A 1 A 9
Analog Delay
This effect simulates an analog delay with a long delay time of up to 5000 msec. The right-digit setting
values control the mixing ratio of the effect sound and the feedback amount.
P 1 P 9
Ping Pong Delay
This is a ping-pong type delay where the delay sound alternates between left and right. The right-digit setting
values control the mixing ratio of the effect sound and the feedback amount.
R 1 R 9
Reverse
This is a special delay where the effect sounds as if playing in reverse. Maximum delay time is 2500 msec.

TIME (Prm2)
Controls parameter 2 of the DELAY module. The setting range is different for the
Reverse effect type and other effect types.

DECAY (Prm2)
Controls parameter 2 of the REVERB module. This parameter is common to all effect
types.

Troubleshooting
• Nopower
Referto"Turnpoweron"onpage6.
• Reverbeffectdoesnotoperate
While a rhythm pattern is playing, the reverb
effect is not available. Stop the rhythm pattern
first (
g
p. 10).
• Delayeffectdoesnotoperate
While the looping function is being used, the
delay effect is not available. Stop the looping
function first (
g
p. 12).
• Patchswitchingdoesnotchangethe
sound
Is the patch selection method of the G1u set to
"pre-select" (
g
p.18)?Turnpoweroffandthen
on again to return to normal operation.
• Highlevelofnoise
IsZOOMACadapterbeingused?Besuretouse
onlyanadapterfor9VDC,300mAwithcenter
minus plug (ZOOM AD-0006).
• Batterylifeisshort
Aremanganesebatteriesbeingused?Continuous
operation time is about 10 hours with alkaline
batteries.
