Parameters
ZNR/AMP
ZNR/AMP module basic parameters
ZNR
ZNR (ZOOM Noise Reduction) serves for reducing noise during play pauses or
silent passages. Higher setting values result in more efficient noise reduction. Set
the value as high as possible without causing the sound to be cut off unnaturally.
AMP (Amp Simulator)
The amp simulator adds the character of a guitar amplifier to the output signal.
When this setting is selected, the amp simulator is on and ZNR is off.
ZNR+AMP (ZNR + Amp Simulator)
ZNR and amp simulator are both on. Increasing the right- digit value results in
more efficient noise reduction. Set the value as high as possible without causing the
sound to be cut off unnaturally.
Serves for making the ZNR module and AMP module settings.
ZNR is a noise reduction circuit developed by ZOOM,
allowing control over the noise threshold. The AMP module is
a guitar amp simulator that can be switched on or off.
OFF (Off)
ZNR and amp simulator are both off.

CHORUS (Chorus)
This effect mixes a variable pitch-shifted component to the original signal,
resulting in full-bodied and expansive sound. Higher setting values result in a
more pronounced chorus effect.
This effect module comprises effects such as chorus,
flanger, and tremolo. Use the [+]/[-] keys to select the
effect type and adjust the effect intensity.

PEDAL CHORUS (Pedal Chorus)
Using the expression pedal (FP01/FP02) connected to the CONTROL
IN jack, the chorus depth can be adjusted.
FLANGER (Flanger)
This effect produces a unique, undulating sound by shifting the pitch up and
down. Higher right-digit setting values result in faster modulation.
FLANGER > CHORUS (Flanger > Chorus)
This effect type is a serial connection of flanger and chorus. Higher right-
digit setting values result in faster flanger modulation. (Chorus intensity is
fixed.)
PEDAL FLANGER (Pedal Flanger)
Using the expression pedal (FP01/FP02) connected to the
CONTROL IN jack, the flanger modulation rate can be adjusted. The
adjustable range is larger than available with F1 - F9.
DOUBLING (Doubling)
This effect adds very short delay components to the original signal, which
gives the sound a more full-bodied character such as when several
instruments are playing in unison. Higher right-digit setting values result in
more pronounced doubling effect.
DOUBLING > CHORUS (Doubling > Chorus)
This effect type is a serial connection of doubling and chorus. Higher
values result in more pronounced doubling effect. (Chorus intensity is
fixed.)
PEDAL DOUBLING (Pedal Doubling)
Using the expression pedal (FP01/FP02) connected to the
CONTROL IN jack, doubling intensity can be adjusted.
TREMOLO (Tremolo)
This effect periodically varies the volume. Higher setting values
result in faster tremolo.
TREMOLO > CHORUS (Tremolo > Chorus)
This effect type is a serial connection of tremolo and chorus. Higher
setting values result in faster tremolo. (Chorus intensity is fixed.)
