ZOOM G1u

Effect Types and Parameters

•  Module selector 

Shows the position of the knob at which 
this module/parameter is called up. 
 

•  Expression pedal 

Indicates

  a  parameter  that  can  be 

controlled with the expression pedal. 

•  Tap 

Indicates  a  parameter  that  can  be  set  by 
repeatedly  tapping  the  [BANK  UP·TAP] 
key.  When  the  module/effect  type  is 
selected  in  edit  mode,  the  parameter 
(modulation rate or delay time, etc.) will be 
set  according  to  the  interval  in  which  the 
key is pressed. 

Using the G1u as an Audio Interface

When the G1u is connected to a computer via 

the  USB  port,  it  can  function  as  an  audio 

interface  for  the  computer.  The  operating 

environment conditions for this type of use are 

as follows. 

 

Compatible operating systems 

•  Windows XP SP2 or later 
  Windows Vista or later 
•  MacOS  X  (version  10.4.6  or  later/10.5 

or later 

Quantization 

16-bit 

Sampling frequencies 

32 kHz / 44.1 kHz / 48 kHz 

 

With the operating systems listed above, the G1u 
will  function  as  an  audio  interface  simply  by 
connecting  the  USB  cable. There  is  no  need  to 
install any special driver software. 
However,  the  supplied  dedicated ASIO  driver 
allows low-latency audio recording and playback. 
 

If the G1u is connected to a computer via 

a USB cable, and the AC adapter is not 

connected, power will be supplied via the 

USB port. 

 

In this condition, the sound of a guitar connected 
to the [INPUT] jack of the G1u can be processed 
with the effects of the G1u and then be recorded 
on  the  audio  tracks  of  a  DAW  (Digital Audio 
Workstation) software application running on the 
computer. 

At the same time, the [OUTPUT] jack of the G1u 
carries the playback sound from the audio tracks 
of  the  DAW  application,  mixed  with  the  guitar 
sound processed by the effects of the G1u. 
For details on recording and playback steps, refer 
to the documentation of the DAW application. 
 

·  Also  when  using  the  G1u  as  an  audio 

interface,  the  signal  after  effect 

processing  is  always  available  directly 

at the [OUTPUT] jack (allowing use of 

the unit as an effect). 

·  If  the  DAW  application  has  an  echo 

back  function  (input  signal  during 

recording  is  supplied  directly  to  an 

output),  this  must  be  disabled  when 

using  the  G1u.  If  recording  is  carried 

out  with  this  function  enabled,  the 

output signal will sound as if processed 

by a flanger effect. 

·  Use a high-quality USB cable and keep 

the  connection  as  short  as  possible.  If 

power is supplied to the G1u via a USB 

cable  that  is  more  than  3  meters  in 

l e n g t h ,  t h e  l o w  v o l t a g e  w a r n i n g

application called ZFX Tools which comprises 
editor/librarian  functions  and  recording 
functions. 

When the G1u is connected 
to  a  computer  via  USB, 
ZFX Tools  can  be  used  to 
import  patch  data  from  the 
G1u  to  the  computer  for 
editing and storage, and the 
signal from the G1u can be 
recorded on the computer.

For some effect modules, you can select an effect type from several possible choices. 

PATCH LEVEL

PATCH LEVEL (Prm)

Sets the overall volume level of the patch. 

2

1 0

The setting range is 2 – 98, and 1.0. A setting of 80 corresponds to unity gain (input level and output level 

are equal). 

COMP/EFX (Compressor/Special Effects) module 

COMP/EFX (Type&Prm) 

Selects the COMP/EFX module effect type and parameter. 

C 1

C 9

Compressor

This is an MXR Dynacomp type compressor which limits high-level signals and boosts low-level signals to 

compress the overall dynamics of the signal. Higher settings result in higher sensitivity. 

A 1

A 9

Auto Wah 

This effect varies wah in accordance with picking intensity. Higher settings result in higher sensitivity. 

B 1

B 9

Booster 

Raises signal gain and creates a dynamic sound. Higher settings result in higher gain. 

T 1

T 9

Tremolo 

This effect periodically varies the volume. Higher settings result in faster modulation rate. 

R 1

R 9

RingMod (Ring Modulator) 

This effect produces a metallic ringing sound. Higher settings result in higher modulation frequency. 

S 1

S 9

Slow Attack 

This effect reduces the attack rate of each individual note. Higher settings result in slower attack times.
