Introduction 

 

Thank you for selecting the 

 

ZOOM GFX-3

 

. This product is a sophisticated Guitar Effects Processor with 

the following features. 

 

 

Versatile array of effects 

 

The Variable Architecture Modeling System (VAMS) developed by ZOOM adapts the 
internal configuration of the unit to achieve exactly the desired sound. The GFX-3 
provides 50 choices, ranging from distortion and modulation effects to spatial sound 
processing. 

 

 

 Full complement of distortion effects 

 

20 distortion type effects not only recreate the characteristics of famous vintage amps 
but also duplicate the sound and operation of renowned compact effects and pedals. 
The built-in acoustic simulator makes an electric guitar sound like an acoustic 
instrument.
 

 

 

120 ready-to-use patches 

 

Effect module setting combinations can be stored as patches. The GFX-3 offers 60 
user patches which can be freely modified, plus 60 preset patches. Together, these 120 
settings let you make great music straight away. 
 

 

 

Mode-free editing for creative flexibility 

 

The selectors and keys arranged on the panel let you directly access any effect. 
Because there is no need for mode switching, editing can be performed quickly even 
during a performance. The built-in pedal makes things even simpler by letting you 
vary effect parameters in real time. The GFX-3 is a powerful tool for enhancing any 
live performance. 
 

 

 

Energizer produces powerful sound 

 

The Energizer lets you match the output of the GFX-3 to the playback system. Enjoy 
powerful, dynamic sound even with a small guitar amp or an audio system with flat 
response. 
 

 

 

Designed for use on stage 

 

The metal chassis of the GFX-3 can withstand the rigors of use on stage. Stability is 
excellent, and the dual power supply allows the unit to be powered either from an AC 
adapter or from batteries. With one set of alkaline batteries, the unit will operate 
continuously for up to 11 hours.
