Page: 4 / 6

The 510 comes with 24 predefined patches. However, the 510 offers many more possibilities for
combining effects in innovative ways. To discover these possibilities, we recommend that you try
changing the parameters (elements that make up patches) to create your own patches. This
operation is called editing, and is done in the Edit mode.
To switch from normal Play mode to Edit mode, press the EDIT key briefly (for less than 1
second).

* Note that if the EDIT key is held down for 1 second or longer, the Bank Hold mode will be activated.

Immediately after entering Edit mode from Play
mode, the topmost parameter cursor indicator
(PRE DRIVE) flashes, and the setting of this
parameter is shown on the display. The flashing
parameter cursor always indicates which
parameter is selected for editing.

There are a total of eight indicators, assigned to parameters 1 – 8 from top to bottom, plus the
TUNER indicator which is assigned to parameter 9. The parameter functions are as follows.

In Edit mode, the EDIT key or the PATCH UP/DOWN pedals serve to select the parameter.
Each push of the EDIT key moves the blinking parameter cursor indicator one step down. The
PATCH UP/DOWN pedals move the blinking parameter cursor indicator up or down. When the
EDIT key is pressed while the lowest indicator (Parameter 8: LEVEL) is flashing, the TUNER
indicator (Parameter 9: SERIAL/PARA) starts flashing.
When the EDIT key is pressed while the TUNER indicator (Parameter 9: SERIAL/PARA) is
selected, the Edit mode is terminated and the 510 reverts to the Play mode.
PATCH UP moves the blinking parameter cursor one step up and PATCH DOWN moves it one
step down.

* When the PATCH DOWN pedal is pressed while the TUNER indicator (Parameter 9: SERIAL/PARA) is

flashing, the 510 stays in Edit mode and parameter 1 is selected.

*Use the VALUE +/- keys to change the setting of the parameter.

For details on parameters, please refer to section 12 "Effect Parameters".

Editing Patches

(1) While still in Play mode, select
the patch you wish to edit.

(2) Press the EDIT key to
activate the Edit mode.

(1) Use the EDIT key or patch
pedal to select the parameter
you wish to change.

(2) Use the VALUE +/- keys
to adjust the parameter.

(3) While the TUNER indicator (Parameter 9)
is flashing, press the EDIT key to return
to Play mode.

Effect Parameters

Selection of parameters tochange

As described in 11. Editing Patches, parameters to be edited are selected by
repeatedly pressing the EDIT key, but you can also use the patch pedals for
this purpose.

Press the PATCH UP pedal (right patch pedal) to move the parameter
cursor from the bottom up.
Press the PATCH DOWN pedal (left patch pedal) to move the parameter
cursor from the top down.

Effect module on/off switching

The PRE DRIVE, MAIN DRIVE, and ZNR/AMP modules can be switched
on and off individually, and the status can be stored as part of a patch.

• To switch the PRE DRIVE module on and off

In Edit mode, while parameter 1 or 2 is selected, press the PATCH UP
and DOWN pedals together to turn the PRE DRIVE module off.
The display indication for parameter 1 becomes "oF" and for parameter 2
"--".

• To switch the MAIN DRIVE module on and off

In Edit mode, while parameter 3 or 4 is selected, press the PATCH UP
and DOWN pedals together to turn the MAIN DRIVE module off.
The display indication for parameter 3 becomes "oF" and for parameter 4
"--".

• To switch the ZNR/AMP module on and off

In Edit mode, while parameter 7 is selected, press the PATCH UP and
DOWN pedals together to turn the ZNR/AMP module off.
The display indication for parameter 7 becomes "oF".

• For any module that is turned off, pressing the PATCH UP and DOWN

pedals together or pressing a VALUE key once turns the module to on
again and restores the parameter to the original setting that was active
before the module was turned off.

Parameter setting shortcuts

Normally, parameter values are set by tapping the VALUE + or
VALUE - key once for each increment or decrement. For quick operation,
you can use the shortcut function. This is activated in the Edit mode by
pressing both VALUE keys together.
For example, if GAIN (parameter 4) of the MAIN DRIVE module is set to
"Pd" (pedal controls gain) and you want to change it to "12", you would
have to press the VALUE + key 12 times. Instead, you can achieve the same
effect by using the shortcut function: press the VALUE +/- keys together

twice, which will change the value to "10" and then press the VALUE +
key 2 times to arrive at "12".

Master level adjustment

With the 510 you are also able to set the master level that governs the
overall output level.

The master level is adjusted in Play mode. Hold the VALUE +/- keys down
simultaneously for at least 1 second. The current master level will be
displayed for 1 second.

While the level is being displayed, use the VALUE +/- keys to change it.
The setting range is 0-50. (Default value = 40)

The unit does not store the setting for the master level. Each time the power
is turned on it has to be set again.

ZNR is Zoom's original noise reduction which cuts noise level
during pauses. This parameter adjusts the ZNR sensitivity as
well as the amp simulator on/off setting, which simulates the
sound of an amplifier box.

Determines the connection principle of the PRE DRIVE
and MAIN DRIVE modules (serial or parallel).
The parameter also controls the mix level balance setting
for parallel connection, the auto-parallel setting, and the
pedal balance control setting.

ZNR and amp simulator off

ZNR on, amp simulator off. Higher values result in
more effective noise reduction. Choose the highest
value that is possible without causing the sound to
become unnatural.

ZNR off, amp simulator on

ZNR and amp simulator on.
Higher values result in more effective
noise reduction.

Serial connection

Parallel connection.
Larger values result in a higher MAIN DRIVE mix level.

Auto-parallel connection, where the PRE DRIVE and MAIN DRIVE
level balance is controlled by the picking intensity. The harder the
picking intensity, the stronger the MAIN DRIVE influence.

Auto-parallel connection.
The harder the picking intensity,
the stronger the PRE DRIVE influence.

Pedal serves to control the PRE DRIVE
and MAIN DRIVE level balance.

Sets the overall patch level.
Higher values result in higher level.
