ZOOM BFX-708

Strictly speaking, the PEDAL module is not an effect module. It contains various settings for the expression pedal. 

This is a combined delay and hall effect.  

*  TYPE 4

and 

5

parameters are identical. 

Adjusts delay time in 10-ms steps. 

Adjusts delay mix. 

Adjusts reverb mix. 

This is a combined delay and reverb effect. 

This is a special effect that lets you record your bass guitar signal
while playing and reproduce it in various ways. 

Selects playback method for recorded phrase. 

nM (Normal):

Play in normal direction. 

rS (Reverse): 

Play in reverse direction. 

SC (Scratch): 

Use expression pedal to play with scratch type

effect. From center position, pedal controls either forward or
reverse playback. 

Selects playback method for 

▼ 

foot switch. 

tS (Trigger One-Shot):

Pressing 

foot switch causes one play

run from start. Pressing 

foot switch during play stops play. 

tL (Trigger Loop): 

Pressing 

foot switch causes loop play.

Pressing 

foot switch during play stops play. 

GS (Gate One-Shot):

While 

foot switch is pressed, one play

run from start is performed. Releasing 

foot switch stops play. 

GL (Gate Loop):

While 

foot switch is pressed, loop play from

start is performed. Releasing 

foot switch stops play. 

rS (Retrigger One-Shot):

Pressing 

foot switch causes one play

run from start. Pressing 

foot switch during play causes restart

from beginning. 

Adjusts effect mix.

Parameters

NOTE

TOTAL module 

TOTAL is not an independent effect module. Rather it serves to set parameters that affect all patches or the entire BFX-708. You can
switch between the TOTAL 1 and TOTAL 2 pages with the TYPE (BANK) 

/

keys. 

Parameter knobs 1 and 2 let you input or edit a patch name. Knob
1 specifies the character input position (indicated by the flashing
part of the display), and knob 2 selects the alphanumeric
character to be input at that position. 

Sets final patch level. Level adjustment is performed with
parameter knob 3. A value of 25 corresponds to unity gain. 

Switches Direct Load function on and off. When "on", the sound
changes immediately when the patch is switched (default). When
"oF", reading in the new patch is delayed until confirmed by the
user. 
This parameter applies to all patches. It is stored automatically
when the parameter setting is changed. 

Switches Bank Hold function on and off. When "oF", repeatedly
pressing the 

▲ 

foot switch cycles through all patches and banks,

such as A1 

→ 

A2  

→ 

A3 

→ 

A4 

→ 

A5 

→ 

B1. When "on", the

bank is fixed and patches are switched only within the bank, such
as A1 

→ 

A2 

→ 

A3 

→ 

A4 

→ 

A5  

→ 

A1. 

This parameter applies to all patches. It is reset to "oF" at power-
on. 

Adjusts input signal gain characteristics. 
For details, see 

page 8

.

This parameter applies to all patches. It is automatically stored
when the parameter setting is changed. 

TOTAL 2

TOTAL 1

Selects module to be assigned to expression pedal. 

oF: 

Off 

VL: 

Volume 

dS: 

COMP•DIST module 

Md: 

MOD module 

rv: 

REV module 

Determines how parameter changes when pedal is moved. 

UP:  

Parameter minimum value 

→ 

maximum value 
(forward direction)

dn:  

Parameter maximum value 

→ 

minimum value 
(reverse direction) 

Hi:  

Current value 

→ 

maximum value (forward direction) 

Lo:  

Minimum value 

→ 

current value (forward direction) 

Sets minimum value when using expression pedal as volume
pedal (ASSIGN parameter set to "VL").  

When using the expression pedal as a volume pedal, the
volume changes from the MINVOL value to the maximum
value in the forward direction, regardless of the MODE
parameter setting. 

Parameters 1 and 2 can be set for each patch and are stored
when the patch is stored. Parameter 3 applies to all patches
and is automatically stored when the setting is changed. 

For information on adjusting parameters with the expression
pedal, see

page 22.
