• PATCH
A group of the settings for a certain effect type is called a PATCH. The 510 comes with 24 preset
patches which can be changed (edited) by the user.
• BANK
The 510 calls up patches in sets of four, called a "bank".
The 510 has memory capacity for 24 patches. At the factory, these are programmed with recommended
settings. The user can Edit and Store any patch, and also restore the factory settings.
What Are Banks and Patches?
PATCH LIST
Configuration of Effects
Controls, Functions and Connections
The patches of the 510 are created using the PRE DRIVE, MAIN DRIVE, HIGH/LOW
(equalizer), and ZNR/AMP (Zoom Noise Reduction/Amp Simulator) modules. You can imagine
a module as a box containing various effect settings.
PRE DRIVE and MAIN DRIVE each contain eight effect types, from which you can choose one
at a time. Each effect type in turn is made up of several effect parameters that determine the
sound. Effect parameters can be adjusted, just as you can turn the knobs on a single compact
effect device. A patch is a combination of two effects from the modules, each with their effect
parameters set to certain values.
The effects from PRE DRIVE and MAIN DRIVE can be combined (linked) in two different
ways, as described below. The type of link is also stored as part of the patch.

TUNER indicator
• Bypass/Tuner mode:
Indicator shows that tuning function is active and also serves to show the correct
fine tuning position.
• Edit mode:
Indicator flashes when SERIAL/PARA (Serial/parallel) switching is carried out.
• BATTERY EMPTY WARNING display
When the unit is powered from the battery and the battery is running low, this
indicator begins flashing at a faster rate than in Edit mode. In such a case, replace
the battery as soon as possible.
STORE key
When the contents of patches are to be stored, this key is used for putting the unit in
store standby status and to execute the store function.
• Setting of direct load function
When the STORE key is pressed for at least 1 second during Play mode (during
performance), the direct load function can be switched on or off. [For details, see 10
Patch Switching (Application: Direct Load OFF).]
EDIT key (for creating your own patches)
This key serves to toggle between the Play mode and Edit mode (mode for creating
patches to suit your taste).
In Edit mode, this key can be used to select the effect parameters you wish to
change. Also, when the effect parameter SERIAL/PARA is selected, press this
EDIT key to return from the Edit mode to the Play mode.
• Setting of bank hold function
When the EDIT key is held down for at least 1 second in Play mode, the bank hold
function is turned on or off. [For details, see 9 Patch Switching (Application: Bank
Hold ON).]
INPUT jack
Instrument input.
When the unit is powered by the battery, this jack also functions as the power on/off
switch. The 510 is powered on by plugging a shielded cable into this jack. When the
unit is not in use, the cable should be disconnected to prevent battery drain.
DIRECT OUT jack
Supplies the signal from the INPUT jack without any processing.
Connect to equipment with high input impedance, such as a guitar amplifier or other
effect device.
When the 510 is used together with the DUAL POWER MODULATOR 509, making
the connection as shown below ensures that the HPS (Harmonized Pitch Shifter)
effect of the 509 works correctly.
For details, please refer to the operation manual of the DUAL POWER MODULATOR
509.
DC IN (AC adapter) jack
Serves for connecting an AC adapter (Zoom AD-0006) which delivers 9 VDC, 300
mA with a "center minus" plug configuration. The 510 is powered on by plugging
an AC adapter into this jack.
CONTROL IN jack
The optional foot switch FS01 or expression pedal FP01 can be connected here,
for external control of the 510.
• When the foot switch FS01 is connected:
The PRE DRIVE effect module is switched on and off with the foot switch.
• When the expression pedal FP01 is connected:
The pedal controls a function determined by a parameter of the currently selected
patch, as described below.
(1) Parameter 1 (PRE DRIVE effect type) set to "7" (pedal wah):
Pedal functions as pedal wah.
(2) Parameter 4 (GAIN parameter of MAIN DRIVE) set to "Pd" :
Pedal controls gain of MAIN DRIVE.
(3) Parameter 9 (Serial/parallel switching) set to "Pd" :
Pedal controls mixing balance of PRE DRIVE and MAIN DRIVE modules.
* Functions (1) - (3) can be used simultaneously. For patches where (1) - (3) do not
apply, the pedal serves as volume pedal to control the overall output level.
DISPLAY
Displays information required to operate the 510.
• Play mode
Displays the selected bank (A-F) and patch (1-4).
• Edit mode
Displays the value of the selected effect parameter.
• Bypass/Tuner mode
Shows the pitch of the input signal.
PARAMETER CURSOR indicator
• Play mode
The currently used effect module lights.
• Edit mode
The indicator lights up for the currently used effect module, and the indicator
flashes for the effect module that is turned off. Also, the indicator for the effect
module selected for editing flashes.
• Bypass/Tuner mode
Indicators function as tuning meter.
VALUE +/- keys
• Play mode
The keys serve for bank switching.
• Edit mode
The keys serve for changing the effect parameter.
• Bypass/Tuner mode
The keys serve for setting the tuner reference pitch (calibration).
PATCH UP (right)/DOWN (left) pedals
• Play mode
The pedals serve for patch switching. Pressing both pedals simultaneously
activates the Bypass/Tuner mode.
• Edit mode
The pedals serve for selecting effect parameters. Pressing both pedals
simultaneously turns the currently selected effect module on or off.
• Bypass/Tuner mode
Pressing either pedal cancels the Bypass/Tuner mode to return to Play mode.
OUTPUT jack
This jack is for the output signal from the 510. You can connect either a single
guitar amplifier, using a monaural shielded cable, or two guitar amplifiers, using
a Y-type stereo shielded cable, or a pair of stereo headphones. If the volume level
is low when using headphones, use headphones with low impedance (32 ohms or
less).

* In the "PRE DRIVE MAIN DRIVE" column, "–" indicates serial connection and "/" parallel connection.

* The OCTAVE effect is not suitable for chord input. To prevent wrong operation, pick only precise single notes.

SERIAL
• SERIAL
PRE DRIVE and MAIN DRIVE are connected in series (one after the other).
For example, PRE DRIVE could first apply light distortion, and then MAIN
DRIVE could add heavy distortion.
• PARALLEL
PRE DRIVE and MAIN DRIVE are connected in parallel (side by side) and
their output is mixed. For example, PRE DRIVE could apply the OCTAVE
effect and MAIN DRIVE the OVERDRIVE effect simultaneously.
