SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

In this manual, symbols are used to highlight warnings and 
cautions for you to read so that accidents can be prevented. 
The meanings of these symbols are as follows:

This  symbol  indicates  explanations  about 
extremely  dangerous  matters.  If  users 
ignore  this  symbol  and  handle  the  device 
incorrectly,  serious  injury  or  death  could 
result.

This  symbol  indicates  explanations  about 
dangerous  matters.  If  users  ignore  this 
symbol and handle the device incorrectly, 
bodily  injury  and  damage  to  the  equip-
ment could result.

Please observe the following safety tips and precau-
tions to ensure hazard-free use of the G1u. 

Power requirements

Since power consumption of this unit is fairly high, 
we  recommend  the  use  of  an AC  adapter  whenever 
possible. When powering the unit from batteries, use 
only alkaline types. 

[AC adapter operation] 

•  Be sure to use only an AC adapter which supplies 9 

V  DC,  300  mA  and  is  equipped  with  a  "center 

minus"  plug  (Zoom AD-0006).  The  use  of  an 

adapter  other  than  the  specified  type  may  damage 

the unit and pose a safety hazard. 

•  Connect the AC adapter only to an AC outlet that 

supplies the rated voltage required by the adapter. 

•  When  disconnecting  the AC  adapter  from  the AC 

outlet,  always  grasp  the  adapter  itself  and  do  not 

pull at the cable. 

•  During lightning or when not using the unit for an 

extended  period,  disconnect  the AC  adapter  from 

the AC outlet.

[Battery operation]

•  Use four conventional IEC R6 (size AA) batteries 

(alkaline). 

•  The G1u cannot be used for recharging. 

•  Pay close attention to the labelling of the battery to 

make sure you choose the correct type. 

•  When  not  using  the  unit  for  an  extended  period, 

remove the batteries from the unit. 

•  If  battery  leakage  has  occurred,  wipe  the  battery 

compartment and the battery terminals carefully to 

remove all remnants of battery fluid. 

•  While  using  the  unit,  the  battery  compartment 

cover should be closed. 

 

Environment 

To prevent the risk of fire, electric shock or malfunc-
tion, avoid using your G1u in environments where it 
will be exposed to:

•  Extreme temperatures 

•  Heat sources such as radiators or stoves

•  High humidity or moisture 

•  Excessive dust or sand 

•  Excessive vibration or shock

 

Handling 

•  Never  place  objects  filled  with  liquids,  such  as 

vases,  on  the  G1u  since  this  can  cause  electric 

shock.

•  Do not place naked flame sources, such as lighted 

candles, on the G1u since this can cause fire.

•  The  G1u  is  a  precision  instrument.  Do  not  exert 

undue pressure on the keys and other controls. Also 

take care not to drop the unit, and do not subject it 

to shock or excessive pressure. 

•  Take  care  that  no  foreign  objects  (coins  or  pins 

etc.) or liquids can enter the unit. 

Connecting cables and input and output jacks 

You should always turn off the power to the G1u and 
all other equipment before connecting or disconnect-
ing any cables. Also make sure to disconnect all con-
nection cables and the power cord before moving the 
G1u.  

Alterations 

Never open the case of the G1u or attempt to modify 
the product in any way since this can result in dam-
age to the unit. 
 

Volume 

Do not use the G1u at a loud volume for a long time 
since this can cause hearing impairment.   

Usage Precautions

Electrical interference 

For safety considerations, the G1u has been designed to pro-
vide  maximum  protection  against  the  emission  of  electro-
magnetic  radiation  from  inside  the  device,  and  protection 
from external interference. However, equipment that is very 
susceptible  to  interference  or  that  emits  powerful  electro-
magnetic  waves  should  not  be  placed  near  the  G1u,  as  the 
possibility of interference cannot be ruled out entirely.

With  any  type  of  digital  control  device,  the  G1u  included, 
electromagnetic  interference  can  cause  malfunctioning  and 
can  corrupt  or  destroy  data.  Care  should  be  taken  to  mini-
mize the risk of damage.

Cleaning 

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the G1u. If necessary, slightly 
moisten the cloth. Do not use abrasive cleanser, wax, or sol-
vents (such as paint thinner or cleaning alcohol), since these 
may dull the finish or damage the surface.

Please keep this manual in a convenient place for 
future reference.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS / Usage Precautions

Terms Used in This Manual 

This section explains some important terms that are used throughout the G1u  manual. 

•  Effect module 

As shown in the illustration above, a patch in the 
G1u can be thought of as a combination of up to 
eight single effects. Each such effect is referred to 
as an effect module. 

•  Effect type 

Some effect modules have several different effects 
which are referred to as effect types. For example, 
the  MODULATION  module  is  comprised  of 
chorus,  flanger,  pitch  shifter,  and  other  effect 
types. Only one of these can be selected at a time. 

•  Effect parameter 

All  effect  modules  have  various  parameters  that 
can be adjusted. These are called effect parameters 
or simply parameters. When thinking of an effect 
module as a compact effect, the parameters change 
the  tone  and  effect  intensity  similar  to  the  knobs 
on the device. 

•  Patch 

I

n  the  G1u,  effect  module  combinations  are  stored 

and called up in units referred to as patches. A patch 
is comprised of information about the on/off status 
and effect parameter settings used in each module.

 • Bank 

A group of ten patches is called a bank. 
The memory of the G1u is comprised of a total of 
20  banks, labeled with letters A to J (user-editable 
banks)  and  numbers  0  to  9  (read-only  preset 
banks), as shown in the illustration at top right.  

•  Mode 

The internal status of the G1u is referred to as the 
operation mode. The function of keys and controls 
differs, depending on the respective mode. Modes 
of  the  G1u  include  play  mode  for  selecting  and 
playing  patches,  rhythm  mode  for  playing  a 
rhythm  pattern,  edit  mode  for  modifying  effects, 
and store mode for saving patches. 

When the batteries are 

getting low, the indication 

"bt" appears on the display.

 

When operating the G1u on 

batteries, it is advisable to 

disconnect the guitar cable 

plug from the [INPUT] jack 

when not using the unit, to 

conserve battery power. 

3.

  Close the cover of the 

battery compartment.
