ZOOM Tri Metal TM-01

Triple high-gain circuit

Innovative design with three high-gain circuit stages opens up a world of new distortion possibilities. Of course, the TM-01
fully reflects the Zoom dedication to analog sound design.

The Zoom Tri Metal TM-01 is a dedicated high-gain distortion unit with the following

features.

3-band equalizer with superb effectiveness

In addition to the BASS and TREBLE controls, the TM-01 features a parametric MIDRANGE control whose turnover point can
be adjusted. This gives you full control over the most important frequency range for drive sound. The TREBLE and BASS
controls are preset to optimum points for heavy rock or metal, making it a snap to get that real "heavy" sound.

Low-noise design

Using only strictly selected parts, the TM-01 has been designed from the ground up for low noise performance, which is
unusual in a distortion type effect.
