I have Zoom G1XN ext. My guitar effect just lit "Gn" and can't change to Bank memmory. I need the circuit diagram and service code for Zoom G1XN ext whom can help and send to my email [email protected]

Have you tried to reset the unit? You can do this by holding save button for few seconds while connecting your adaptor to g1x/g1xn. Then the indicator will blink, then push save button again,this will reset your unit into its factory settings

Zoom g1xn electric guitar multi effects pedal WHEN PLUGGED IN TO WALL DOESNT LIGHT UP BOUGHT ON EBAY SHOULD IT PWER UP WJHEN PLUGGED INTO POWER SORCE OR DOES IT NEED TO BE PLUGGED IN TO GUITAR ALSO

The guitar needs to be plugged into it, to turn the unit on. A full manual can be found here for that Zoom model:

G1x does not come on. Would be so grateful for the circuit diagram/schematic. Even more grateful if you can add the schematic of ZOOM g2.1u as I have several problems. My email is [email protected]

You need to replace the power resistor R54:

Is the unit old?? Is it stored in an environment that has temperature fluctuations?? It could be the terminals on the input of the unit have dry jointed. This is when the solder lifts away from the circuit board. I have had the same problem on my ZOOM MRS1608 recording desk. Resolder the connections on the input. The base plate will problably remove easy enough to get to the point where the adapter is soldered onto the circuit board.

Good luck

Hi.why my zoom g1x has no power.im using a universal adator...i am in phillpines.power volts here..220 volts.how is the setting of my adaptor then?

I have a ZOOM GX1XN and it doesn't like universal adapters much. Using one with the wrong voltage or polarity may permanently damage your pedal. Try to obtain a proper ZOOM AC adapter (part number AD-0006 or AD-16) if possible. These are dual voltage and will work equally well with both 220 and 110 volts. Failing that you need an adapter that will give a DC (direct current) output of 9 volts at 0.5amps - maximum 4.5 watts. The outer contact (sleeve) of the adapter needs to be positive (+ve) and the inside contact negative (-ve). Lots of universal adapters are the other way around with the sleeve being negative - but some have a multi-connector on the end with both positive and negative sleeves.

I've only been using my pedal for 2 hours and i think the wah pedal is broken. When i step on the pedal, there is no wah effect. Is it broken?

Do you use the zoom-G1X? Try this:

G1X not working

The first thing to check is the power source. A weak battery or adapter will cause this.
Beyond checking these the only other problems will be internal and require electronic servicing.,

If you're using an adaptor other than the original zoom, make sure it's 300mA or more and try switching the polarity.

explain about the switching the polarity..is adapter has polarity?? o.O
Mosh Oct 24, 2011

Yes, if you have a generic adaptor instead of the original it should either have a polarity switch marked + / - or on a multi-adaptor you may change the polarity by unplugging the DC pin and reversing it (again there should be +/- markings). Getting these the wrong way around will stop your pedal from working.

If you do have the original adaptor this does not apply.

The Manual clearly states that the center pin of the adaptor is minus and the outer sleeve is the positive. Also, it is wise to use a good quality, preferably regulated, 9V adapter. Some cheap adapters are marked 9V DC but can give as much as 15V!
