedal effects. But sure, the tone will change a little like chorus if you get drive or distortion, but in clean it is ok.

The one button on the pedal switches between the clean channel and the distorted channel and the other button between regular and lead boost. The thing to keep in mind about the amp itself is that there are three clean settings and three overdriven settings, and the pedal doesn't switch between the three in each category. Hope this helps!

the wire crossed in the pedal, or in your home? if in the pedal you look at the company on amazon and contact as you would if you had a question on specifications.hope this helps ya there 10-4

There is no problem with this pedal. I bought mine on a referral from the drummer in Candle Light Red. This is a bad @ss pedal!
