 great Dec 17, 2008
I got this for my brother and his 12 yr. old son. They LOVE it, it has given them so much quality time, my nephew is inspired to learn more so he can make some nirvana music. I so recomend it

 Great multi-fx Feb 03, 2008
I tested one of those in a music stores, and I must say it sounded better than I expected. It has a very convincing wah-wah sound, and the "heavy distortion" sounds sound just like more expensive amp simulating units, like a POD. The only problem I can see with this multi FX is it doesn't have as many amp emulations as a POD or a VAMP-2, but if it had I just wouldn't use all of them, so I recommend this. A great pedal for a budgeted bedroom guitar player!

Very solid, well designed unit Dec 25, 2007
I've had this unit for over a year now, and have used it for practicing (mainly through headphones, occasionally plugged in to my little Marshall MG15-CDR), a few jam sessions, and a bit of recording into GarageBand on my MacBook Pro.
On the positive side:
- Very solid construction.
- USB audio interface works great with GarageBand, both for input (guitar signal going to MacBook) and monitoring (listening to already recorded tracks plus the track your recording via the G2.1u's headphone output). When connected via USB, it gets power via USB too.
- Runs for several hours on 4AA batteries. I use rechargeables. (Never bothered with an external AC adapter).
- Excellent sound quality. All the fx sound quite good. The ZNR soft noise reduction really handy if you've got a bit of low-level hum/buzz from single-coil pickups.
- Pretty easy to dial in your own sounds.
A couple of downsides:
- No aux input! IMO this is *the* single missing feature that limits this units usefulness for practicing. I would love to be able to plug in iPod. (Thinking of buying a Line 6 Pocket POD for this).
- The cabinet / mic modelling doesn't sound very convincing to me.
- With only two foot switches for stepping up/down through your list of patches, it can be awkward switching patches in the middle of a tune (e.g. between rhythm and lead settings) unless you've stored them on adjacent patch numbers. Really no way around that without having a bigger box with more footswitches.
All in all, a nice unit, and good value. Probably most useful as a recording interface using the excellent USB audio interface. OK for for live use (with caveat about limited footswitches) and for practicing (as long as you don't want to jam along with your iPOD).

Update December 2008: I got myself a Vox Amplug AC-30 a while back. Fun little unit (if a bit overpriced for what it does) - plug it into your guitar, plug in a mp3 player & some headphones, and jam away. Turns out it can also be used to get around the G2.1u's lack of an Aux input.
Just plug the Amplug into the G2.1u's output, and connect your headphones and mp3 player to the amplug. With the right settings on the Amplug (at least the AC-30 version), the Amplug runs pretty clean, so at the Amplug's headphone output you hear essentially the same as you'd hear if you plugged your headphones directly into the G2.1u.
Obviously this is a bit of a kludge, but if you happen to have both units, this is an option...
