Zoom H6 - Record electric guitar with pedals

Music: Practice & Theory Asked by giac on September 16, 2020

I was wondering how the Zoom H6 recorder performed when recording "heavy" electric guitar. I would like to plug my electric guitar plus some pedals (Whammy, Delay, Reverb & Big Muff) and mix it on my computer.

It seems possible to plug the guitar directly into the Zoom.
Do you have any experience using the Zoom as a Audio Interface?

One Answer

The H6 offers Mic and Line inputs. If your effects chain ends up at Line level you can connect it directly. If it ends up at "guitar" level, you'll need to run it through something that makes it look like a Line or Mic source first.

"All four main H6 inputs (inputs 1-4) are combo connectors that can accept either XLR or ¼” balanced or unbalanced phone cables. They can handle both mic- and line-level signals, which means that you can connect either external microphones or line-level devices like mixers, portable music players, electronic keyboards, or electric guitars or basses with active electronics (passive electric guitars or basses can also be connected with the use of a mixer or effects device)."
