Really good, but the (previous generation) G3X is far more versatile.
I ended up returning this pedal because I was disappointed with the additional limitations compared to the previous G3 (not "n") series. On the older G3s you could use up to 6 pedals, with the only limitation being that each had an invisible DSP "cost" and if you used too many advanced pedals (like 5 amps in a chain, or something) you would get an error until you replaced something. On the G3Xn I was often limited to 4 because many pedals -- including all of the amps, I think -- take up two "slots".
Also the number of pedals is significantly lower on the new series. I'd say the average "quality" of each pedal is higher (there are some really niche ones on the original series, and some that don't really sound great), but I'd prefer the variety, honestly. Even worse, the original series had a bunch "double" pedals, such as Delay/Reverb that would go into a single slot, but the "n" series does not so in practice I'm using 7 or even 8 virtual "pedals" on my G3.
At the end of the day I couldn't replicate the majority of the patches I had made on the G3, mostly because of the slot limitations, and that was very disappointing.
Also I had more trouble with the newer/different software. While the G3's "Edit and Share" software is kind of dated-looking, it is certainly powerful enough. And finally, the built-in DI is gone. This is a big loss for going on stage with a minimal rig.
All that having been said, the pedal does the job, sounds great, and the build quality is fantastic. For the price you still can't beat it. I just wish it wasn't functionally a downgrade from the older model.
Get a G3 or G3X instead if you can, even on eBay. If you want something that looks more professional on stage, or you aren't really worried about the reduced functionality/versatility, then go ahead and pick this up. It's still by far the best value effects pedal in production right now.
