Zoom 8080 - Using the RTM Function

Using CONTROL pedals 1 and 2 to continuously adjust parameters such as volume or wah can be very effective
during a performance. To do this, the following steps are required.
• In the TOTAL module, select the effect module to be assigned to CONTROL pedal 1 and 2.
• Within the selected effect module, select the parameter to be controlled and the change direction.
The 8080 incorporates a so-called RTM (real-time modulation) function which lets the user change effect
parameters in real time. During a performance, the CONTROL pedals 1 and 2 and the CONTROL switches can
be used to change previously determined effect module parameters.
