Zoom GCE-3 Guitar Lab Circuit Emulator

The Zoom GCE-3 Guitar Lab Circuit Emulator is ideal for the guitar-recording guitarist on the go. Zoom GCE-3 Guitar Lab Circuit Emulator even offers latency-free, direct monitoring! Plenty of guitar tones are available and editable right on the unit itself via its 32-bit DSP — tone-sculpting duties handled by the unit, not your computer with rack upon rack of plug-ins for amp simulations, EQs, compressors and effects processors. Overdub tracks are easy since your guitar signal is latency-free into your computer.

This interface connects to your computer over USB-C. In the box is a USB-C to USB-A cable so the GCE-3 can work with conventional USB ports. With the AUX input, you can route backing tracks into the headphones while recording only the guitar part to your computer. Change your monitoring volume from the device itself, thanks to a dedicated volume control. When you pair the GCE-3 with the ZOOM Guitar Lab app, you'll have access to the same tones you'll find in all ZOOM G-series pedals. You'll even have the ability to download constantly updated patches through the NEWS section of the app. The app is compatible with Mac and Windows platforms. A nonslip pad is included along with a license of Cubase LE for recording and editing your guitar.
