ZOOM GFX-707

5

Preparations

1

Use a monaural cable to connect the guitar

to the INPUT jack of the GFX-707. 

At this time, the amplifier power switch and the

power switch of the GFX-707 should be OFF. 

2

Use a monaural cable to connect the

OUTPUT jack of the GFX-707 to the input

of the amplifier. 

By using two amplifiers, you can get great
stereo sound from stereo effects. Use a stereo
Y cable to connect the OUTPUT jack to the
two amplifiers. 

3

To monitor the sound with headphones,

connect the headphones to the OUTPUT

jack. 

4

Verify that the amplifier is turned off and

that the volume control is turned to

minimum. Also verify that the power switch

of the GFX-707 is set to OFF. 

5

When using an AC adapter, plug the output

cable from the adapter into the DC 9V jack

on the GFX-707 and plug the adapter into

an AC outlet. 

To guard against inadvertently disconnecting
the AC adapter cable, wind the cable once
around the hook on the rear panel of the GFX-
707. 

6

Turn on power in the order GFX-707 

amplifier (playback equipment). 

7

Adjust the volume of the amplifier and the

GFX-707 to a suitable position while

playing the instrument. 

The OUTPUT knob of the GFX-707 should be

set to about the 3 o'clock position, and the AMP

SIM knob should be set to the OFF position. 

When the GFX-707 is in the bypass state (all
effects are temporarily turned off; see page
10), the output level will be the same as the
input level if the OUTPUT knob is turned fully
clockwise.
