Introduction - Zoom GFX-707 Operation Manual

Thank you for selecting the ZOOM GFX-707 (hereafter simply called the "GFX-707"). The
GFX-707 is a sophisticated multi-effect device with the following features and functions:
• Large variety of built-in effects
Four separate effect modules (single/combined effects) can be used at the same time, together with
ZNR (Zoom Noise Reduction) and the built-in amp simulator. Effects include analog distortion,
various modulation effects such as chorus and flanger, and reverberation effects such as reverb and
delay. In total, you have a choice of 48 types of effects.
• 60 immediately usable patches
A combination of effect modules and parameter settings stored in memory is called a "patch". The
GFX-707 has room for 30 patches that are read-only and 30 that can be freely modified by the user.
So you have a total of 60 patches readily available. Patches are organized in banks (A - F, 0 - 5),
each with five patches. It is even possible to assign a distinctive name of up to 6 characters to each
patch.
• Designed for use on stage
The GFX-707 will operate continuously for up to 14 hours on one set of alkaline batteries. The large
display showing patch names is easy to read at a distance, and the built-in expression pedal is great
for enhancing any performance. For extended use, the unit can also be powered by an AC adapter.
• Rotary knobs allow speedy parameter editing
When editing a patch, the three knobs on the top panel let you change parameters with a quick and
direct feel. Even during a performance, fine-tuning an effect is no problem at all. The edited patch
can be stored for later use.
• A first in this class: built-in rhythm section
A high quality PCM sound source creates realistic rhythm patterns that are handy for practicing or
for small jam sessions. You can choose from as many as 45 rhythm patterns.
• 6-second sampler
Another advantage is the integrated sampler with a recording duration of up to six seconds. It even
allows half-speed playback without altering the pitch. This feature comes in handy when copying
phrases.
• Jam Play
With a simple foot switch operation, you can record and play a phrase of up to 2 seconds during a
gig. This is great for creating scratch effects such as used by DJs, doing reverse playback or
producing other special effects.
• Integrated amp simulator
Simulates the cabinet sound of a guitar amplifier for a dynamic sound also when sending the line
output to a mixer or recorder.
Please take the time to read this manual carefully, in order to get the most out of your GFX-
707 and to ensure optimum performance and reliability.
