Introduction
Thank you very much for purchasing a ZOOM Multi-Effects Processor.
This multi-effect processor has a variety of effects, including reverb, chorus and distortion, that can be
used in combination to alter the sound. Effect combinations and parameter settings can be saved as patch
memories to be recalled and used whenever you like. First, try switching through the preset patch memo-
ries to experience how they affect the sound.
Understanding the features of each effect is important for making them most of them and designing your
own sounds. By turning off the effects in a preset patch memory one at time, you should be able to quick-
ly learn their roles. If understanding how a sound is being changed is difcult, try turning off all but one
of the effects and adjusting its parameters as you play. The order of the effects also impacts the sound.
Experimenting with the effect order could bring you closer to your desired sound.
This Multi-Effects Processor allows you to easily enjoy a variety of sounds.
We hope you will enjoy using it for many years.
Main features of the
Craft sounds intuitively with easy operations
Quick intuitive sound creation is possible with operation just like a compact effect/stomp box.
MAA-1 mic adapter
The effects can also be applied to an acoustic instrument by connecting a mic with an XLR connector
using the MAA-1. Moreover, phantom power (+48V) can be supplied, allowing use with clip-on mics and
other condenser microphones.
Effect sounds that are optimized for use with acoustic instruments
In addition to core effects from our most recent G Series, this processor includes well-regarded acoustic
guitar effects from our AC Series as well as effects optimized for a variety of acoustic instruments. Perfor-
mance using effects is possible free of worry about feedback by using the anti-feedback effect, Moreover,
using the free Guitar Lab effect management application on a computer (Mac/Windows), you can add ef-
fects that are distributed online as well as edit and back up patch memories, for example.
Rhythm patterns with great versatility
Simple rhythm patterns that can be used with a variety of genres are built in.
30-second looper
Sound-on-sound performance is possible using the looper capable of recording up to 30 seconds. More-
over, this is convenient when using acoustic instruments that are loud unamplied because putting the
looper at the beginning of the effect chain allows sound to be played once, then looped and manipulated
without additional playing.
Equalization (EQ) can be quickly adjusted to suit performance conditions
In MEMORY and STOMP modes, 3 EQ (Lo/Mid/Hi) knobs and a volume (Vol) knob can be used to adjust
the output. These enables quick adjustments even if the performance environment changes.
Long operation on batteries
Continuous operation for about 18 hours is possible using 4 AA batteries (when the LCD backlight is off).
