Zoom added 54 effects to its G2 FOUR and G2X FOUR multi-effects pedals through Guitar Lab in October 2024, according to the maker's product page¹²³. The same page states that Guitar Lab is "now delivering 57 additional effects," and lists the October 2024 addition of 54 effects as the first entry in that running total¹²³.

The G2 FOUR and G2X FOUR are multi-effects pedals built around amp modeling and cabinet impulse responses. Zoom says the units are preloaded with 250 presets, and that players can build patches from over 100 effects, mixing and matching up to 7 effects per patch¹²³. Each amp model pairs with what Zoom calls Multi-layer IR technology; the maker says the impulse responses were captured from cabinets at 3 different volumes and are blended and activated based on the volume of the guitar¹²³.

Hardware includes cross key navigation switches intended for foot control, plus 4 rotary encoders for effect parameters and output settings¹²³. Zoom lists an 80 second looper, a rhythm machine with 68 beats, and USB recording to a computer or smartphone¹²³. The G2X FOUR adds an expression pedal for volume swells and wah¹²³. Both pedals ship with an AD-16 AC adapter and a Quick Tour¹²³.

The effects library is delivered through the Handy Guitar Lab for G2 FOUR app for iOS and Android, which Zoom says is available to purchase on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store¹²³. The page does not give a US price for the pedals or for the app.
