Introduction - Zoom GFX-3 Operation Manual

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.
