It appears that the G11 (G6/B6 likely too) model references additional effect categories:

cat-id cat-xid cat-name notes
26 0x1a SND-RET Send/Return
27 0x1b IR Impulse Response

The IR category name is tentative, as the category is only referenced in patch file as part of effect-id. E.g:

IR:0x1b000042
IR:0x1b000013
 8 PDL:DYN:AMP:IR :IR :DYN:DLY:REV:---:--- "007.MS RoomMic"

I could not locate any .ZD2 files which have such effect ids, see also #55. Usually IR modules chained after AMP, but may follow other modules, including another IR modules. The official G11 patch-list doc shows IR modules in the patch chains with some settings, but without any references to file. It's possible that the IR "modules" are generated internally per given IR waveform.

There are 43 IR modules listed across the G11 standard patches:

0x1b000011
0x1b000012
0x1b000013
0x1b000015
0x1b000018

As for the SND-RET, this is an internal category and contains the following modules:

file size ver category fxmodid name
FX_LOOP1.ZD2 3486 1.00 SND-RET 0x1a000010 FxLoop 1
FX_LOOP2.ZD2 3486 1.00 SND-RET 0x1a000011 FxLoop 2
STFXLOOP.ZD2 3486 1.00 SND-RET 0x1a000012 St.FxLoop
SEND1.ZD2 3486 1.00 SND-RET 0x1a000013 Send 1
SEND2.ZD2 3486 1.00 SND-RET 0x1a000014 Send 2
STSEND.ZD2 3486 1.00 SND-RET 0x1a000015 St.Send

STRETURN.ZD2 3486 1.00 SND-RET 0x1a000018 St.Return

Nice information.

One thing I didn't know before was that the 2 returns can be combined to create a stereo pair. I'm sure the Synth world would like to know about that...

The SND-RET effects (IR as well) must be tied to the hardware (G11/G6/B6), so I would not expect these effects to function on G1/B1/A1 FOUR nor G5n/G3n/B3n, as these lack the dedicated send/return jacks.

At least I won't be trying it, saving a chance of locking the device up...

However, the G11 is compatible with G5n-targeting ZD2 effects.

Of course the Send/Returns will need the hardware on the device, just mentioned as the MS-70CDR is the only Zoom effect unit with stereo inputs. This lets you pass stereo into the G11.

The G2Four also (apparently) has IR capability.
