About power
• Since power consumption of this unit is
fairly high, we recommend the use of an
AC adapter whenever possible. When
powering the unit from a battery, use
only an alkaline type.
AC adapter operation
• Be sure to use only an AC adapter
which supplies 9 V DC, 300 mA and is
equipped with a "center minus" plug
(Zoom AD-0006). The use of an adapter
other than the specified type may
damage the unit and pose a safety
hazard.
• Connect the AC adapter only to an AC
outlet that supplies the rated voltage
required by the adapter.
• When disconnecting the AC adapter
from the AC outlet, always grasp the
adapter itself and do not pull at the
cable.
• If the unit is not to be used for a long
time, disconnect the AC adapter from
the outlet.
Battery operation
• Use four IEC R6 (size AA) 1.5 V batteries
(alkaline/manganese).
• The 505 II cannot be used for recharging.
Pay close attention to the labelling of the
battery to make sure you choose the
correct type.
• If the 505 II is not to be used for an
extended period of time, remove the
battery from the unit.
• If battery leakage has occurred, wipe the
battery compartment and the battery
terminals carefully to remove all remnants
of battery fluid.
• While using the unit, the battery
compartment cover should be closed.
Environment
Avoid using your 505 II in environments
where it will be exposed to:
• Extreme temperature
• High humidity or moisture
• Excessive dust or sand
• Excessive vibration or shock
Handling
• The 505 II is a precision instrument.
Except for the foot switches, do not
push other parts with your feet or
subject them to strong force.
• Take care that no foreign objects (coins
or pins etc.) or liquids can enter the unit.
• Be sure to turn the power to all
equipment off before making
connections.
• Before moving the unit, turn the power
off, and disconnect all cables and the
AC adapter.
Alterations
Never open the case of the 505 II or
attempt to modify the product in any way
since this can result in damage to the unit.
The 505 II is a sophisticated multi effect processor for guitar with
the following features and functions:
• Top level performance
While similar in price to a compact effect device, the 505 II
incorporates a varied palette of 33 effects. Up to nine effects
(including ZNR and amp simulator) can be combined in a patch.
The memory of the unit holds 36 rewritable patches, providing no-
holds-barred performance.
• Intuitive user interface
The user interface has been thoroughly redesigned. Large switches
and keys and a rotary selector make the unit extremely simple to
operate. Any desired effect can be called up swiftly and without
fuss.
• Built-in auto-chromatic tuner
The integrated tuning function lets you quickly and precisely tune
your instrument on stage.
• Dual power supply enables operation anywhere
The dual power supply principle allows the unit to be powered
either from an AC adapter or from four IEC R6 (size AA) batteries.
Continuous operation time on batteries is 8 hours with manganese
batteries and 28 hours with alkaline batteries.
• Compatible with foot switch and pedals
An optional foot switch (FS01) or expression pedal (FP01/FP02)
can be connected to the CONTROL IN jack. The foot switch is
useful for quickly switching patches, and the expression pedal can
serve to adjust the volume or effect tone in real time.
• Improved successor to 505
While inheriting the sound characteristics of the very successful
ZOOM model 505, the 505 II is even more compact and carries a
lower price tag. And what's more, it incorporates nine new effects,
including distortion effects using sophisticated modeling
techniques, practical stage-use and special effects.
