Effect Types and Parameters

LEAD

EXTREME  DS

Smooth, bright distortion sound. 

High  gain  sound  with  the  most  powerful  gain 
of any distortion effect in the world. 

ACO.SIM  (Acoustic  Simulator) 

This effect makes an electric guitar sound 

like an acoustic guitar. 

GAIN (Prm)

Sets the DRIVE module parameters. The parameter action differs, depending on 
whether a distortion effect type (Fd – Ed) or Aco.Sim (Ac) is selected. 

When distortion effect type (Fd – Ed) is selected 

30

GAIN 

Adjusts  the  gain  (distortion  intensity). 

When Ac is selected

TOP 

Adjusts the characteristic string tone of acoustic guitar.

EQ module (equalizer) 

EQ LO (Prm)

EQ MID (Prm)

EQ HI (Prm)

Adjusts the LO 
band of the EQ 
module.

Adjusts the MID 
band of the EQ 
module. 

Adjusts the HI 
band of the EQ 
module. 

Lo

Mid

Hi

Adjusts  the  low  range 
(160 Hz)  boost/cut.

Adjusts  the  mid range 
(800 Hz)  boost/cut. 

Adjusts  the  high  range 
(3.2 kHz)  boost/cut. 

ZNR/AMP (ZNR/Amp Simulator) module 

ZNR/AMP (Type & Prm)

This module combines ZOOM's proprietary ZNR (removes noise during play pauses 
without affecting sound quality) with an amp simulator (recreates the sound of various 
speaker cabinets). Type and parameters are adjusted at the same time. 

ZNR  (ZOOM  Noise  Reduction) 

This is the noise reduction function only. Higher settings result in a stronger effect. Set the value as high as 

possible without causing the sound to be cut off unnaturally. 

Combo  &  ZNR 

Combination of ZNR with amp simulator that recreates the sound of a combo amp with closed-back cabinet. 
The  right-digit  value  controls  ZNR  sensitivity. 

Bright  Combo  &  ZNR

Combination of ZNR with amp simulator that recreates the sound of a bright combo amp with open-back 
cabinet.  The  right-digit  value  controls  ZNR  sensitivity. 

Stack  &  ZNR

Combination  of ZNR with amp simulator that recreates the sound of a stack amp cabinet.  The  right-digit 

value  controls  ZNR  sensitivity.

Effect Types and Parameters

MODULATION module 

MODULATION (Type & Prm1)

RATE (Prm2)

Selects the MODULATION module 
effect type and controls parameter 
1 at the same time. 

Controls the value of parameter 2 
of the MODULATION module. The 
parameter action differs, depending 
on the effect type.

Chorus 

Rate

This effect mixes a variable pitch-shifted 
component  to  the  original  signal.  Higher 
right-digit settings result in higher effect 
sound mixing ratio.  

Adjusts  the  modulation  rate.

Ensemble 

This is a chorus ensemble with three-
dimensional  movement.  Higher  right-digit 
settings result in higher effect sound mixing 
ratio. 

Flanger

Rate 

 

This effect produces a resonating and 
strongly  undulating  sound.  Higher  right-digit 
settings emphasize the characteristics of the 
effect. 

Adjusts  the  modulation  rate.

Step

Special effect that changes the sound in a 
staircase  pattern.  Higher  right-digit  settings 
emphasize the characteristics of the effect. 

Pitch Shift 

Shift

This effect shifts the pitch of the original 
sound  up  or  down.  Higher  right-digit  settings 
increase the mixing ratio of the effect sound. 

Sets the pitch shift amount in semitones. "dt" 
results in a detune effect. 

Mono Pitch 

This is a monophonic pitch shifter (for 
single-note playing) with reduced flutter. 
Higher  right-digit  settings  increase  the 
mixing ratio of the effect sound.

Key

This is an intelligent pitch shifter that 
automatically  generates  major  scale 
harmonies  according  to  a  preset  key.  Higher 
right-digit settings increase the mixing ratio 
of the effect sound. 

Specifies the tonic for the scale used for 
pitch shifting. The "

o

" symbol stands for #. 

Vibrato

Rate 

 

This is an effect with automatic vibrato. 
Higher  right-digit  settings  emphasize  the 
vibrato intensity. 

Adjusts  the  modulation  rate.
